I want you to know that I have enjoyed my Puritan Hard Drive immensely.
I simply could not have imagined such a resource before getting my hands on it!
To have that much information from a consistent, biblical, orthodox, and gospel-centered point of view is simply astonishing.
Anyone who admires the Puritans simply must have the Puritan Hard Drive.
From Pastors to Ph.D. candidates, there is simply nothing else out there that puts so much at your fingertips.
What an amazing tool for pastors... thank you for your work.
Soli Deo Gloria!

"I
have been systematically working through reading the Puritan and Reformed CDs I
purchased.
I must say, there is nothing like them

It is the most amazing collection of works I
know of in one package to date.
In
my opinion, it far surpasses Ages Software and their collections.*
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)."

* 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

invaluable as a tool of scholarship. So once again I commend you brothers for making
it available."

"It's

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."

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."

draws sinners into its web -- and how Protestants can counteract this movement.
Deals with numerous areas of life and thought, including the education of
youth, marriage, the inspiration of Scripture, politics, etc.

Biographical Sketch of R.L.
Dabney
B.B. 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, and for a period of over
forty years one of the most distinguished and probably the most impressive
teacher of its candidates for the ministry." An old school Presbyterian,
Dabney served as chief of staff to General "Stonewall" Jackson.
Heavily influenced by Francis Turretin and John Dick, he was born in 1820 and
died in 1898.

Dabney's Review of
Girardeau's Instrumental Music in Public Worship (1889)
In this review Dabney writes, "Dr. Girardeau has defended the old usage of
our church with a moral courage, loyalty to truth, clearness of reasoning and
wealth of learning which should make every true Presbyterian proud of him,
whether he adopts his conclusions or not. The framework of his argument is this:
it begins with that vital truth which no Presbyterian can discard without a
square desertion of our principles. The man who contests this first premise had
better set out at once for Rome: God is to be worshipped only in the ways
appointed in His Word. Every act of public cultus not positively enjoined by
Him is thereby forbidden. Christ and His apostles ordained the musical worship
of the New Dispensation without any sort of musical instrument, enjoining only
the singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Hence such instruments are
excluded from Christian worship. Such has been the creed of all churches, and
in all ages, except for the Popish communion after it had reached the nadir of
its corruption at the end of the thirteenth century, and of its prelatic
imitators." Excerpted from The Presbyterian Quarterly (July, 1889, no. 9).

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

Hodge's Systematic Theology
A contemporary of Hodge, Dabney here kindly acknowledges Dr. Hodge's strengths and
"general orthodoxy," but does not hold back from forcefully exposing
what he considers Hodge's errors and weaknesses. Hodge's Systematic Theology
remains a major work today and his views continue to hold sway among many,
making this review of Dabney's all the more pertinent and important.

Lectures in Systematic
Theology
For the preparation of this volume, Dabney, who A.A. Hodge called "the
best teacher of theology in the United States," was well suited.
"While this exposition and vindication of creedal Christianity is akin to
that of other reformed authors he has a literary force and an ability to
stimulate thought which is distinctive. In his concern to see the truth understood
and lived, in his wrestling with hard points and his mastery of detail, Dabney
is second to none... Comparing Dabney's work to that of Charles Hodge, Dr.
Morton H. Smith has written: 'Hodge gives an excellent, general statement of
the Reformed Faith, yet Dabney adds something beyond the general treatment of
most subjects. When his method of teaching is recalled, of sending his students
to the standard texts on theology (including Hodge), and then adding his own
observation on each doctrine in the class from which his Theology was derived,
it is to be expected that this work would have a certain freshness to it, and
this is just what is found'" (dust jacket).

