"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

Resource 1.
ELLIOTT, E.B.
Horae Apocalypticae; or, A Commentary
on the Apocalypse, Critical and Historical; Including Also An Examination of
the Chief Prophecies of Daniel (1862)
The title
continues: "Illustrated by an Apocalyptic Chart, and Engravings from
Medals and Other Extant Monuments of Antiquity. With Appendices: Containing,
Besides Other matters, A Sketch of the History of Apocalyptic Interpretation,
Critical Reviews of the Chief Apocalyptic Counter-Schemes, and Indices."
This four volume set is respected by many as a scholarly work on eschatology. It
will be especially valuable in our day as it absolutely destroys the Jesuit
inspired preterist system by conclusively proving a late date for the writing
of the book of Revelation. Elliott also demonstrates
the impossibility of the futurist system, which, like preterism, was also
concocted (as a system) by the Jesuits to counteract the classic Reformation
eschatology called historicism. That this is no small issue is clear, as Kevin
Reed exhibits (in his book review titled "The Ecclesiology of John Foxe: A
book review by Kevin Reed of John Foxe and the Elizabethan Church by V. Norskov Olsen
[Berkeley: University of California Press, 1973]") by citing Olsen when he
writes,
The Counter Reformation is generally considered to have three
aspects: the Jesuits, the Inquisition, and the Council of Trent. In view of the
significance of the Protestant apocalyptic interpretation of history which
prophetically pinpointed step by step the events covering the whole Christian
era from the beginning to the end, it seems justifiable to suggest a fourth
aspect, namely the praeteristic and futuristic interpretations launched by
Catholic expositors as a counterattack (p. 47).
All
the major Reformers and all the major Reformation creeds and confessions
adopted the historicist position -- and it is this position that Elliott so
skillfully defends.
Included in Horae Apocalypticae you will also find a very useful historical
survey of who held which positions concerning eschatology, much history on the
Roman empire (and its interaction with Christianity), how
the Reformation, Islam, etc. were prophesied in the Apocalypse, a
world chronology according to the Hebrew Scriptures (which would make the Earth
6127 years old), patristic views of prophecy, the beast and his mark (666) revealed,
and much more. The Papacy is also shown to be the
apocalyptic antichrist, which was a standard position among the Reformers.
Elliott also deals with Moses Stuart's Preterism.
Sadly, one major warning needs to be given about this book.
However valuable the contents are as a defense of historicism (and the late
date of the book of Revelation), the author adopted the premillennial heresy
and thus marred an otherwise useful work when he promotes these views. 2611
pages, with a 29 page index.

Resource 2. OWEN,
JOHN
A Discourse Concerning
Liturgies and their Imposition
First published anonymously in 1662, this
edition is from the mid nineteenth-century printing. This discourse by John
Owen contains the judgement of our author in regard
to measures which gave rise to the most important events in the ecclesiastical
history of England. Owen argues against the liturgy, the
imposition of which caused (to the astonishment of the Prelatical hierarchy)
nearly two thousand Puritan ministers of the Church of England to resign from
their pulpits -- rather than sacrifice a clear conscience concerning the
commanded worship of God. These men sacrificed their
livelihood, families, and even their own lives rather than offend God by
practising the false worship propagated by the idolatrous prelates of their
day. In conjunction with this, Girardeau, in his Instrumental
Music in the Public Worship of the Church (pp. 24-25) notes, "The words of the great theologian, John Owen 'and the
British Isles have produced no greater' are solemn and deserve to be seriously
pondered: 'The principle that the church hath power to institute any thing or
ceremony belonging to the worship of God, either as to matter or manner, beyond
the observance of such circumstances as necessarily attend such ordinances as
Christ Himself hath instituted, lies at the bottom of all the horrible
superstition and idolatry, of all the confusion, blood, persecution, and wars,
that have for so long a season spread themselves over the face of the Christian
world.'" Worship is a life and death matter -- eternal life and
eternal death, and the regulative principle of worship (as it is based on the
second commandment) is ultimately at the heart of any biblically faithful
discussion of the questions Owen deals with here. Bannerman concurs (in his two
volume set The Church of Christ), when he summarizes this book by Owen as "giving the Scriptural argument against the imposition
of liturgies as well as of other humanely devised elements in Divine worship, with great clearness and force" (p.
435). Furthermore, the Westminster Theological Journal (55, 1993, p. 322, 3n)
notes, "Owen discusses the true nature of NT
worship, especially focusing on the challenge made to it by the Church of
England. His discourse regarding the imposition of liturgies is one of the most
thorough and forceful arguments for the regulative principle of worship as the
only principle which safely guards the Christian conscience from the abuse of
church power."All this shows that Owen clearly understood that
the regulative principle of worship (sometimes called the Scriptural law of
worship) was foundational to all true Reformation. Anyone
who publicly opposes the regulative principle of worship is not only an
idolater and deceiver, but has also put his eternal soul in danger. Furthermore,
Scripture and history clearly demonstrate that Satan always fights with all his
might to overthrow this foundational biblical truth concerning worship. 55
pages.

