"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
CDs available, and every pastor and theologian should own them without question
(they would be foolhardy to pass them by) ... more"

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... What they used
to say of the Puritan John Flavel's preaching, can be said of these CDs: they
are 'hissing hot'! ... more" (emphases added).

1. _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 Bible's 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.

3. WESTMINSTER
DIVINES & OTHER PURITANS (Gouge, Gataker, et al.)
_The
Westminster Annotations and Commentary on the Whole Bible_ (6 volumes, 1657)
The original
title read: "Annotations Upon all the Books of the Old and New Testament:
This Third, above the First and Second, Edition so enlarged, As they make an
entire Commentary on the Sacred Scriptures: The like never before published in
English. Wherein the Text is Explained, Doubts Resolved, Scripture Parallel'd,
and Various Readings observed; By the Labour of certain Learned Divines
thereunto appointed, and therein employed, As is expressed in the
Preface." The preface (found in the first volume) recounts not only a
short history of the English Bible, but sets forth the great advantage to true
Religion which accrues (contrary to the mysticism of the Anabaptists and the
anti-intellectualism of the modern backsliding church) when faithful notes are
"bound in" with the Scripture text -- this bringing forth nothing
different than the effect generated (through God's grace) by faithful
preaching, faithful commentaries, faithful creeds, faithful covenants, faithful
confessions, etc. Pointing out that this blessing from God was never more
obvious than in the case of the Geneva Bible ($159.95, leather hardcover) and
its marginal notes (and that the people knew it to be so when they were left
with Bibles without annotations honoring to God), the preface further states,
"hence were divers of the Stationers and Printers of London induced (by
the people--RB) to petition the committee of the Honourable House of Commons,
for licence to print the Geneva notes upon the Bible, or that some notes might
be fitted to the new translation: which was accordingly granted, with an order
for review and correction of those of the Geneva edition, by leaving out such
of them as there was cause to dislike, by clearing those that were doubtful,
and by supplying such as were defective. For which purpose letters were
directed to some of us from the Chair of the Committee for Religion (in
1648--RB), and personal invitations to others, to undertake and divide the task
among us, and so cometh in our part, whereof we shall give the world a true and
just account in that which followeth." The detailed account which follows
in the preface is fascinating, mentioning, among many other things, the
divines' "use of... the Dutch Bibles... set forth at... Holland, by order
of the States."
The diligence
given, the energy expended, the obvious humility, and the fearful trembling
before God's Word which is evident in these commentators makes this truly a
classic Puritan work -- a work of great value! Just knowing, as Barker points
out, that this commentary was "prepared mostly by Westminster divines, by
order of Parliament, at the time of the Assembly" (Puritan Profiles, p.
37), certainly bodes well for the level of scholarship it contains. Moreover,
with Gouge, one of the most respected English Covenanters at the Assembly
playing a major role, the thoughtful student of Scripture and history ought to
take note: for a theological feast of mature Puritan thought surely awaits
those that sup at this table. Esteemed, by the mid-1640's, "as the father
of the London Ministers," Gouge was elected as Assessor for the
Westminster Assembly on Nov. 25, 1647. His detractors sometimes called him an
"arch Puritan" (cf. Ibid., p. 35). Dr. Gouge's "share of the
useful work consisted of Kings, and the subsequent books down to Esther,
inclusive" (Smith, Select Memoirs of English and Scottish Divines, p.
534). Most of the others chosen to this work had similar credentials, though
not all exhibit equal proficiency and some later backslid from attainments
reached at this point. Nevertheless, when the commentators were first chosen,
these Annotations were produced by some of the most qualified English Puritans
-- as a historical high water mark for Puritan scholarship was beginning to
crest. Furthermore, in prosecuting this work the divines note, "therefore
we have put ourselves to much more pains (for many months) in consulting with
many more authors, in several languages, than at first we thought of, that (for
the propriety of the original text, for pertinent and profitable variety of
versions, for consonancy of parallel Scriptures, and for perspicuity in
clearing of the darkest places) we might bring in such observations, as might
not only serve to edify the ordinary reader, but might likewise gratify our
brethren of the ministry, at least such among them, as have not the means to
purchase, or leisure to pursue, so many books, as (by order of the Committee)
we were furnished with all, for the finishing of the work, committed to our
hands" (preface). As the work wore on, however, it became apparent that
the original intention (of printing these annotations as marginal notes in the
Bible) would no longer fit the scope and length of commentary that had been
produced. Thus, the notes were not added to the Scriptures directly, but rather
published as a separate commentary (which we are offering here) -- except that
we have divided the work into six volumes rather than the original two, because
of logistics.
Brook calls
this a "useful work" and says of its authors that "several of
them were celebrated puritans" (Lives of the Puritans, vol. 3, p. 221n).
Spurgeon comments that it "contains valuable remarks" and that
"the work is probably less esteemed than it should be" (Commenting
and Commentaries). In "A Narrative of His Life and Death" prefixed to
volume one of Gouge's three volume commentary on Hebrews ($99.00 HP, $59.99 P),
we also find this note, "He was likewise chosen by a Committee of
Parliament, among others, to make Annotations upon the Bible, being well-known
to be a judicious interpreter of Scripture. How well he hath performed his
trust is evident to all that read the annotations from the beginning of the
first book of Kings unto Job, which was his part." Furthermore, Neal, in
his history, furnishes us with a helpful (though partial) list of each of the
specific authors and books of the Bible they worked on in the Annotations. He
writes, "Those with asterisks were not of the assembly. Rev. Mr. Ley,
subdean of Chester (The commentary on the five books of Moses), Dr. Gouge (1
& 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther), *Mr. Meric
Casaubon (The Psalms), Mr Francis Taylor (Proverbs), Dr. Reynolds
(Ecclesiastes), *Mr Smallwood, recommended by archbishop Usher (Solomon's Song),
Mr. Gataker (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations), *Mr. Pemberton in the first
edition and *Bishop Richardson in the second (Ezekiel, Daniel, and the smaller
Prophets), Mr. Ley (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John), Dr. D. Featly... (St. Paul's
Epistles). There were two other persons concerned in this work, who might
probably have the other parts of Scripture allotted them, not here mentioned,
viz. Mr. Downham and Mr. Reading" (pp. 504-505). (We have not been able to
ascertain who wrote the notes to books not covered in the list above, so if
anyone is privy to this information please pass it on to us, along with your
source.)
Additionally,
as should be evident, the Annotations were not, strictly speaking, a work of
the Westminster Assembly per se, but rather a work primarily by men who
attended the Westminster Assembly -- including a few others chosen to this task
by Parliament. Notwithstanding, we thought it prudent to title this work in
accord with one of the primary names by which it has come to be commonly known
(i.e "The Westminster Annotations"). As with much of the literature
that was produced by those attending the Westminster Assembly, or by those
sympathetic to their work, the modern reader has much to gain by carefully
considering the words of these spiritual giants. This work is no exception and
we pray that this newly published edition will strengthen and unite the church,
turn individuals to righteousness, uplift the family, and help direct the
nations to the covenanting love that surrounded the work at the Westminster
Assembly in the seventeenth century -- and in all this bring glory to God! 2383

