"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).

Resource 1. LEA,
CHARLES HENRY
A History of the Inquisition
of the Middle Ages (1887, 4 volumes)
One of the perennial (and insurmountable)
challenges for men like Scott Hahn, Gerry Matatics,
and Karl Keating -- men who have devoted their lives and labors to
the defense and promulgation of the Roman Catholic apostasy -- is dealing with
their Church's history. The grim irony is that while
these modern champions of Antichrist demand submission to the Holy Roman
Church, contending that she alone has the witness of history and truth on her
side, it is her very history indeed which removes forever any crumb of
credibility to her claims of faithfulness and infallibility. Thus, it has always been
one of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of Christ's faithful witnesses
simply to recount the true and undeniable history of the Mother of Harlots and
Abominations of the Earth (Rev. 17:5). This tactic was used with
devastating success by Luther, Calvin, and others, and is of equal necessity
and efficacy in our day -- especially in light of the detestable neutrality and
even outright returning to the ways of Rome on the part of so many
"Protestant" and even "Reformed" and "Presbyterian"
churches. Through this means it is hoped that God will wake up His people to
the true nature of the ever-raging battle with the Dragon and his minions, and
drive us to our knees to seek His face, His forgiveness, and His grace to stand
against the darkness in our respective places and callings -- particularly
teaching our children the mighty acts of God in delivering His people in times
past from so great an evil, that they might be thankful and put their trust in
Him (Ps. 78:1-8).
In his atrocious chronicle, Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism,
Scott Hahn conveniently omits any mention of the
volumes of embarrassing and self-refuting details of the Roman Church's true
history, choosing instead to caricature the Reformers, pretend to scholarly
acumen, and do the very thing he hypocritically accuses Lorraine Boettner of
doing: presenting a lying portraiture of Rome. (See also the
reference to Hahn in the book summary for William Whitaker's Disputation on
Holy Scripture,
another irrefutable resource for squelching his siren song of spiritual
seduction: http://www.swrb.com/catalog/W.htm .) Therefore, we invite all seekers of truth to examine for themselves
one ugly chapter in the annals of Rome's abominations: the inquisition of the
Middle Ages. It is with gratitude to our merciful God and the
earnest desire for His powerful blessing that we once again present to the
public what was once a standard treatment on the subject, Henry Charles Lea's History
of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages.
To close, we leave you with Larry Birger's
comments. They are to the point and provide us with a telling summary of this
work (and the thoughts and feelings of righteous
indignation that such writing is sure to evoke among those led by the Spirit of
God),
I am simply amazed at the true
history of Rome. The best and only explanation I can find for why men would
endure, much less embrace, such a "church" is what God says in 2
Thess. 2: that He's given them over to blindness, that they might believe great
lies and thereby be justly damned for their failure to receive the love of the
truth. In just the glances I had at Lea's work, I am simply astonished that any
individual could submit himself to the "Holy Mother" of harlotries
and abominations which Rome is clearly seen to be in these volumes. The
Romish legacy of demonic brutality, inhumanity and disgrace stretches the
ability of even fallen man to comprehend.

Reformed Confessions
Harmonized: With an Annotated Bibliography of Reformed Doctrinal Works
"For the first
time, seven important confessional statements produced in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries have been harmonized in a single volume. Three
strands of Reformed churches in Europe are represented:
Dutch-German: the Belgic
Confession of Faith (1561), the Heidelberg Catechism (1563), and the Canons of
Dort (1618-19)
Swiss: the Second Helvetic
Confession of Faith (1646-47)
Scottish-English: The Westminster
Confession of Faith (1646-47) and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms (1647)
This book's practical value is further enhanced
by its arrangement. The various confessions of faith have been arranged in
parallel columns under the traditional categories and subject headings of
systematic theology.
Readers will find it easy to study and compare the formulations on particular
points of doctrine, such as the Trinity, justification, Christian liberty, and
baptism... Drs. Beeke and Ferguson also provide a
historical introduction to the confessions and the respective conditions under
which they were framed. For those who desire to do further research,
an extensive annotated bibliography (of 24 pages--RB) of Reformed theological
writings is included" (back cover). 284 (8.5" X 11") pages.

