* 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!

pray that the Lord will allow you to get these materials into the hands of as

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."

"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."

Resource 1. BARROW,
GREG
The Covenanted Reformation Defended
(1998)
Unsurpassed on points related to the Lord's supper, separation and covenanting as
set forth by the best Reformers and best Reformed churches. This book (in
answer to the neopresbyterianism of Richard Bacon) is particularily strong on
matters related to the original intent of the Westminster divines! It includes great citations from Calvin and the Westminster
Assembly. Deals with many foundational aspects of the Covenanted Reformation (which gave us the Westminster Standards and the Solemn League and Covenant)
from numerous original source documents (from the Westminster Assembly's advice to the English
Parliament on the Lord's Supper to the official records of Calvin's Covenanting
in Geneva).
Comprehensive and compelling, this is a shocking
(and sometimes advanced) look at what really
took place during both the first and second Reformations -- with
extensive quotations from the writings of the major Reformers (not just quotes
from what others have written about them). It conclusively and irrefutably
demonstrates that those churches which today call themselves Presbyterian (and
even many which claim a more general Reformed heritage) have seriously departed
from the Scriptural standards, principles and worship of these previous
Spirit-led Reformations.
The Covenanted Reformation
Defended is written in an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand format and
is an unsurpassed work that should not be missed by anyone interested in real
Reformation in our day. This is without a doubt the
best book to read if you want to understand what it means to be a Covenanter
and to walk in the blood-stained footsteps of the witnessing church (Christ's
Covenanted and Reformed flock) (Song
1:8)! 318 pages, 8.5" X 11".

Eschewing Ecclesiastical
Tyranny (Protestant Biblical Separation)
by Greg Barrow (DEBATE with Richard Bacon) 1
Corinthians 2:15
The classic Reformation position on biblical
separation, Protestant private judgment, the visible church, etc. -- contra
Antichrist (the Papacy) and wayward liberal Protestants. This is appendix G
from The Covenanted Reformation Defended:
"A brief examination of Mr. Bacon's
principles regarding the visible church and the use of private judgment. Also,
some observations regarding his ignoble attack upon Mr. Kevin Reed in his book
entitled The Visible Church in the Outer Darkness."

Protestant Antidote to Modern
Disunity (1/5)
by Greg Barrow (DEBATE with Richard Bacon)
Defection from Reformation teaching on
separation, unity, church membership, church government, terms of communion,
creeds, confessions, covenants, etc., exposed (in modern Presbyterian and
Reformed churches) and corrected in accordance with Scripture and the best
teachers and preachers of the (first and second) Protestant Reformations. This
is chapter four from the book The Covenanted
Reformation Defended: "Misrepresentation
#4: The Puritan Reformed Church of Edmonton (PRCE) is
guilty of imposing the traditions of men upon the conscience by requiring terms
of communion that are unscriptural."

Resource 2.
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! 2383 (8.5" X

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

Resource 4. REFORMED CHILDREN'S BOOKS
Children love these colorfully illustrated Bible stories written by
Carine Mackenzie. These books contain
NO pictures of Christ and come from a Reformed publisher. They are finely crafted and can stand up to the
"hard use" that they will sometimes meet at the hands of younger
children. Because of the expensive type of paper used (and especially the
glossy covers) these books can weather some staining by liquids (however, they
are not indestructible). These features are especially helpful when you you
have a "full quiver," and some of your "arrows," in the
pre-reading years, have got use of their hands and legs to the extent that they
are quite mobile -- but are still young enough to handle books somewhat
roughly. These are among the best books for younger
children, concerning both content and durability, that we have found.