Government of the Church, 1644;" two of Gillespie's sermons, preached
before the House of Common (1644), and the House of Lords (1645); and
Gillespie's answers to Coleman which defend Presbyterian polity against
Erastianism. "Noted for his erudition, keen mind, powerful debating skills
and articulate speech and often called "Great Mr.Gillespie" in his
day, he has been referred to as the prince of Scottish theologians and the
supreme defender of Presbyterian church government" (Nigel Cameron, ed.

the following works by George Gillespie: "Aaron's Rod Blossoming, or the
Divine Ordinance of Church Government Vindicated;" "A Treatise of
Miscellany Questions;" Notes of Debates and Proceedings of the Assembly of
Divines at Westminster (March 1644 to January 1645)." Gillespie is most
famous for his Aaron's Rod which Walker called "the chef d'oeuvre" of
Scottish ecclesiastical theology (cited in Cameron, Dictionary, p. 359-360). He
was a thundering preacher and a prominent member of the famous Westminster Assembly.
Johnston, in The Treasury of the Scottish Covenant cites the following
concerning Gillespie: "That is an excellent youth; my heart blesses God in
his behalf. There is no man whose parts in a public dispute I do so admire. He
has studied so accurately all the points that are yet to come to our Assembly;
he has got so ready, so assured, so solid a way of public debating; that
however there be in the Assembly divers very excellent men, yet, in my poor
judgement, there is not one who speaks more rationally and to the point than
that brave youth has done ever (Baillie from his Letters and Journals). He was
one of the great men that had a chief hand in penning our most excellent
Confession of Faith and Catechisms. He was a most grave and bold man, and had a
most wonderful gift given him for disputing and arguing. The end of a dispute
held by him with some of the promoters of the Engagement was, that Glencairn
said, "There is no standing before this great and mighty man." He was
called malleus Malignantium, "the hammer of the Malignants'"
(Woodrow's Analecta). 558 pages.

