"I have been systematically working through
reading the... Reformed CDs I purchased. I must say, there is nothing like
them available anywhere. It is the most amazing collection of works I know of
in one package to date... The Puritan and Reformed material presented on these CDs
is exceptional. I am continually amazed at the depth and breadth of information
in both collections, and the rarity of works that I now have at my fingertips.
You have done an immeasurable service for the Kingdom of Christ in making these

The Scottish Confession of Faith
(1560)
A Faithful Admonition to the
Professors of God's Truth in England (1554) by John Knox ("After dispatching the Two
Comfortable Epistles,
Knox awaited further news on the Protestant cause in England. The information
he received within the next few weeks was certainly discouraging. The
government of Queen Mary conducted a crackdown against Protestants; faithful
preachers [including Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley] were placed under arrest. Popish
prelates were restored to the positions of highest authority: notably Edmund
Bonner to the bishopric of London, Stephen Gardiner to his former see of
Winchester, and Cuthbert Tonstall to Durham. Further, among the laity, many
professing Protestants had begun to drift back to the Romish communion,
partaking of the papal Mass. Some tried to cover their deeds with the
explanation that their outward conformity to Romish rites did not necessitate
their inward acceptance of the corruptions of Rome. Writing to his
mother-in-law, on July 20th, Knox records with grief his knowledge that 'a
great part, under pretence that they may keep faith secret in the heart, and
yet do as idolaters do, begin now to fall before that idol.' Meanwhile, others
were holding fast the good confession, refusing to submit to Romish idolatry.
Secret meetings of Protestants were held throughout the land, as the true
church went underground. Knox's previous letters were styled comfortable
epistles; he now sees the need for a firmer admonition. While acknowledging the
risk of persecution to the faithful, the reformer perceives a greater danger in
compromising with idolatry. Government persecution may bring the disfavour of
men, loss of personal goods and, in some cases, physical death; but idolatry
brings down the wrath of God, resulting in grievous punishments, now and
through eternity. Idolatry also invites a curse upon the posterity of the
nation. In an intense pastoral appeal, Knox strongly admonishes his readers to
avoid conforming to the Romish rites of worship. This treatise also has
important ramifications respecting the duties of Christians confronted by
political or ecclesiastical tyranny," writes Kevin Reed. Extracted from: Selected
Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions to the Year
1559.)
The Appellation from the Sentence
Pronounced by the Bishops and Clergy: Addressed to the Nobility and Estates of
Scotland (1558) by
John Knox (Mason states
that this Appeal "is
the most important... of Knox's political writings," [in the Introduction to his compilation
of Knox's political writings titled On Rebellion]. It shows in a conclusive manner that
Knox wanted a CIVIL ESTABLISHMENT of the Reformed religion, which was careful
to "disapprove, detest, oppose and remove all false worship and all
monuments of idolatry" [cf. Westminster Larger Catechism #108]. It also
clearly demonstrates that Knox believed in and promoted the continuing binding
validity of the moral equity found in Old Testament case laws and the penal
sanctions attached to them, including the death penalty.
Knox's Call to the Ministry and First
Public Debate (1547)
with an editor's note by Kevin Reed
("The following extract is taken from Knox's First Book of the History
of the Reformation within the Realm of Scotland: Containing the Manner and by
What Persons the Light of Christ's Evangel hath been Manifested unto this Realm,
After that Horrible and Universal Defection from the Truth, which has Come by
the Means of that Roman Antichrist
[Knox's Works, Vol.
1, pp. 185-201]. It contains the reformer's own account of his call to the
ministry, and his first public debate with popish authorities," writes
Kevin Reed. This debate illustrates that at "the outset of his public
ministry, Knox gave expression to the regulative principle of worship. Knox
built upon this theme throughout his writings. It is important to note this
declaration of the principle appeared early in his career, prior to his
extensive contacts with the continental reformers" [Reed]. Extracted from:
Selected Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions
to the Year 1559.)
A Vindication of the Doctrine that the
Sacrifice of the Mass is Idolatry (1550) by John Knox
The First Blast of the Trumpet Against
the Monstrous Regiment of Women (1558) by John Knox
("The First Blast of the Trumpet is, perhaps, Knox's most famous and