Independence a Great Schism: Proved
Against Dr. (John--RB) Owen, His Apology in his Tract of Schism (1657)
Chapter titles include: Of
the Nature of Schism in Scripture; Causeless Separation from a true Church is
Schism; Of the Church Catholic Mystical, and its Union; Of the Church Catholic
visible, and its Union; Independentism in Donatism; Of the particular Church,
and its Union; Independentism, a great Schism. Also contains "an appendix to the former discourse of schism; showing
the inconstancy of the Dr. and the inconsistency of his former and present
opinions." Dr. Calamy called Cawdrey, "a man of great
consideration, eminently learned, and a noted
member of the (Westminster--RB) assembly of divines. He preached
sometimes to the members of parliament... was ejected from his living at Great
Billing, and separated from his friends and his flock, by the act of
uniformity, after having laboured, for the edification of his people in that
place, for 36 or 37 years" (Thomas Smith, Select Memoirs... of Pious
and Learned English and Scottish Divines, pp. 488-489). 249 pages.

Resource 6. Merle
D'Aubigne, J. H.
History of the Reformation in
Europe in the Time of Calvin (8 volumes, 1880 edition)
This engaging set, comprising eight volumes, is
the sequel to J.H. Merle D'Aubigne's History of the Reformation of the Sixteenth
Century
(in 5 Volumes, 1846, [$US34.91, cerlox bound photocopy; $US89.00, Hardcover
photocopy OUT OF PRINT]). In his typical
easy-to-read, captivating style, the author resumes where he had left off in
his other five volumes (which focused more on Luther and the period of Reform
up to 1531), entering, in this set, upon the more developed Reformation thought
of Calvin, Knox, et al.
The preface (in volume one) of this important
work states it this way,
At the conclusion of the preface to the first
volume of the History of the Reformation, the author wrote, 'This work will
consist of four volumes, or at the most five, which will appear successively.'
These five volumes have appeared. In them are described the heroic times of
Luther, and the effects
produced in Germany and other countries by the
characteristic doctrine of that reformer -- justification by faith. They present a picture
of that great epoch which contained in the germ the revival of Christianity in
the last three centuries. The author has thus completed the task he had
assigned himself; but there still remained another.
The times of Luther were followed by those of
Calvin. He, like his great predecessor, undertook to search the Scriptures, and
in them he found the same truth and the same life; but a different character
distinguishes his work.
The renovation of the individual,
of the Church, and of the human race, is his theme. If the Holy Ghost
kindles the lamp of truth in man, it is (according to Calvin) 'to the end that
the entire man should be transformed.' -- 'In the kingdom of Christ,' he says,
'it is only the new man that flourishes and has any vigor, and whom we ought to
take into account.' This renovation is, at the
same time, an enfranchisement; and we might assign, as a motto to the
reformation accomplished by Calvin, as well as to apostolical Christianity
itself, these words of Jesus Christ: The truth shall make you free. (John 8:32)...
The reformation of the sixteenth
century restored to the human race what the middle ages had stolen from them; it delivered them from
the traditions, laws, and despotism of the papacy; it put an end to the
minority and tutelage in which Rome claimed to keep mankind for ever; and by
calling upon man to establish his faith not on the word of a priest, but on the
infallible Word of God, and by announcing to every one free access to the
Father through the new and saving way -- Christ Jesus, it
proclaimed and brought about the hour of Christian manhood...
Luther transformed princes into heroes of the
faith, and we have described with admiration their triumphs at Augsburg and
elsewhere. The reformation of Calvin was addressed
particularly to the people, among whom it raised up martyrs until the time came
when it was to send forth the spiritual conquerors of the world. For three centuries it
has been producing, in the social condition of the nations that have received
it, transformations unknown to former times. And still at this very day, and
now perhaps more than ever, it imparts to the men
who accept it a spirit of power which makes them chosen instruments, fitted to
propagate truth, morality, and civilisation to the ends of the earth.
In this extensive
chronicle of international Reformation the author has made use
of the archives in Geneva, Calvin's Latin letters, numerous French documents of
the sixteenth century and many other sources not
readily available (especially to English readers). This has
greatly increased the value of this work, as a great deal of this information
is not available elsewhere in English. Moreover, the broad historical and
geographical range (from the Hugenots to the Netherlands to Norway and on)
covered herein, coupled with the author's extensive research (in various
languages) makes this an unique treasure for those seeking to "walk in the
footsteps of the flock" (Song of Solomon 1:8). In
fact, there are few other large Reformation histories, written by Calvinists,
that rival this set.