_Volume Three
of The Presbyterian's Armoury_
Contains:
Samuel Rutherford's Lex, Rex, or the Law and the Prince; John Brown of
Wamphray's Apologetical Relation; David Calderwood's Pastor and Prelate, or
Reformation and Conformity Shortly Compared; and Causes of the Lord's Wrath
Against Scotland agreed upon by the General Assembly, 1651. Lex, Rex is
"the great political text of the Covenanters" (Johnston citing Innes,
Treasury, p. 305.) "Rutherford was the first to formulate the great
constitutional principle Lex est Rex -- the law is King... much of the doctrine
has become the constitutional inheritance of all countries in modern
times" (Idem.). Brown's anti-prelatical work deals with the lawfulness of
defensive wars, ecclesiastical and civil government, the hearing of curates,
etc. Brown's writing has been said to be "decidedly superior to most of
the Scottish writers of his day, and even to Owen." Calderwood upholds
Presbyterianism over and against prelacy. The Causes of God's Wrath was written
anonymously (James Guthrie was the reputed author), and was at one time burnt
along with Lex Rex. 615 pages.

5. MANTON,
THOMAS
_The Complete
Works of Thomas Manton_ (22 Volumes)
Manton was
"one of the most eminent of the Nonconformist divines." He was born
in 1620 and died in 1677. He was chosen to write "The Epistle to the
Reader: Especially Heads of Families" of the famous Westminster standards.
"Received episcopal institution in 1661. Resigned in 1662, on account of
the Act of Uniformity (which among other wicked, Satanic enactments, its
principal terms required a "declaration of 'unfeigned assent and consent'
to everything contained in the Book of Common Prayer, re-ordination for those
not episcopally ordained" and, most evil of all, "a renunciation of
the Solemn League and Covenant. Knowing that the Puritans would not submit to
such terms, the Authorities framed the Act to secure their expulsion" cf.
Sermons of the Great Ejection by Iain Murray [Banner of Truth, reprinted
1962]). He was a man of great learning and extensive reading, of a sound
judgement, and had the art of reducing volumes of divinity into a narrow
compass. According to Charnock, he was the best collector of sense of the age.
Dr. Bates says , 'A clear judgement, rich fancy, strong memory, and happy
elocution, met in him, and were excellently improved by diligent study'"
(James Darling, Cyclopaedia Bibliographica, 1854, pp. 1953-1954). Some of
Manton's better known volumes contained in this massive set, such as his
commentary on James and Jude and his Sermons on Psalm 119 have been recently
reprinted, but the rest of this outstanding material is still of very rare
occurrence. The 22nd volume contains an enormous index.

6. CALVIN, JOHN
_Calvin's
Selected Works_ (7 Volumes)
These
remarkable volumes contain Calvin's tracts and letters. They clearly exhibit
why Calvin was one of the great saints and why his work was singularly blessed
of God. Understanding these works will shed much light on our current
situation; for many in the professed Christian community live in as great (or
greater) darkness today than those who were contemporaries of Calvin. This set
contains such classics as "The Necessity of Reforming the Church,"
"The Catechism of the Church of Geneva," "An Antidote Against
Trent," "The Sinfulness of Outward Conformity to Romish Rites,"
and much more. Calvin's only letter to Luther, his letters to Knox, Bullinger,
Beza and a host of other Reformers are also all included.

7. HENRY,
MATTHEW
_Complete Works
of the Rev. Matthew Henry (His Commentary Excepted) in Two Volumes_
Here we have
all Matthew Henry's treatises, sermons and tracts as published by himself, with
a memoir of his life. Many of these works have been published as separate books
since they were written and continue to be so (witness the few we have added in
this section), demonstrating that their value has not escaped public notice.
Only, in this set, you get them all "under one roof" and at one low
price! It's unlikely that you will find more devotional or practical teaching
in any other set of books today -- all set forth in that classic easy-to -read
and easy-to-understand style that has made Henry's well known Commentaries
perennial favorites.

8. KNOX, JOHN
_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

KNOX, JOHN
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.

KNOX, JOHN
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.