controversial work. In the twentieth century, few people have read the book,
and still fewer have made an attempt to understand the reformer's position. For
Knox, the teaching of scripture alone is sufficient to prove that women should
not bear rule over men. The testimony of scripture is so plain, he wrote, that
'to add anything were superfluous, were it not that the world is almost now come
to that blindness, that whatsoever pleases not the princes and the multitude,
the same is rejected as doctrine newly forged, and is condemned for heresy' (p.
390)... The treatise was published in Geneva in 1558. As indicated in the
preface, the work was published anonymously. The author wished to conceal his
identity, until he had issued two more blasts, intending to disclose his name
with the publication of the Third Blast. The reformer's plan to write two sequels remained
unfulfilled, although he later published a summary of the contents which he
proposed to treat in the Second Blast. The summary of the Second Blast was appended originally to his Appellation (1558), but readers will find this
summary following the First Blast in the present volume..." notes Kevin Reed. Included among
the propositions to be dealt with in Knox's Second Blast we find, "No manifest idolater, nor
notorious transgressor of God's holy precepts, ought to be promoted to any
public regiment [government], honour, or dignity, in any realm, province, or
city that has subjected itself to his blessed evangel." This statement
clearly demonstrates how Knox was a forerunner of those valiant Covenanters who
later laid down their lives rather than compromising the truth of Christ's
Kingship in and over the civil realm. This etext is extracted from: Selected
Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions to the Year
1559.)
A Summary, According to the Holy Scriptures,
of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper (1550) by John Knox ("This brief declaration, although
a separate composition, was appended to Knox's Vindication of the Doctrine
that the Sacrice of the Mass is Idolatry [1550]," notes Reed. Extracted from: Selected
Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions to the Year
1559.)
The Order of
Excommunication and Public Repentance (1569) was adopted by the church of Scotland in
1569. The text of this edition is based primarily upon the published edition in
The Works of John Knox, edited by David Laing (Edinburgh: James Thin, 1895),
vol. vi, pp. 447-70.
A Treatise on Prayer, or, a
Confession, and Declaration of Prayers Added Thereto by John Knox
A Brief Exhortation to England, for
the Speedy Embracing of the Gospel Heretofore by the Tyranny of Mary Suppressed
and Banished (1559 ) by
John Knox ("In
November 1558, Bloody Mary died, much to the relief of the entire Protestant
world. Most of the Englishmen in Knox's congregation in Geneva made plans to
return quickly to their native country. About this same time, Knox addressed a
letter to the English nation, calling for national repentance over the recent
apostasy during Mary's reign, and explaining the urgency of a thorough
reformation. Some historians have reflected negatively on the vehemence of
Knox's remarks. Perhaps they should peruse the long list of the martyrs named
in the appendix to this work. Critics may then find a clue for understanding
the reformer's zeal. Knox is discussing serious matters of life and death --
spiritual issues which affect us deeply in this life, and for eternity,"
notes Reed. Extracted from: Selected Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles,
Treatises, and Expositions to the Year 1559.)
An Epistle to the Inhabitants of
Newcastle and Berwick (1558) by
John Knox ("During
the "wicked days" of Mary's reign in England, many Protestants
defected from the faith. Others displayed a compromising and timid disposition,
which implied acquiescence to the evil deeds of the tyrants who ruled in civil
and ecclesiastical matters. No doubt, the news from England was grievous to
Knox, who never relinquished his concern for the people in Newcastle and
Berwick, among whom he had previously ministered during the reign of Edward vi.
With intense pastoral zeal, the reformer sent this epistle, calling upon the
people to repent of their apostasy and diffidence, and urging them to defend
the true religion in the face of adversity," notes Kevin Reed. Extracted
from: Selected Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and
Expositions to the Year 1559.)
A Godly Letter of Warning or
Admonition to the Faithful in London, Newcastle, and Berwick (1553) by John Knox ("The Godly Letter of Warning or
Admonition is filled with urgency, in view of the spreading apostasy in
England. Knox calls upon his readers to hold firm their profession of the
Protestant faith. He admonishes them to flee from all practices of idolatry --
especially the Mass. Knox calls his people to separate from compromising