Resource 7. BANNERMAN,
JAMES
Church of Christ: A Treatise
on the Nature, Powers, Ordinances, Discipline, and Government of the Christian
Church (1869)
Two large volumes. A classic on the Church
and worship!
This is one of the most extensive studies 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.

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.

Hebrews Commentary (1655,
1866 edition, 3 volumes)
Originally titled: "A Learned and Very Useful Commentary on the Whole Epistle to the Hebrews;
Wherein Every Word and Particle in the Original is Explained, and the Emphasis
Thereof Fully Shewed; the Sense and Meaning of Every Verse Logically and
Exactly Analyzed; Genuine Doctrines Naturally Raised; The Manifold Types of
Christ Unveiled, etc. Being the Substance of Thirty Years' Wednesday's Lectures
at Blackfriars, London." Darling calls this "a labourious and
valuable work, of very rare occurrence" (Cyclopaedia Bibliographica, p. 1295). "We greatly prize Gouge," writes Spurgeon of this
commentary, "upon any topic which he touches he gives outlines which may
supply sermons for months" (Commenting on Commentaries). Gouge was a leader among the Covenanted English Presbyterians,
a respected member of the Westminster Assembly and one of its most active

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). Includes Manton's better known volumes, such as his
commentary on James and Jude and his Sermons on Psalm 119, as well as a host of
other practical preaching, teaching and Scriptural exposition. The 22nd volume
contains two large indices (by subject and text). A full list of everything

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 (who defended the regulative principle of worship) 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, along with Beza's 100 page Life of Calvin are also all included. Indexed, 3507 pages.

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). 1104 pages.

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

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).
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!

THEODORE (Revised and enlarded by Peter Hall)
The Harmony of Protestant
Confessions Exhibiting the Faith of the Churches of Christ, Reformed After the
Pure and Holy Doctrine of the Gospel, Throughout Europe
After 1579 (and some failed attempts at writing
a common Protestant Confession), it was decided that it would be a safer plan
to compile a Harmony, in which the Protestant Confessions already extant
could be distributed under certain heads, and by which all parties involved
might be called back to agreement and any appearance of variation that existed
might be discussed and explained. The design was accordingly entrusted to Theodore Beza (Calvin's student and successor in Geneva),
Daneau, and Salnar. Twelve major
Confessions, beginning with Augsburg (1530) through to The
Confession of Scotland (1560), are catalogued
according to topics (loosely ordered along the general lines of the headings
found in the Westminster Confession) in this unique and massive volume.
The Westminster Confession (1647), The Synod of Dort (1619), The Thirty-nine
Articles of the Church of England (1571), and the Irish Articles of 1615, have
all been appended to this work, increasing its value and making it the most comprehensive compilation and topically indexed
reference tool available to creedal Christians today! Over 700