9. DARLING,

_Cyclopaedia
Bibliographica: A Library Manual of Theological and General Literature, and
Guide to Books for Authors, Preachers, Students and Literary Men. Analytical,
Bibliographical, and Biographical_ (1854)
An
indispensable set for authors, researchers, serious students of Scripture,
librarians, ministers, collectors, rare book dealers, etc. Contains much
information that is either unavailable elsewhere or would have to be gleaned
from several scattered volumes. Its ten volumes total 5245 pages. A phenomenal,
theological, bibliographical resource of staggering comprehensiveness. The
first section of this extremely rare set is a huge bibliography, organized by
authors alphabetically. Most known Biblical and theological publications, to
the author's day, are listed. Includes not only English listings, but Latin,
French and German also. The second part is a topical bibliography categorizing
items under the headings of Universal Knowledge, Theology (including the major
commentaries, sermons, articles and studies for just about every verse in the
Bible), a listing of Scripture texts (Hebrew, Greek and Latin) and an extensive
index. The Morning Post calls this massive work "the most copious,
accurate, and well-arranged catalogue of works in theological and general
literature which has as yet been published." Brownson's Review noted that
"for practical utility we know of none that surpasses or approaches
it." Finally Bell's Messenger states, "No clergyman or antiquarian
should think it needless to possess a copy of this work. It will smooth many a
day's hard toil, by diminishing the labour of research, pointing as it does, in
an instant to works which it might have taken weeks, if not months, or years,
to search after." Don't miss this darling of a help, which will ease and
aid all your theological studies!

10. BOSTON,
THOMAS
_Commentary on
the Shorter Catechism_ (2 volumes)
Two large
volumes of over 1300 pages! Boston's work is the most comprehensive reference
set ever penned on the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Concerning the Shorter
Catechism, A.F. Mitchell states "...it is a thoroughly Calvinistic and
Puritan catechism, the ripest fruit of the Assembly's thought and experience,
maturing and finally fixing the definitions of theological terms to which
Puritanism for half a century had been leading up and gradually coming closer
and closer to in its legion of catechisms" (The Westminster Assembly...).
The Shorter Catechism is the "king of the catechisms" for shear power
of expression, combining logical cogency with succinctness. Boston's exposition
is unrivalled; there is nothing else like it. Here you have the cream of
Puritan catechisms married to the cream of clear Puritan exposition! This is
likely Boston's most important work. A set that will meet numerous needs,
ranging from use in family worship, Christian education and personal study, to
sermon preparation - and for help in settling debated questions on the
Presbytery floor. A one-of-a-kind set of books that will serve your family for
generations to come!

11. RIDGELEY,
THOMAS
_Commentary on
the Larger Catechism_ (2 volumes)
Originally
entitled: A Body of Divinity: Wherein the Doctrines of the Christian Religion
are Explained and Defended. Being the Substance of Several Lectures on the
Assembly's Larger Catechism, we have re-titled it to better reflect its
contents for contemporary readers. Consisting of over 1300 pages, this massive
and extensive two-volume commentary on the Westminster Larger Catechism is
unrivaled in scope or extensiveness. Ridgeley himself notes, in "The
Author's Preface" (p. ix), "The work is large, but the vast variety
of subjects will render it more tolerable.... especially since it is rather
designed to be read in families than committed to memory..." The editor of
this edition, John Wilson, pronounces Ridgeley's work as "the best book of
its class," stating, "no book in the English language, or, so far as
I know, in any other, will serve so efficiently the purposes of a daily
companion to a reflecting Christian in his inquiries into Divine truth, or a
guide to a candidate for the Christian ministry in introducing him to his
theological studies (p. xi). "In 1731 appeared the first edition of Mr.
Ridgeley's great work ó that in connection with which chiefly his name lives in
history, and whose influence, as an instrument of good, will probably render
him celebrated and useful for generations to come... (p. xxii)." Moreover
he continues, "a taste, however, for the racy and substantial theological
writings of the days of Britain's moral giants has of late revived; and it will
scarcely fail to adopt, as one of the richest dishes of its multifarious
banquet for the intellect and the soul, Dr. Ridgeley's Body of Divinity (p.
xxi)." Additionally, Wilson concludes his "Life of the Author"
with these words, "His method of reasoning he has adapted to the
capacities of those who are unacquainted with the abstruse terms made use of by
metaphysicians and schoolmen, and when introduced into subjects of theology,
have a tendency rather to perplex than to improve the mind. His scheme of
divinity is evidently Calvinistic; but; then, he has explained his subjects
with so much moderation and latitude, as to obviate many of the objections
raised against the system of doctrines that passes under that name. Upon the
whole, it is probable that the English language does not furnish a work of this
nature that, for perspicuity of language, extent of research, accuracy of
judgement, and judicious description of the numerous subjects that fall under
examination, any way equals this work of Dr. Ridgeley... he was accounted one
of the most considerable divines of his age" (emphasis added, p. xxiii).