associations with idolaters; the Lord's people must never condone false
religion, or give the impression that corrupt worship is a matter of
indifference. Toward the end of the treatise, the reformer makes a moving
appeal to the people to consider the ramifications which their actions will
have on their posterity. He also discusses the covenantal relationship between
God and the church," notes Kevin Reed. Extracted from: Selected
Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions to the Year
1559.)
Letters to His Brethren, and the Lords
Professing the Truth in Scotland (1557) by John Knox
("In December Knox sent a general letter to his brethren in Scotland,
warning them to avoid the pernicious influences of the Anabaptists. He sent an
additional letter to the nobility, exhorting them to undertake their duties to
foster reform in Scotland. The reformer remained in France for several months,
labouring among Protestants there. Then, early in 1558, he returned to
Geneva," notes Kevin Reed. Extracted from: Selected Writings of John
Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions to the Year 1559.)
Letter Addressed to the Commonalty of
Scotland (1558) by
John Knox ("After
writing letters to the queen regent and the nobility (see pages 437-532), Knox
turns his attention to the ordinary citizens of Scotland. The reformer
demonstrates that all men have a duty to heed the word of God, and to promote
true religion within their homeland. Knox exhorts the commonalty to resist both
civil and ecclesiastical tyranny," notes Kevin Reed. Extracted from: Selected
Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions to the Year
1559.)
Letter to the Queen Dowager, Regent of
Scotland (Augmented Version) (1558) by John Knox
("This epistle is particularly interesting as it addresses the duty of
magistrates to promote true religion. It reveals the prophetic spirit which was
typical of much of the reformer's ministry," notes Kevin Reed. Extracted
from: Selected Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and
Expositions to the Year 1559.)
A Letter of Wholesome Counsel,
Addressed to His Brethren in Scotland (1556) by John Knox ("The importance of this letter was
not overlooked by the reformer's biographer, Thomas M'Crie, who stated that it
may be viewed "as an important document regarding the state of the
Protestant church in Scotland previous to the establishment of the
Reformation" (Life of Knox [Edinburgh, 1855], p. 95). On the whole, the
epistle is a primer on how to sow the seeds of Reformation, in times when the
church is in a low condition. Thus, this letter has great relevance for
contemporary Christians who find themselves isolated from a regular (faithful)
ministry and duly constituted reformed congregations," notes Kevin Reed.
Extracted from: Selected Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises,
and Expositions to the Year 1559.)
A Notable and Comfortable Exposition
upon Matthew IV, Concerning the Temptations of Christ in the Wilderness (1556) by John Knox ("Early in 1556, Knox journeyed to
Scotland to help strengthen the budding cause of Reformation. He preached in
houses and dispensed the Lord's Supper to those who had broken with the church
of Rome. Knox returned to Geneva in September, undertaking pastoral duties
within the English-speaking congregation there. Knox took his wife, Marjory,
and her mother, Mrs. Bowes, back to Geneva with him. ... Since this Exposition
was initially preached, before being written, it provides a rare glimpse of the
reformer's pulpit ministry. The Exposition reveals another facet of Knox's
eminent pastoral gifts," notes Kevin Reed. Extracted from: Selected
Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions to the Year
1559.)
An Exposition Upon the Sixth Psalm of
David (1553) by
John Knox (Extracted
from: Selected Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and
Expositions to the Year 1559.)
Two Comfortable Epistles to His
Afflicted Brethren in England (1554) by John Knox
("The two following epistles were written by Knox after his return to
Dieppe, and are dated the 10th and 31st of May 1554." notes David Laing in
an editor's note to Knox's Works,
Vol. 3, p. 229. Extracted from: Selected Writings of John Knox: Public
Epistles, Treatises, and Expositions to the Year 1559.)
Answers to Some Questions Concerning
Baptism, etc. (1556 ) by
John Knox ("The
advice which follows deals mainly with the subject of baptism. Among the
questions Knox addresses are: Is Romish baptism valid? Should baptism be
repeated in the case of those who were baptized in infancy according to the
Romish order? The other queries concern unrelated subjects: Are the prohibitions
of the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15), respecting unclean foods still binding? How
should tithes be collected and distributed?," notes Kevin Reed. Extracted
from: Selected Writings of John Knox: Public Epistles, Treatises, and
Expositions to the Year 1559.)