JOHN
On Justification by Faith
Luther called justification by faith alone (i.e.
apart from works) the doctrine by which the church stands or falls. "From," this book "which clearly enunciated
Luther's great theme of justification by faith, it can be certain that Knox was
squarely in the mainstream of the Reformation's purpose of restoring the gospel
of Jesus Christ to its rightful place... The Scottish reformer
asserted that the wicked believe works to be a part of salvation, but a true
preacher must exclude them from justification as did Christ and the prophets. Yet Knox did not condemn good works, for as shall be
seen, he held them to be a fruit of justification, but not the cause of it....
Finally, he contended that the faith of the Old Testament fathers and that of
the New Testament, which he possessed, were one and the same. The
patriarchs stood in God's favor in the future promised Seed, and Knox stood in
God's grace by faith in the Seed that had already been revealed. Such a
position of exact continuity in the promise of
the gospel and in the content and object of the faith bore some resemblance to
the 'Federal Theology' or the covenant theological system that developed more
formally at a later date" (Kyle, The Mind of John Knox, pp. 85, 98).

WALKER, PATRICK (Compiler)
Biographia Presbyteriana (2 volumes, 1827
edition)
Volume one covers the lives and
remarkable testimonies of Alexander Peden (also
know as Peden the Prophet,
because of the extraordinary [and always accurate] prophecies that God gave him
throughout his life), John Semple, John Welwoold and Richard
Cameron. Volume two covers the lives of
Donald Cargill, Walter Smith, and James Renwick. Walker's advantage in writing
of these men, as Hay Fleming points out, can be seen in "that he lived
in the times of which he wrote, that he personally knew many of the Covenanters
and martyrs of whom he wrote, and that he was himself a shrewd observer and was
endowed with a tenacious memory." Walker
himself had endured imprisonment and torture for Christ's Covenanted cause and
Burton writes that his "unadorned descriptions of suffering and heroism
convey a lesson to the heart which no genius or learning could
strengthen."
Pertaining to Peden's prophetic
gifts,
note the following two testimonies (and Walker includes a great number of
similar accounts in this book),
"In the year 1689, after the murdering of
Mr. Cameron, and these Worthies with him at Airdsmoss, he (Peden--RB) was near
Machline in the Shire of Air. One Robert Brown of Crosshouse, who lived near
the Newmills, and one Hugh Pinaneve Factor to the Earl of Lowdon, stabled their
horse in that house where he was, and went to a fair in Machline: And in the
afternoon, when they came to take their horse, they got a drink; and in the
time of it, the said Hugh, a wicked wretch both in principle and practice,
brake out in railing against the sufferers (i.e. the faithful Covenanters--RB),
particularly against Mr. Cameron. Mr. Peden being in another room, over-hearing
all, was so grieved, that he came to the Chamber-door, and said to the said
Hugh, Sir, hold your peace; ere Twelve a clock you
shall know what for a man Mr. Cameron was; God shall punish that blasphemous
mouth and cursed tongue of yours, in such a manner as shall be astonishing and
affrighting to all that shall see you; and shall set you up as a beacon to all
railing Rabshakehs. Robert Brown,
knowing Mr. Peden, hasted to his horse, being persuaded that Mr. Peden's words
would not fall to the ground, and fearing that some mischief might befall him
for being in the said Hugh's company. They rode hard home; Robert went to his
own house, and Hugh to the Earl's house; and casting off his boots, he was struck with such sickness and pain through his
body, with his mouth so wide, and his tongue hanging so far out in a fearful
manner, they sent for the said Robert, being used to take blood: he got some
blood of him, but all in vain; he died before midnight. The said
Robert, an old man, told me this passage, when in prison together" (p.
51).
"...the same night after this discourse,
while about family worship, about ten or eleven of the clock, explaining the
portion of Scripture he (Peden--RB) read, he suddenly halted, and hearkened,
and said three times over, 'What's this I hear?'
and hearkened again a little time, and clapt his hands and said, 'I hear a dead
shot at the throne of Britain; let him go yonder, he has been a black sight to
these lands, especially to poor Scotland; we're well quit of him; there has
been many a wasted prayer wearied on him.' And it was concluded by all, the
same hour, in the same night, that unhappy man Charles the II died.
I had this account from John Muirhead and others, who were present, and
confirmed in the truth of them by some worthy Christians, when I was in
Ireland" (p. 56).
There are few things like the
life stories of faithful Christians who have been persecuted and even martyred
for faithfulness to the whole counsel of God to stir the soul to greater
diligence and zeal in all areas of holiness. Indexed, over 700 pages.