Resource 3. 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 respected member of the Westminster Assembly and one of its most active
members. Some of his enemies vilified him as an "Arch Puritan."
"At the end of his life, in 1653, he was completing a massive commentary
on Hebrews, having finished all but the last half-chapter (representing nearly
a thousand sermons preached at his church), when he passed cheerfully and
quietly to his Lord. (Thomas Gouge completed the last half chapter of the
Hebrews commentary using his father's notes--RB)... Through
his long life Gouge was a leader of the Puritan clergy in London. Along with
Richard Sibbs in 1626 he had led in raising funds and buying up impropriations
in order to support Puritan lectureships. Toward the conclusion of the
Westminster Assembly, he was a leader in establishing a Presbytery in London.
On May 3, 1647 he was chosen Prolocutor at the first meeting of the
Presbyterian provincial assembly of London. In 1649 he served as President of
Sion College. His family represented a Puritan legacy unto the third and fourth
generation... His eldest son, Thomas, (1609-1681), became a minister in London,
was ejected in 1662, and eventually established Nonconformist schools in Wales,"
writes Barker (Puritan Profiles, pp. 37-38). James Begg and William Goold were
on the "Council of Publication" for this edition of Gouge's
commentary on Hebrews. Indexed, 1184 pages.

WILLIAM G.T.
A History of Christian
Doctrine
(2 Vol., 1865)
Long out of print and still much sought after.
Over 900 pages, Shedd notes that his work "pays more attention to the
orthodox than to the latitudinarian drift of thought." Also that
"[i]t is impossible for any one author to compose an encyclopaedic
history. Every work of this kind must be stronger in some directions, than in
others." With this in mind he continues, writing,
"I have felt a profound interest in the Nicene Trinitarianism, the
Augustinian anthropology, and the Anselmic soteriology, and from these centres
have taken my departures." Major
sections deal with the history of philosophy, apologetics, Trinitarianism,
Christology, anthropology, soteriology, eschatology and symbols (i.e
confessions: including those from the Lutheran, Reformed, Papal, Greek,
Arminian and Socinian systems of thought). A very important set
of books!