The Monstrous Regiment of
Women (Interview with Colin Gunn) by Kevin Swanson
What can we say when women rule in the family, the church, and the state? We
can tell you what God thinks in Isaiah 3:12. Or we could tell you what the
reformer, John Knox thought about it. And
that's precisely what Colin Gunn does in his award winning film, 'The
Monstrous Regiment of Women.'
It may have won the most politically incorrect film of the day, but then again,
that's what Mary Queen of Scots thought about the Knox tome. The subject is far more relevant and
incendiary today than ever before. Do not miss this historical interview

The Works of John Knox (6
volumes)
Here is a chance to touch the flame that ignited whole nations for covenanted
Reformation. John Knox is considered by many to have been the most biblically
consistent and thoroughgoing of all the great Reformers of the sixteenth
century. "John Knox was in fact the embodiment of the Scottish Reformation
as its preacher, theologian, liturgist, historian, and catalyst for
reform." (Hall and Hall, ed. Paradigms in Polity: Classic Readings in
Reformed and Presbyterian Church Government [Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans
Publishing Company, 1994], p. 219)."With this concern for purity of
worship," notes Kevin Reed regarding Knox, "it is no wonder that the
Scottish Reformation was the most thorough among any of the Protestant
nations." (From the introduction to John Knox, True and False Worship: A
Vindication of the Doctrine that the Sacrifice of the Mass is Idolatry [Dallas,
TX: Presbyterian Heritage Publications, 1550 reprinted 1994], p.14.). "I
know not," states George Smeaton, "if ever so much piety and genius
were lodged in such a frail and weak body. Certain I am, that it will be
difficult to find one in whom the gifts of the Holy Spirit shone so bright to
the comfort of the church." (Cited in Thomas M'Crie, The Life of John Knox
[1831], p. 272.) The Works of John Knox listed here is the complete six volume
set collected by David Laing, 1895. Concerning this 6 volume collection, Kyle,
in The Mind of John Knox (p. 14) notes, "The only real basis for a study
of Knox's thought must be the writings of the reformer himself. From 1846 to
1864, David Laing collected and edited nearly all of Knox's extant writings.
This remarkable collection, which scholars regard highly, is indispensable for
any serious study of John Knox."

The price and contents of each volume, if purchased outside the above set,
is individually listed below:
Vol. 1 - Unedited History of
the Reformation in Scotland (Book 1 & 2) and 18 appendices.
Reid, in his Trumpeter of God, notes that Knox "wrote history as a
prophet" and that, wherever he could, he used original sources, many of
which he reproduced. Furthermore, he proclaims that this "is still a work
that no one interested in this area can afford to neglect." As W.C.
Dickinson has commented, "it is his monument, for in it he puts flesh and
blood on the whole Reformation movement." Innes (John Knox, p. 45) says of
this work, "[t]he author who has enabled us to see his own confused and
changing age under ëthe broad clear light of that wonderful book' the History
of the Reformation in Scotland, and who outside that book was the utterer of
many an armed and winged word which pursues and smites us to this day, must
have been born with nothing less than genius ó genius to observe, to narrate,
and to judge. Even had he written as a mere recluse and critic, looking out
upon his world from a monk's cell or from the corner of a housetop, the
vividness, the tenderness, the sarcasm and the humour would still have been
there." Moreover, Burton writes, "[t]here certainly is in the English
language no other parallel to it in clearness, vigour, and picturesqueness with
which it renders the history of a stirring period" (cited in Innes, John
Knox, p. 45). This photocopy edition far surpasses the editeddown version that
is available in paperback. Over 600 pages of stirring Reformation history.