Resource 7. THE
PSALMS OF DAVID IN METRE (i.e. the Scottish Metrical
Psalter of 1650): Allowed By the Authority of the Kirk of Scotland, and
of Several Branches of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. With
Notes, Exhibiting the Connection, Explaining the Sense, and for Directing and
Animating the Devotion (1844 edition published by Robert Carter [New York])
John Brown of Haddington (annotations).
Psalter by Francis Rouse, the
Westminster Divines, and the Scottish General Assembly (from 1646-1650)
This is the Psalter (less Brown's notes, which
were added later) mandated, approved and used (for public and private
worship) by the Westminster Assembly and all those
who covenanted to uphold the Biblical Reformation that these Divines proclaimed. The text of the Scottish
Metrical Psalms
was authorized by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1650. The
notes added by Brown are suitable for explaining the Psalm before singing and
are a great aid to understanding and worship (whether public, family or
private). Every song leader (especially fathers for
family worship) should have a copy of this edition of the Scottish Psalter with
Brown's notes. If money is a factor, the smaller, inexpensive hardcover,
containing just the Psalms (see below) should suffice for other members of the
family–or the father (or other song leaders) can simply line out the
Psalms (as Moses, David, the Apostles, etc. did). All
the Psalms, excepting one, are rendered into common metre (with some alternate
versions added) and thus can be sung by even those with almost no knowledge of
music. For example, the tune to "Amazing Grace" is one of
the many tunes that fits with all common metre renderings. And even Psalm 136,
the one Psalm not in common metre, can be sung to any common metre tune, as it
adds only one extra syllable to the end of every second line. Maybe not the
delight of the accomplished musician, but certainly calculated to make the
Psalms easily accessible to young and old alike (an attainment surely pleasing
to the Lord Jesus Christ) – as this Psalter was purposely produced to
foster international (and covenanted) Reformation. The Scottish
Metrical Psalter
is a faithful translation and without a doubt
remains the best Psalter in existence today. We have added (at no
extra cost to our customers) a copy of the Westminster
Shorter Catechism to this printing. This
has been done to assist parents in catechizing their children during family
worship. Also included in this edition (from the original publisher) is
"A Table of the Psalms Classed Under Several Subject Heads" and an
"Alphabetical Index of the First Line of Each Stanza." These sections
comprise 48 pages of small print alone, while the complete book (not including
the Shorter Catechism we've added) is made up of 424 pages. This is a primary
source document of Reformation; not to be missed by those serious about the
Reformed faith – and worshipping God in spirit and in truth. There are few things in life as pleasing and enjoyable as
communing with Christ through the singing of His Psalms!

THE DOHMS FAMILY
50 Suggested Tunes for Use
With the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650 (1998)
This tape was produced by Elder Lyndon Dohms and
his family to help those using or making the transition to the Psalter of
the Covenanted Reformation (i.e. the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650). This Psalter
passed through the intense scrutiny of – and was authorized for public
use by – both the Westminster Assembly and the General Assembly of the
Church of Scotland (at the height of her purity) in the mid seventeenth
century. Concerning the care and preparation that went into this unsurpassed
Metrical Psalter, the January 15 (1993) issue of The Original Covenanter and
Contending Witness
magazine cites an earlier article which notes,
"Rouse
bestowed upon it his greatest pains. This was not enough. For six Years it
endured the scrutiny of, and was revised by, two of the most learned
Assemblies that ever sat in the British Isles; at a time, too, when these men were zealous for truth and
suspicious of error. Every word was weighed, and every expression made exact,
before admitted into any statement of Biblical truth. They wrote not so that
they might be understood, but so that they could not be misunderstood. This
exactness and conscientiousness they carried with them in their translation of
the Psalms. In versifying them, they labored not to clothe the mind of
the Spirit in poetic finery, but to cause the muse to bow to the exact
expression of the Holy Ghost.... For more than two centuries (almost
three and a half centuries now–RB) they have stood the test, and every
attempt to render them more elegant has resulted in a departure from the exact
expression of the Spirit (as in the case of the present RPCNA Psalter, The
Book of Psalms for Singing–RB).
Let us hold fast to this good old version until another proves itself worthy of
its place."
Moreover, this Psalter was produced to
further national and international covenanted Reformation – and to
fulfill the intent of the Solemn League and Covenant for biblically regulated
worship and biblical uniformity. It was crafted with faithfulness to the Word
of God utmost in the mind of its translators and fashioned in the manner most
fitting for ease of use among the general population – making it a most
conducive engine for discipling the nations.
As an added bonus, at the end of this tape,
Psalm one is also "lined out" (as mandated in the Westminster
Assembly's Directory for Public Worship), with a short explanation provided by
elder Dohms for the use of this ancient practice. The "lining out" is
included to assist those seeking to utilize the venerable practice of the
church as it was upheld during Old Testament times, the days of Christ and the
Apostles, and during both Reformations.
In short, this cassette is
provided as a valuable tool for those who love to sing God's holy Word, as a
useful aid for song leaders (and singers) in preparing for public, family and secret
worship, and for the listening pleasure and edification of all those who love
to hide God's Word in their heart!