Resource 5. CALVIN,
JOHN
Necessity of Reforming the
Church
(1544)
C.H. Spurgeon once said,
"[t]he longer I live the clearer does it appear that John Calvin's system
is the nearest to perfection." (cited in Christian History magazine, Vol. 5, No.
4). Credenda Agenda reviewed this book stating, "...the relevance of
Calvin's book today is exceptional. Apart from the grace of God, the human heart never
changes. Men have always loved external religion, and unless God saves them,
they always will. But God demands heart religion... His writing is relevant
because the church today is in dire need of a similar reformation and revival.
Like Calvin, some few believers today see 'the present condition of the
Church... to be very miserable, and almost desperate.' Our context is different
in one key respect however. The church needing reformation in Calvin's day was
the tradition-encrusted church of Rome. Shortly after the Reformation, for
those leaving Rome behind, two streams became apparent. One was the stream of
classical Protestant orthodoxy, represented today by a handful of Gideons in
their desktop publishing winevats. The other was the left wing of the
Reformation -- the anabaptist movement. In the early years, the anabaptists
were suffering outsiders. But today the anabaptist church is the Establishment
-- an establishment governed by a chaos of traditions instead of biblical
worship. Everywhere we look we see Christians
approaching God with observances in worship which Calvin calls 'the random
offspring of their own brain' (which was Calvin's way of rebuking those who
reject the regulative principle of worship; which ironically, the writers of
this very statement [Credenda Agenda]
do--RB)." Though this work is not an elaborate systematic
presentation of the foundations of Christianity, such as Calvin's Institutes, it has still been correctly acknowledged as one of the
most important documents of the Reformation. Calvin here pleads the cause dearest to his heart before an assembly
perhaps the most august that Europe could have furnished in that day. It has
been said that the animated style used by Calvin in this work would not lose by
comparison with any thing in the celebrated "Dedication" prefixed to
his Institutes. To
this day, The Necessity of Reforming the Church remains a powerful
weapon, both defensive and offensive, to fight the contemporary battle for true
doctrine, faithful (or biblically regulated) worship and Scriptural church
government. Here, in one of Calvin's classic works, we find the answers to many
of the vexing questions which continue to agitate the Church in our day -- over
four and a half centuries after this great Reformer first penned these words.

CALVIN ON
SEPARATION FROM FALSE WORSHIP (i.e. worship not based
on the second commandment or what is now called the regulative
principle of worship) AND WORSHIPPING
PRIVATELY (IN YOUR HOME)
"Some one will therefore ask me what
counsel I would like to give to a believer who thus dwells in some Egypt or
Babylon where he may not worship God purely, but is forced by the common practice
to accommodate himself to bad things. The first
advice would be to leave [i.e. relocate--GB] if he could. . . . If
someone has no way to depart, I would counsel him to consider whether it would
be possible for him to abstain from all idolatry in order to preserve himself
pure and spotless toward God in both body and soul. ***Then
let him worship God in private*** (in his home--RB), praying him to
restore his poor church to its right estate (John Calvin, Come Out From
Among Them, The Anti-Nicodemite Writings of John Calvin, a forthcoming book to
be published by Protestant Heritage Press, "A Short Teatise," pp.
93-94, emphases added).
Calvin quote (above) cited in: Appendix G in The Covenanted Reformation Defended
by Greg Barrow (http://www.swrb.com/newslett/actualnls/append_g.htm), "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 Kevin Reed in his book entitled The
Visible Church in the Outer Darkness."
Romans 16:17 is
also very clear on this point:
"Now I beseech you, brethren,
mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the (Apostolic--RB) doctrine
which ye have learned; and avoid them."
Resource 6. 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). Especially strong on 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. It 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".

the great influence this book had on the thinking of the founding fathers of

SYMINGTON, WILLIAM
Messiah the Prince or, the
Mediatorial Dominion of Jesus Christ (1884)
"Symington's is just a classic,"
writes Andrew Sandlin, editor of the Chalcedon Report. It is the standard work on the kingdom of God in English! There is
nothing else like it; it is one-of-a kind! It covers the necessity, reality,
and qualifications of Christ's dominion over not only the church, but all
nations too. Anything less than the full
recognition of Christ's Kingship is to rob the Lord of His magnificent,
majestic, mediatorial glory -- for He is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
"While books on the priestly work of the Redeemer, and especially on the
Atonement, are numerous," notes the introduction to the American edition,
"no formal and exhaustive discussion of the kingly office of the
Messiah... and its application to various classes of moral agents is elsewhere
to be found... It is cause for satisfaction that the only treatise, as yet,
upon this subject, is a work of signal ability, lucid in arrangement, reverent
in spirit, and with hardly an exception, sound and judicious in its conclusion. Its very merits are probably, in part, the reason why
no other work on the same subject has appeared, and until it is supplanted by a
better work -- an event not likely soon to occur -- it will have a value
peculiar to itself."