12. FOXE, JOHN
_Acts & Monuments
or Foxe's Book of Martyrs_ (c. 1554; 8 volumes,1843-49 edition)
"No book
ever inflicted a wound so deep and incurable on the Romish system of
superstition & bloody persecution... (it) was placed in... all churches and
chapels throughout the kingdom, by order of Queen Elizabeth." (Smith,
Select Memoirs, p. 245). Contains much information not found in any of the
liberally edited & severely shortened editions of this classic work which
are in print today. Covering martyrs from the early church through to Foxe's
day, it was one of the most influential books of the sixteenth century! It
overflows with faith building testimony of the power of God to overcome the
most cruel & barbarous acts of human depravity & demonic cruelty. 6890
pages.

13. BANNERMAN,
JAMES
_Church of
Christ: A Treatise on the Nature, Powers, Ordinances, Discipline, and
Government of the Christian Church_ (1869)
Two large
volumes. The classic on the Church! This is the most extensive study of its
kind ever compiled. Nothing compares to it on this subject. Regarding these
gems, Iain Murray has stated, "In our day, however greatly we need an
evangelical revival, we need more than that. We need another Reformation, a
movement which will go 'to the root of the mischief' and bring back the visible
church to the pattern of God's Word in her government, ordinances and ministry.
The republication of Bannerman is a step in that direction... For those who
wish to study the doctrine of the Church in its several aspects as it was held
by the majority of the Reformers, Puritans, Covenanters and leaders of 'The
Third Reformation,' it will prove an invaluable textbook." Volume one
deals with the nature and power of the church, containing a lengthy explanation
of the Church in its relation to the state (which is one of the best treatments
of this topic to be found anywhere!). From there, it deals with matters in
regard to which church power is exercised (i.e. in regard to doctrine, ordinances,
the instrumentality and time of public worship - with a discussion of holy
days, Independency, and confessions). Volume two continues where volume one
left off, providing a lengthy section on the sacraments, covering the parties
in whom the right to exercise church power is vested, examining crucial points
concerning Christian liberty, comparing the Popish, Prelatic, Independent,
Congregational and Presbyterian systems, etc. Nine appendices deal with a wide
range of practical topics including union between churches, church/state
relations, ordination, and valuable notes on the literature related to this
subject. If you are interested in Church issues, you won't find a better set.

14. DIODATI,
JOHN
_Pious and
Learned Annotations Upon the Holy Bible Plainly Expounding the Most Difficult
Places Thereof By that Godly and Famous Divine, Mr. John Diodati, Late Minister
of the Gospel in Geneva_ (third edition [in two volumes], 1651)
The title
continues: "Corrected and much augmented, with additional notes of the
same author, throughout the whole work. And the analysis upon each several book
of the Old and New Testament, setting down the chief heads contained therein,
being very much enlarged, is now fully completed in this third edition."
"These Annotations were first written in Italian, by a reverend Protestant
Divine of the Church of Geneva, the most reformed in all France, and famous for
the great lights of it, John Calvin, Theodore Beza, and this renowned John
Diodati, their successor both in place and eminent erudition.... In fine, here
are choice Meditations, and sound expositions, more to be valued then refined
gold... and the choicest subject the world ever afforded, being Jesus Christ
and him crucified, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (Translator
from "To the Reader"). Concerning Diodati, Darling (Cyclopaedia Bibliographica,
p. 918) writes, "Born at Geneva 1576; died 1640. This celebrated Italian
Protestant divine, belonging to a noble family from Lucca in Italy, is known
chiefly by his biblical works, and by his translation of Father Paul's History
of the Council of Trent into French. He was sent in 1618 by the Church of
Geneva to the Synod of Dort. His translation of the Bible into Italian is still
considered one of the best." Regarding these Annotations in particular
Darling further notes, "Short, but comprehensive practical annotations;
many of them were introduced into the (Westminster--RB) Assembly's Annotations.
The above (i.e. the third edition--RB) is the best edition." Richard
Baxter, in compiling a list of the most essential books for Christian edification,
after listing the Bible and a Concordance, counseled Christians to obtain
"a sound Commentary or Annotations, either Diodati's, the English (or
Westminster--RB) Annotations, or the Dutch (A Christian Directory, p. 732).