(Hardcover photocopy) $34.00 (US funds)
Vol. 2 - Unedited History of
the Reformation in Scotland (Book 3, 4 and 5) and six appendices, index, etc.
"Knox portrayed the origins and development of a movement and not a mere
chronology of events... Knox based his arguments on original sources and he
often cited the documents in full. When Knox's History is compared to the
contemporary vernacular narratives of Bishop Leslie and Sir James Melville, the
superiority of Knox's work becomes evident. For the most part, these writers
were preoccupied with petty details and had no conception of the momentous
issues that hung on the events they recorded... Knox used history to
demonstrate his single-track philosophy. And his philosophy said: 'The hearts
of men, their thoughts, and their actions are but in the hands of God.' Lee
said Knox's History was a sermon without an audience, a preaching book, one
long inflammatory speech in behalf of God's truth as the reformer saw it."
(Kyle, The Mind of John Knox, p. 13). Our editions of volumes one and two of
Knox's Works contain the only full, unedited version of Knox's massive History
of the Reformation in Scotland available today.

Full
SWRB CD comment from Dr. McMahon:
"I
have been systematically working through reading the Puritan and Reformed CDs I
purchased.
I must say, there is nothing like them
available anywhere.
It is the most amazing collection of works I
know of in one package to date.
In
my opinion, it far surpasses Ages Software and their collections.*
The
Puritan and Reformed material presented on these CDs is exceptional.
I
am continually amazed at the depth and breadth of information in both
collections, and the rarity of works that I now have at my fingertips.
You
have done an immeasurable service for the Kingdom of Christ in making these CDs
available, and every pastor and theologian should own them without question
(they would be foolhardy to pass them by)."

* It is SWRB's
opinion that Ages has done an excellent job in making various Reformed works
available on CD, so much so that we also distribute a number of their CDs at
discounts. Thus, please don't make more out of our publishing this comment than
is warranted, as this is a comment we received from one of our customers and it
expresses his opinion. As for Ages' work, we rejoice whenever the truth is
published, whether through others or through SWRB (as we play only a very small
part in the revival of classic Reformation, Puritan and Covenanter thought that
is now taking place worldwide through God's marvelous grace). The publication
of the best Reformers and Puritans of the past is one of the greatest needs of
our time, as this extends the blessings that come through faithful preachers
and authors into our day and into the future. Lord willing, the growth in the
publishing of faithful works from the past will help stem the tide of the great
declension and unfaithfulness which we are now witnessing all around us, even (sadly)
among many churches that still call themselves "Presbyterian" and/or
"Reformed." So please pray together with us that our Lord will
multiple the number of faithful publishers and publications, and that He will
give many the heart to stand for the truth no matter the consequences (as He
has done for our faithful forefathers, who resisted Satan and sin unto blood
and even to martyrdom in many cases). -- RB.
"SWRB's
Puritan and Reformation CD libraries are an invaluable source for the study of the
history and theology of classic Reformation theology. The collection is
remarkable not only for depth of content, but also for the rarity of many of
the works. Most seminary libraries will not have even a percentage of the works
available on these CD-ROMs. I cannot imagine anyone working in Reformation /
historical theology that would not want to use the Puritan and Reformed
libraries!"