The Moral Effects of a Free
Justification
The Publisher's Preface to Dabney's Discussions notes that "[m]uch of
Dabney's most valuable and influential literary work first appeared in the form
of separate articles, reviews and sermons printed in various journals."
This article certainly fits the above bill, first appearing in The Southern
Review of April, 1873; being, in part, a review of the Journal and Works of the
Rev. John Wesley. Luther once said that "if the article of justification
is lost, all Christian doctrine is lost at the same time." Thus, one can
hardly think of a subject of greater practical importance. Errors regarding
justification have led whole nations into the darkness and superstition of
Popery, and untold millions of souls into eternal perdition. Dabney here deals
with the false charge of antinomianism sometimes brought against this doctrine
by Romanists and legalists, in their hope of destroying the foundation of true
Christianity. He cites some practical errors by Luther, concerning Luther's
views on sanctification and the law of God, and concludes by proving "that
this doctrine is the best, yea, the only adequate enforcement of true
holiness."

On Dangerous Reading
Dabney says "that under the name of dangerous books," he "means
now to attack particularly the usual kinds of fictitious narratives, novels,
impure sentimental poetry, and biographies, whether accurate or not, of criminal
and degraded characters." He also notes that "[n]ovel reading is the
murder of time," and on that basis alone should be rejected in favor of
wholesome and edifying literature. Many of the principles set forth in this
book can easily be applied to other forms of recreation and amusement --
television, movies, music and radio being the most obvious.

Parental Responsibilities
(1879)
Another important Dabney masterpiece not to be overlooked. Lasting revival and
reformation comes only when Christian parents take their duty as stewards of
God's covenant children seriously. Great encouragement here for parents who
seek to please the LORD. In his day, Archibald Alexander called Dabney
"the best teacher of theology in the United States, if not in the
world." T.C. Johnson, who issued The Life and Letters of Robert Lewis
Dabney in 1903, went further and regarded him as entitled "to the first
place among the theological thinkers and writers of his century."

The Public Preaching of Women
Though written in 1879, this piece still remains one of the best shorter
treatments of a matter which is once again receiving much attention in our day.
"This common movement for 'women's rights,' and women's preaching, must be
regarded, then, as simply infidel. It cannot be candidly upheld without
attacking the inspiration and authority of the Scriptures," proclaims
Dabney in prophetic style. Also includes B.B. Warfield's article "Paul on
Women Speaking in Church." In the Publisher's preface to Dabney's Discussions
it is noted that even in Dabney's day much corporate backsliding was already
taking place. And that "with a growing impatience manifested towards the
doctrinal exactness of a formulary of Faith like The Westminster Confession, it
was inevitable that Dabney and his associates should be regarded as
backward-looking and ultra-conservative. His biographer's tribute, that 'he
became a type, not of New England Puritanism, but of Puritanism of the noblest
English age,' had no force for a new generation with a dwindling interest in
any form of Reformed orthodoxy." A sad example of this continued
declension is seen in our day among bodies like the Christian Reformed Church,
who seem eager to lap up the latest egalitarian crumbs that fall from Satan's
table. This book is a Biblically faithful rebuke against all those who would
pervert the God-given order between men, women and their respective callings.

Prelacy: A Blunder - Grounded
on Erroneous Exposition
Contrasting views of salvation, church government and the sacraments, Dabney
shows why the Gospel and prelacy are mutually exclusive. Moreover, he proves
that prelacy logically leads to Popery. A good little book for modern Reconstructionists
to read, as some have fallen into this very error.

The Sabbath and the State
Dabney's view as to what part the state should play in Sabbath observance.
Contains much that is thought-provoking but also demonstrates how even the best
men, generally speaking, among American Presbyterian authors, have been lead
into areas of error because of their practical denial of the Kingship of Christ
-- in their denial of the establishment principle. For the historically
Reformed view of civil government, as set forth in all the Reformed
confessions, see either Christ's Kingship Over the Nations by Brown or A Presbyterian Political
Manifesto by Michael
Wagner.

