REFORMED,COVENATER, AND PURITAN
BOOK SET SALE
Get books into your houses, when you have not the
spring near you, then get some water into your cisterns; so when you have not
that wholesome preaching that you desire, good
books are cisterns that hold the water of life in them to refresh
you; so, when you find a chillness upon your souls, and that your former heat
begins to abate, ply yourselves with warm clothes, get
those good books that may acquaint you with such truths as may warm and affect
your hearts.
by Thomas Watson (English
Covenanted Presbyterian, 1633-1686)
"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"

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 [$US19.99 P; $US29.00 HP], 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. A very rare set, now back in print after 150 years!

WITSIUS, HERMAN
The Economy of the Covenants
Between God and Man Comprehending a Complete Body of Divinity (1822,
2 volumes)
"The sale of Witsius' Economy of the
Covenants,
increases among my friends. The translation is very just, and the excellency of
the work merits a place in every Christian's library; I shall do my utmost to
recommend it at all times, and on all proper occasions. No pious person on
earth can forbear reading the 3d book without wonder, rapture, and devotion. It
exceeds all commendation: Hervey might well say, "I would not scruple to
risk all my reputation upon the merits of this performance." For my own part,
I am not ashamed, nor afraid of any scorn and ridicule, that may be poured on
me from any quarter, whilst I constantly aver, that the
work has not its equal in the world" (Extract of a Letter to the
Publisher). "Herman Witsius (1636-1708) was
one of the most notable Dutch theologians of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. His influence theologically was
felt both at home and abroad. Witsius also excelled as a friend and supporter
of the cause of the downtrodden and persecuted Covenanters (as represented by
Cameron, Cargill, and Renwick). He was particularly instrumental in the
ordination of Mr. James Renwick who was ordained by the Classis of Groningen"

Resource 4. GOUGE,
WILLIAM
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's son, Thomas
(himself a Fellow at King's College, Cambridge), writes in the "Epistle to
the Reader," "that there is scare a point in divinity which he (i.e.
his father William--RB) handled upon any portion of Scripture in the whole
course of his ministry, but he hath brought the substance of it into this
Commentary... wherein I conceive, thou mayest find as many points of divinity,
cases of conscience and controversies, fully, clearly, though succinctly
handled, as in any commentary whatsoever yet extant... At the end of this
Commentary, besides a large English table of all the material points treated of
by the author, I have added an Alphabetical Index of above seven hundred Greek
words, which thou mayest find learnedly and dexterously explicated, either by
their etymologies, synonymas, or various acceptations (if they be polysemata),
or if not, yet thou hast the clearest and most familiar explication that each
word is capable of. For it was on part of the author's excellency, that
constantly in the course of his ministry he did endeavour to instill into the
heads of his auditors (listeners--RB) the fullest sense of the Spirit in a
familiar way, though veiled under many significant, simple, compound, or
decomposite notions. Such was his depth of judgment, that after he had
conferred place with place, he could suddenly methodise the different senses,
and give forth the quintessence of all his collations, so as the meanest
capacity might be edified by him... The author's sole aim in all his ministry being
the same with Augustine and in his Commentary like that of Jerome, to hold out
clearly the meaning of the Spirit, and not his own fancies and conceits." Gouge was a leader among the Covenanted English
Presbyterians, a respected member of the Westminster Assembly and one of its
most active members. Some of his enemies vilified him as an "Arch
Puritan." 1162 pages of the cream of Puritan-style
commentating.

Six Saints of the Covenant (2
volumes, 1901)
Covers the lives of Peden, Semple, Welwood,
Cameron, Cargill and Smith. These two volumes are edited with illustrative
documents, introduction, notes, and a glossary by David Hay Fleming. 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 the 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." 629 pages, indexed.

RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL
A Survey of the Spiritual
Antichrist (1648)
The subtitle reads: "Opening the Secrets of Familisme and Antinomianism in the
Antichristian Doctrine of John Saltmarth, and William Del, the present
Preachers of the Army (headed by Oliver Cromwell--RB) now in England, and of
Robert Town, Tobiah Crisp, H. Denne, Eaton and others. In which is revealed the
rise and spring of Antinomianism, Familists, Libertines, Swench-feldians,
Enthysiasts, etc. The minde of Luther a most professed opposer of
Antinomianism, is cleared, and diverse considerable points of the Law and the
Gospel, of the Spirit and the Letter, of the two Covenants, of the nature of
free grace, exercise under temptations, mortification, justification, sanctification,
are discovered. In Two parts." Also contains Rutherford's
"A brotherly and free Epistle to the patrons and friends of pretended
Liberty of Conscience." Putting this work into its context, James Clark,
in The Life and Works of Samuel Rutherford (in the chapter titled
"Antinomianism") writes, "This is another main controversy into
which Samuel Rutherford entered. The term 'Antinomian" signifies one who
is 'against God's Law'. The Antinomians were a major sect in the 1640's. They
denounced as 'Legalists' the Christians who, like Paul, 'serve the law of God'
(Rom. 7:25). They asserted that grace removes the Law out of the Christian's
life, as absolutely as it does out of his salvation. This dangerous heresy,
which is still popular, makes it no fault to disobey God's Moral Law, and turn
grace into wantonness. Rutherford mentioned this heresy in several of his works
before publishing in 1648 his SURVEY OF THE SPIRITUAL ANTICHRIST, written specifically against the Antinomians. The
subtlety of Antinomians is that they oppose the use of the Law as a positive
standard for holy living in the name of the Gospel! The Apostle Paul
repudiated this error in Rom. 3:31; 6:1,2; Gal. 5:13" (p. 52). This book
contains over 600 pages.