"I
just received your CD collection. One bit of advice: you should instruct your
customers to take about 1 week off just to peruse the tables of contents for
these CD's, followed by another week off, in order to recover from the
state of shock in which they will find themselves.
In
all seriousness, this collection is almost impossible to describe. It has to be
seen to be believed. As a pastor, my library has just increased
dramatically.
As a Ph.D. student in Puritan and Post-Reformation studies, I have immediate
access to many of the same works for which I would normally need to access
through rare book rooms of theological libraries.
Thank
you for this labor of love. Thank you for making it accessible, both
financially and technologically. May the Lord richly bless you for this service
to his people."

"You
all are doing a wonderful service by making all these materials so readily
available. Having them on my hard drive is BETTER than having access to a
rare book library with all of them in hand... I have found the CD set
invaluable as a tool of scholarship. So once again I commend you brothers for making
it available."

"It's
been several weeks now since I received the CDs and have had some time to
digest some of them. All I can say is, "WOW!" This is truly a
library like no other, and has already paid great dividends not only in my own
personal worship and study, but in my teaching as well. I first balked at the
price, but after seeing the vastness of the material, I almost feel as though
I'm robbing you!
I
pray that the Lord will allow you to get these materials into the hands of as many
ministers as possible."

Full
SWRB CD comment from Dr. Moore:
This
collection of 62 CDs is a truly astounding accomplishment. There is nothing
like this available to the ordinary Christian on the whole face of the earth.
Now,
for the first time ever, ordinary Christians can have direct and near
effortless access to the very cream of Puritan and Reformed, as well as
Covenanter, literature.
These
books are often in fascinating first editions and many are electronically
linked and indexed for the first time. The ordinary Christian may here dig
into a simply staggering wealth of literature, from devotional and sermonic
material to technical and scholarly works. Even in the days of the Long Reformation
itself ordinary Christians didn't get to see this kind of library -- most
couldn't read for a start, and even those who could, would never have been able
to afford to buy even a hundredth part of the material on these CDs. Truly we
are without excuse!
And
the significance of this collection goes even beyond that. No longer do we have
to wait for modern Reformed publishing houses to predict that a particular
Reformation or Puritan book will be sufficiently popular to make it economical
to reprint, or to deem it "safe" enough to be let loose on the modern
evangelical church. Rather, we are now able to see for ourselves the whole
range of the Puritan and Reformed publishing enterprise, including views that
are usually suppressed by most modern devotees of "Puritan" piety!
Buy
these CDs while you can, and find out for yourself what the First and Second
Reformations were really all about! You'll be truly amazed, and, by God's
grace, will grow from being an ordinary Christian to being an extraordinary
one. What they used to say of the Puritan John Flavel's preaching, can be
said of these CDs: they are "hissing hot"!

"This
side of eternity I'll never be able to repay the favor you have done mankind by
bringing these... CDs together.
The
first week of reading I grew more as a Christian reading those rich, pure
Gospel Commentators than I have in 18 years of Christian life. After reading some of
the Puritan CDs I have to get the Reformation set if it kills me. A fire is
burning within me. These... CDs are liable to start a revival fire unseen in
any generation... the Gospel in its pure form is seen in these... CDs.
Sir,
I cant say enough. What a treasure! I'll never be able to repay you this side
of heaven, but when we get there I am sure you will see the rich fruits of your
labor. God bless you for not being money hungry but wanting to see Christians
grow in the Lord... I love you even though we have never met, you have
helped me in my Christian walk tremendously with these... CDs.
I
am not bragging on the flesh, I am just giving honor where honor is due. The
Holy Ghost will take these CDs and light a fire unseen and unheard of. God
bless you all at Still Waters."

Email from the USA
"Thank
you so very much for the CDs.
I am amazed at the quality and quantity of
the literature...
I
cannot imagine any other single thing being done by any man or group of men in
the earth today that is of such extensive, present, and enduring value as
this CD work is.
God
be praised that he uses sickly and weak men to forward his kingdom, that the
work may not be mistaken to be wrought by the might of men, but by his Spirit.
His strength is perfected in weakness."