15. DABNEY,
ROBERT LEWIS
_Discussions of
Robert Lewis Dabney_ (3 volumes, 1891)
Warfield called
Dabney "the most conspicuous figure and the leading theological guide of
the Southern Presbyterian Church, the most prolific theological writer that
Church has as yet produced." These three volumes of articles and essays
vindicate Warfield's statement. "This is not a book to be read and
returned to the library shelf," states the well known Baptist minister Al
Martin, "rather, as I have found to my own profit, it ought to be read, digested,
and kept close at hand as a guide, companion and constant prod to us." Dr.
Archibald Alexander called Dabney, "the best teacher of theology in the
United States, if not the world." Freundt notes, "Dabney championed
the doctrines of Calvinism and applied them consistently and practically to the
great issues of his times." Indexed, 1901 pages.

16. HALL,
ARCHIBALD
_Gospel
Worship: Being An Attempt to Exhibit the Scriptural View of the Nature,
Obligations, Manner, and Ordinances, of the Worship of God, In the New
Testament_ (2 volumes, 1770)
Hall writes,
"I am not ashamed to declare myself a warm conscientious friend of the
reformation-system of doctrine, worship, discipline,and government, which is
publicly professed in the church of Scotland, and delineated in the Confession
of faith and Catechisms, in the Directory for the worship of God, and in the
Form of Presbyterial church-government,--all composed by the Assembly convened
at Westminster (1643-1647). But my attachment to this system arises, neither
from the authority of that assembly, nor from a devoted regard to my
connections, whom I honour and esteem in the Lord; but from the conviction,
upon enquiry, that this system, for which our ancestors so nobly contended, is
founded upon, and agreeable to the oracles of God" (preface. iv-v).

17. SHEDD,
WILLIAM G.T.
_Dogmatic
Theology_ (3 volumes, 1888)
Three large
volumes, totalling 1879 pages, for the advanced study of Calvinism. Closing up
the labors of forty years of theological research and meditation, Shedd steps
forth as a major proponent of the Augustinio-Calvinistic system of thought.
Drawing heavily from citations in works of the Ancient, Mediaeval and
Reformation periods, and from the English and Continental divines of the 16th and
17th century, Shedd's work is unsurpassed in many respects. He thoroughly and
comprehensively deals with all the major areas of theology, including the
doctrine of God, Anthropology, Christology, and Eschatology. Also contains a
very useful theological introduction and bibliography.

18. CALDERWOOD,
DAVID
_The History of
the Kirk of Scotland_ (in 8 volumes)
"The
extensive learning and eminent talents of the Rev. David Calderwood, his
matured experience in ecclesiastical affairs, and especially in those of his
native country, the persecutions he had endured for his beloved Church, and the
numerous works he had written in its defence, all qualified him, in the
happiest manner, for becoming a Historian of the Kirk of Scotland. Above all,
when the narrative was to be one of struggle and suffering, in which the
principalities and powers of the earth, as well as those of darkness, were the
antagonists, the record of such a conflict fell most aptly into the hands of a
man whom a monarch had in vain attempted to brow-beat, and a whole hierarchy to
silence. His own heart also appears to have affectionately inclined towards
this his most congenial occupation, so that, after his return from exile, he
spent many years in collecting and arranging the materials necessary for such
an important task. At last, when he had reached his seventy-third year, the
General Assembly, for the purpose of enabling him to perfect his work, granted
him an annual pension of 800 pounds Scots. Calderwood died only two years
afterwards; but he lived to accomplish his purpose of writing the History of
our National Church from the commencement of the Reformation to the close of
the reign of James the Sixth, in two, if not three successive and copious
revisals" (Preface to volume one, pp. v-vi). This massive set (of over
6000 pages) was printed between 1842 and 1849. It contains a 171 page index and
Thomson's "Life of David Calderwood." The contents are listed and
dealt with chronologically by year; beginning in the preamble with the descent
of the Scots from the ancient Gauls, but formally covering the period (focusing
to the church) from 1514 to 1625. Documents and information available no where
else (that we know of) are also included in this set. Must reading for
researchers and those interested in church history!