Resource 7. 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 included in this

Resource 8. 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.

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.

Presbytery called Durham's Complete Commentary... On the Book of Revelation [$39.98, 2 vol. rare
bound photocopy], "the best exposition of that book that has yet been
published"
(p. 61n). Had they had the privilege of reading Steele's Notes on the
Apocalypse
we are quite certain that they would have given it a similar endorsement.
Though written in a different style than Durham's work, Steele's notes on
Revelation may be even more valuable in many respects -- Steele having taken a
more decided position "in the wilderness." Steele
also had the benefit of many more resources, having written over two centuries
later. Steele's aim in writing this book is made clear in his own words
taken from the preface,
As this work is intended for the instruction and
edification of the unlearned, rather than for the entertainment of the learned,
words of foreign extract are used as seldom as possible. Practical remarks and
reflections are rarely introduced; the principal aim being simply to
ascertain and present to the reader the mind of the Holy Spirit. How far this object
has been accomplished, is of course left to the judgment of the honest
inquirer. The reader, however, in forming his judgment of the value of these
Notes, may be reminded of that inspired rule in searching the
Scriptures,--"Comparing spiritual things with spiritual." To assist
him in the application of this divine rule, many chapters and verses are quoted
from other parts of the Bible, but especially within the Apocalypse itself;
that by concentrating the various rays upon particular texts or symbols, their
intrinsic light may be rendered more luminous. Thus the interpretation given,
if correct, may be confirmed and illustrated.
Appendices include a section on, The New Jerusalem, The Antichrist, The Image of the Beast,
The Beast's "deadly wound," The Little Book, The Death of the Witnesses,
The Mark of the Beast, The First Resurrection, The Identity of the Two
Witnesses, Sounding of the Seventh Trumpet and The Title of this Book (i.e. the
Book of Revelation--RB). This work also includes various
"animadversions on the interpretations (of Revelation--RB) of several
among the most learned and approved expositors of Britain and America."
Comments on this work include the four given
below, all which were given without the solicitation or knowledge of the
author. The Evangelical Repository notes, "the author adduces a greater
number of Scriptural illustrations than any other writer on prophecy we ever
met with."
Hutcheson writes, "I can recommend it to any person as condensing the
best thoughts to be had on the subject." Brooks says, "I have derived
more knowledge of the Apocalypse from this work than from all other expositions
which I have consulted." And finally, John Cunningham comments, "It
is neither a dictionary nor concordance; neither a confession of faith, nor an
encyclopedia, but a thesaurus of Theology, embodying the characters of all
these."
Steele dedicated this work to John Cunningham, author of The Ordinance of
Covenanting
($14.99 P, $29.00 HP). 323 pages.

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."

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.

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

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
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!

Closing up the labors of forty years of theological research and meditation, Shedd

thought. Drawing heavily from citations in works of the Ancient, Mediaeval and
Reformation periods, and from the English and Continental divines of the 16th

doctrine of God, Anthropology, Christology, and Eschatology. Also contains a very

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).

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

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.

CALDERWOOD, DAVID
The History of the Kirk of
Scotland
(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!

