THE
ENGLISH HEXAPLA EXHIBITING THE SIX IMPORTANT ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF THE NEW
TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES, WICLIF, TYNDALE, CRANMER, GENEVAN, ANGLO-RHEMISH,
AUTHORIZED OR KING JAMES VERSION (1841)
"Hexapla,"
of course, means "six-fold" or "six-columned" As the
section of this book explaining the "Plan of the English Hexapla"
notes, "the term 'Hexapla' was originally applied to the work executed by
Origen in the 3rd century; in which the first column contained the Hebrew Text
of the Old Testament; the second, the Hebrew text in Greek letters; the third,
Aquila's Greek version; the fourth, the translation of Symmachus; the fifth,
the LXX version (i.e. the Septuagint--RB); the sixth, Theodotion's
version." The English
Hexapla offered here
contains the six English translations noted in the title, arranged side by side
for easy comparison and reference. Dates for each version used are as follows:
Wiclif (1380), Tyndal (1534), Cranmer (1539), Geneva (1557), Rheims (1582),
King James Version (1611). Of special interest may be the Geneva 1557 version
(from a copy of the first edition), as both Geneva Bibles presently in print contain
later versions (1599 and 1602) of this text. It should also be noted that the
notes to the Geneva Bible are not included in the English Hexapla, just the text. The 1611 edition of the KJV will
also be of value to those who would like to compare it with the more modern
version of this translation. "The notation of the verses has been inserted
in all the translations, for convenience of reference... In illustration of the
utility of the comparison of the various translations, much that is interesting
might be advanced, but which the use of the volume will at once afford. The
varied, although ordinarily equivalent manner in which the different
translators render the same phrase, often throws much light upon the exact
meaning; and when the versions vary in sense, the enquiry suggested with
reference to the Original cannot fail to afford profit while it interests"
("Plan of the English Hexapla," pp. 161-162). Additionally this
English Hexapla also includes "The original Greek text after
Scholz with the various readings of the Textus Receptus and the principal
Constantinopolitan and Alexanderine manuscripts, and a complete collation of
Scholz's text with Griesbach's edition of 1805... The Greek text has been
placed in the upper part of each page, for the purpose of facilitating the
comparison of the versions with the Original, so desirable when they vary in
rendering any passage." This is all preceeded by a detailed and annotated
160 page historical account of the English translations.

THE COMPLETE 1599
GENEVA BIBLE
For the first time in over 390 years,
the complete 1599 edition of the Geneva Bible is again available! The Geneva
Bible is the Bible with marginal notes authored by John Calvin, John Knox,
Miles Coverdale, and many other leaders of the Reformation. The Geneva Bible
was the predominant English translation during the period in which the English
and Scottish Reformations gained great impetus. Iain Murray, in his classic
work on revival and the interpretation of prophecy, The Puritan Hope ($12.98),
notes, "... the two groups in England and Scotland developed along
parallel lines, like two streams originating at one fountain. The fountain was
not so much Geneva, as the Bible which the exiles newly translated and issued
with many marginal notes... it was read in every Presbyterian and Puritan home
in both realms" (p. 7). This time also saw the rise of the forces for
covenanted Reformation against the corruption and abuses of prelacy and the
royal factions. Darkness was dispelled as people read this Bible and saw for
themselves that there is no authority above the Holy Scriptures. Discerning
this truth, it became apparent that the civil tyranny and the heretical
superstitions imposed by Pope, King and Bishops were to be resisted unto death,
if necessary (i.e. because these innovations in church and state were opposed
to the Kingship of Christ and the law of His kingdom, as set forth in Holy
Scripture). Furthermore, this is the Bible that led to the King James edition.
James (a flaming homosexual, megalomaniac, and tyrant) did not want the
Calvinistic marginal notes of the Geneva Bible getting into the hands of the
people because he considered them "seditious;" hence, he authorized
the King James Version as a substitute (though the KJV far surpasses modern
translations). Although most people today have never heard of the Geneva Bible,
it was so popular from 1560 to 1644 that it went through 140+ printings. The
reason for its popularity among the faithful is obvious: the marginal notes
promoted a full-orbed, nation-changing Protestantism! Taking a modern work,
such as the Scofield Reference Bible, and comparing the notes to those of the
Geneva Bible, it will readily be seen that the religion of the Protestant
Reformation bears no resemblance to much of the nonsense being prattled today!
This is the only edition presently in print containing the complete Old and New
Testaments. Deluxe Leather hardcover.

opinion, it far surpasses Ages Software and their collections.*
The Puritan

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

* 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."

all are doing a wonderful service by making all these materials so readily

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"!

Jonathan D. Moore, Cambridge, UK.

"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."