(on behalf of the Session of the
Puritan Reformed Church of Edmonton)
A Reformation Discussion of Extraordinary
Predictive Prophecy Subsequent to the Closing of the Canon of Scripture (1998)
"The following document is a response to
questions raised by Mike Wagner (a member of the Puritan Reformed Church of
Edmonton or PRCE) regarding the position of the PRCE on the subject of
extraordinary predictive prophecy subsequent to the closing of the canon of
Scripture. This is not intended to be an
exhaustive treatment of the subject, but simply a response to specific
questions asked. Though this was not initially intended for public
distribution, we have received requests that it be made available to a wider
audience. It is hoped that this summary of our position will aid the Church of
Christ by encouraging further study of this difficult subject" (Introductory
paragraph).
This book (of 28 pages) clearly
demonstrates that many major Reformers (and even the early church fathers) were
not strict cessationists, nor were they "Charismatics." It shows
how extraordinary predictive prophecy was practiced during both Reformations
and how the Reformers justified this from Scripture. Proof for this
continuing practice (and the parameters laid out in Scripture) is provided from
the teaching and practice of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland
(from the Second Book of Discipline), John Knox, Samuel Rutherford, George
Gillespie, James Durham, David Steele, John Calvin, Martin Luther, Thomas
Goodwin, Justin Martyr and a host of others. Notice, for
example, the following comment by George Gillespie,
I must say it, to the glory of
God, there were in the church of Scotland, both in the time of our first
reformation, and after the reformation, such extraordinary men as were more
than ordinary pastors and teachers, even holy prophets receiving extraordinary
revelations from God, and foretelling diverse strange and remarkable things,
which did accordingly come to pass punctually, to the great admiration of all
who knew the particulars. Such were Mr. Wishart the martyr, Mr. Knox the
reformer, also Mr. John Welsh, Mr. John Davidson, Mr. Robert Bruce, Mr.
Alexander Simpson, Mr. Fergusson, and others. It were too long to make a narrative
here of all such particulars, and there are so many of them stupendous, that to
give instance in some few, might seem to derogate from the rest, but if God
give me opportunity, I shall think it worth the while to make a collection of
these things (George Gillespie, "Miscellany Questions," in The
Works of George Gillespie Vol. 2, Chapter 5, section 7, p. 30).
The following eight questions
are answered herein:
Question #1 - What is the
difference between the theological position on prophecy (extra biblical
revelation) of the above mentioned men of God and the present day charismatics?
Question #2 - What is the explicit
Scriptural teaching that underlies and justifies what those men of God did? Why
should I believe that extra-biblical revelation can still occur?
Question #3 - Is the cessationist
position basically correct with extraordinary exceptions, or is the
cessationist position a theological error that should be repudiated?
Question #4 - Is it permissible for
church officers to receive extra-biblical revelation that will guide them in
the direction of church affairs?
Question #5 - Is it permissible for
members of our congregations to claim to receive extra-biblical communications
from God about future events and to claim to be prophets?
Question #6 - How would someone
know that he has received extra-biblical communication from God rather than
having simply deceived himself?
Question #7 - How would I know that
someone claiming to get extra-biblical revelations from God is actually getting
such revelations from God?
Question #8 - What is the
difference between mysticism and genuine spiritual experience?