SHIELDS, ALEXANDER
A Hind Let Loose or
An Historical Representation of the Testimonies of the Church of Scotland for
the Interest of Christ with the True State thereof in all its Periods. Together
with a Vindication of the Present Testimony Against Popish, Prelatical, and
Malignant Enemies of that Church, as it is now Stated, for the Prerogatives of
Christ, Privileges of the Church, and Liberties of Mankind; and Sealed by the
Sufferings of a Reproached Remnant of Presbyterians there, Witnessing Against
the Corruptions of the Time: Wherein Several Controversies of Greatest
Consequence are Enquired into, and in Some Measure Cleared; Concerning Hearing
of the Curates, Owning of the Present Tyranny, Taking of Ensnaring Oaths and
Bonds, Frequenting of Field-Meetings, Defensive Resistance of Tyrannical
Violence, with Several Other Subordinate Questions Useful for these Times (1687,
1797 edition)
First printed in 1687, we have used the 1797
edition for this rare bound photocopy edition because all of the Latin has been
translated into English (an major improvement for English readers). This rare Covenanter classic, concerning Calvinistic
political philosophy and tactics of civil resistance, is comparable to Samuel
Rutherford's Lex, Rex; in fact it could
rightly be referred to as "Lex Rex volume two." It is solidly
in the line of John Knox's teachings on civil disobedience and addresses numerous
topics that are relevant to today's Christian. "In A Hind Let Loose,
Shields justified the Camerionian resistance to royal absolutism and the divine
right of kings. He argued that government is divinely ordained, but the people
are entitled to bring a king to judgement for wrongdoing. Parliament is
commissioned by the people to oversee the nation's affairs, but the compact
between the people and their rulers does not entail a forfeiture of the
people's power to depose tyrants and confer authority on someone else.
Government is by consent, and must justify itself to the consciences of the
people. God has given men the right of self defence, and this extends to a a
right not only passively to resist, but also to kill relentless
persecutors" writes Isbell (in the Dictionary of Scottish Church
History and Theology,
p. 773). Controversial chapter titles include:
"Concerning Owning of Tyrants Authority;" "Defensive Arms
Vindicated;" "Of Extraordinary Execution of Judgement by Private
Men;" and "Refusing to Pay Wicked Taxation Vindicated." This
book sets forth the Crown rights of King Jesus, against all usurpers in both
church and state, giving a history of some of faithful sufferings endured by
the elect, in maintaining this truth. It bears testimony against "the
popish, prelatical and malignant enemies" of Christ and proclaims the only
true basis of liberty for mankind. "The matter is argued with a vast
abundance of Biblical illustration, and with much reference to Reformation and
Puritan divines. It should be consulted, if
practicable, by all who wish fully to understand the inner spirit of the
Covenanting Movement," writes Purves in Fair Sunshine (p. 202). Isbell
interestingly notes that Shields was once "amanuensis to the English
Puritan John Owen." Over 750 pages, this very rare item sells for from $250-$800
on the rare book market. Now you can have it for much, much less!

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 [3 volume Hardcover
photocopy OUT OF PRINT $US119.00; 3 vol. cerlox bound photocopy $US74.98). 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'"

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 the Lord's's Wrath
was written anonymously (James Guthrie was the reputed author), and was at one
time burnt along with Lex, Rex.

"All worshipping, honouring, or service

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 full, unedited version of Knox's massive History of the
Reformation in Scotland available today.

JAMES W.
BAPTIZO (in the
4 volumes listed below)
Jerry Smith says that these volumes are
"calculated to utterly shatter the widespread unfounded contemporary
mythology surrounding the meaning and usage of the original Greek words
underlying our English word baptism. Dale's original five volumes (bound in
four) constitute the most massive, thorough, accurate, and authoritative
study ever made of this word, examining all the known occurrences of baptizo. Absolutely a must
reading on this controversial subject! Dale write in a clear and refreshingly irenic spirit... which will delight and
inform scholar, student, and layman alike." Dale spent twenty years
writing this study concerning the meaning and mode of baptism. He interacts with all
the relevant literature on the subject up to his time, the first volume
appearing in 1867 and the last in 1874. J.H. Thayer in
his entry in his Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament (Zondervan, 1962),
says of this study: "If I were to utter my first impression, I should
break out in unfeigned admiration." Moreover, Thayer noted,
concerning Classic Baptism, that "the theory that Baptizo expresses a
definite act, 'mode and nothing but mode,' is shown to be pitiably helpless
when applied to 'all the Greek literature.'" Dale definitely has had the
last word on this subject thus far in history. You can save yourself a lot
of time and trouble regarding Baptism and its meaning by picking up these
unrivalled volumes.

WATSON, THOMAS
The Doctrine of Repentance
"Knowing what repentance is, and actually repenting
are essential to true Christianity. Jesus Christ himself said that if we do not
repent, we will perish! It is vital, therefore, to read and study what
Scripture has to say about this theme. Few better guides have existed in
this or any other area of spiritual experience than Thomas Watson. He was a master of
both Scripture and the human heart, and wrote with a simplicity and directness
that keeps his work fresh and powerful for the twentieth century. Another

Biological Evidence of
Creation "From a Frog to a Prince" (1998)
"Compelling new evidence that life on
earth could not have been created by random forces... A kiss from a princess
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.

BEHE, MICHAEL J.
Darwin's Black Box: The
Biochemical Challenge to Evolution (1996)
Berlinski writes of this work, "Mike
Behe... makes an overwhelming case against Darwin on the biochemical level. No
one has done this before. It is an argument of great originality, elegance, and
intellectual power.
For readers who have been persuaded that biologists have long since
demonstrated the validity of Darwinian theory, [Behe's] observations are apt to
be a source of astonishment" (back cover). Though quite technical at
times, this book is purposely written with the non-scientist in mind. It is
also filled with a number of diagrams which are aimed at helping the reader
grasp the astounding complexity, interrelatedness and beauty of God's creation.
In short, it is a crushing blow to the demonically
inspired myth of evolution! It may well be unanswerable. 307 pages.

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, regarding both content and durability, that we have found.