Resource 9. 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."
Contains much that is related to worship questions and the blessings that
God pours out upon Churches that keep the second commandment – as well
as the curses that follow those who reject the regulative principle of worhsip.

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 'the 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 -- 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 edited down 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

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

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.

can't turn a frog into a prince, yet evolutionists claim that ancestral amphibians
did change into people just by chance and natural selection. But such major
biological change needs new information: where could it come from? At Oxford
University, a prominent defender of Darwinian evolution, Dr. Richard Dawkins,
says the selective accumulation of lucky mutations can explain it. This view is
challenged by biophysicist Dr. Lee Spetner in Israel, and by molecular
biologist Dr. Michael Denton in New Zealand. Dr. Michael Gitt, and information
scientist, explains that evolutionary process cannot produce new information. And in Australia,
biologist Dr. Don Batten shows there are clear limits to biological change;
frogs will always breed frogs" (from outside video case). A colorful, professionally produced video.

Family Religion, or the
Domestic Relations as Regulated by Christian Principles (1859)
Smith's family was greatly influenced by Samuel Davies. Smith himself was a friend of R.L.
Dabney.
As the editor notes, the importance of this book is seen in the fact that
"[r]eform of the family would soon diffuse itself throughout the whole
constitution of society, a higher tone of morals would be inspired, and not
only would the moral influence of the church be enlarged, but the stability and
security of the state would be perpetuated." Or as the "Directory for
Family Worship," appended to the Westminster Confession, so wisely points
out, "[b]esides the public worship in
congregations, mercifully established in this land in great purity, it is expedient
and necessary that secret worship of each person alone, and private worship of
families, be pressed and set up; that, with national reformation, the
profession and power of godliness, both personal and domestic, be advanced."
This was a prize winning essay, covering, in depth, the family and its duties.

JAMES
Purity of Worship in the
Presbyterian Church, as Set Forth in the Westminster Standards, &
Illustrated by Our History Since the Reformation (1876)
"These questions (concerning the regulative
principle–RB) go to the very root of the
Presbyterian system of worship, as one that can be practically defended
and maintained, and they have a most important bearing on the future of
Scotland and of the Presbyterian Church throughout the world. If the principles of Presbyterian worship, as asserted by
John Knox and by the Westminster Divines, are to be abandoned, either in theory
or in practice, there are no principles of Presbyterian worship at all, and it
is difficult to see what the end must be. The matter, therefore, is
well worthy of the immediate and earnest consideration of Christian and
patriotic men," writes Begg. This book helps illustrate the almost
complete defection of modern Presbyterians from classic Presbyterian worship
– as set forth in the Westminster standards. Notwithstanding the
book's many merits, one major drawback should be noted. Begg (as a Free Church
of Scotland minister) speaks far too uncritically of the Revolution settlement
of Presbyterianism in Scotland and the constitutionally defective acts of the
churches that have sprouted from that bad (constitutional) tree. The Revolution
settlement was clearly an unsound, covenant breaking, substandard return to
"Presbyterianism" – something most Free Church ministers are
not aware of. Nevertheless, Begg's citations concerning this period illustrate
that even Revolution Presbyterian worship (and what followed it for some years)
was far more faithful to the original Presbyterian vision for public worship
(i.e. the vision of Calvin, Knox and the Covenanters at Westminster) than most
Presbyterians today can even image – the modern defection having become
encrusted and solidified in its hardness by repeated and aggravated disregard
(over many years) for the moral duties contained in the second commandment. 103 pages.

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 -- 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).

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

Resource 19. 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.