Secularized Education
Contains much that is thought-provoking, including some excellent points that
can be used to defend faithful parents from unrighteous civil encroachment (in
Christian home or private schools). However, as with the above title, this work
falls far short of the whole truth because of its antiestablishmentarian
stance. That the state honour and glorify God by keeping all of His
commandments is a first principle, which if denied in any manner, leads to much
error and eternal suffering. See Samuel B. Wylie's Two Sons of Oil: or, The Faithful
Witness For Magistracy and Ministry Upon a Scriptural Basis (softcover, $6.95)

The System of Alexander
Campbell
A examination and refutation of the Campbellites, especially as they ignorantly
refuse to bind themselves by creeds and confessions (which is a self-refuting
proposition, for everyone has a creed, whether written or unwritten). Deals
with Campbell's "dispensationalism," common among other forms of
Anabaptist thought (i.e. as in an espousal of radical discontinuity between the
Old and New Testaments). Campbell's defective view of the Trinity and his
heretical teaching concerning salvation are also countered.

The Theology of the Plymouth

What Is A Call To The
Ministry
Confusion reigns as subjectivity has lead many a young convert to pursue the
ministry -- with little or no thought as to the objective standards of
Scripture. Here Dabney gives clear and concise guidelines that will help to
encourage those truly called to the ministry but, at the same time, discourage
those who are deceived, who do not conform to God's objective standard for
ministry.

DALE, 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 writes 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.
The last three volumes listed below are softcovers and the final (i.e. volume
four) volume is actually two volumes bound into one.

DARLING, JAMES
Cyclopaedia Bibliographica: A
Library Manual of Theological and General Literature, and Guide to Books for Authors,
Preachers, Students and Literary Men. Analytical, Bibliographical, and
Biographical (1854, 10 Volumes)
An indispensable set for authors,
researchers, serious students of Scripture, librarians, ministers, collectors,
rare book dealers, etc. Contains
much information that is either unavailable elsewhere or would have to be
gleaned from several scattered volumes. Its ten volumes total 5245 pages. A phenomenal,
theological, bibliographical resource of staggering comprehensiveness. The
first section of this extremely rare set is a huge bibliography, organized by
authors alphabetically. Most known Biblical and theological publications, to
the author's day, are listed. Includes not only English listings, but Latin,
French and German also. The second part is a topical bibliography categorizing
items under the headings of Universal Knowledge, Theology (including the major
commentaries, sermons, articles and studies for just about every verse in the
Bible), a listing of Scripture texts (Hebrew, Greek and Latin) and an extensive
index. The Morning Post calls this massive work "the
most copious, accurate, and well-arranged catalogue of works in theological and
general literature which has as yet been published." Brownson's
Review noted that "for practical utility we know of none that surpasses
or approaches it."
Finally Bell's Messenger states, "No clergyman
or antiquarian should think it needless to possess a copy of this work. It will
smooth many a day's hard toil, by diminishing the labour of research, pointing
as it does, in an instant to works which it might have taken weeks, if not
months, or years, to search after." Don't miss this darling of
a help, which will ease and aid all your theological studies!

The Compassion of Christ to
Weak Believers
If you ever struggle with the Christian life, or you feel weak or depressed,
then this sermon is for you. Based on Matthew 12:20, "A bruised reed shall
he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment
unto victory." Martyn Lloyd-Jones called Davies "the most eloquent
preacher the American continent has produced." Davies succeeded Jonathan
Edwards as president of the college of New Jersey.

necessity, eliminates premillennialism as a tenable system of Biblical
eschatology. Also contains much practical teaching regarding living in the
light of eternity and the final day of judgement.

God is Love
After reading this book you may think that the statement "God is

sure to be a surprise to many -- and a very edifying surprise at that!

Things Unseen to Be Preferred
to Things Seen
A proper estimate of the value of the things unseen, as compared to those seen,
would do much to cure worldliness in the church and (humanly speaking) help to
turn many unrepentant sinners to the things of Christ. Or as Davies puts it, it
would "shock the libertine in his thoughtless career, tear off the
hypocrite's mask, and inflame devotion among the languishing saints."

DEDIJER, VLADIMIR
The Yugoslav Auschwitz and
the Vatican
First-hand
testimony of survivors and eyewitnesses is compiled in this shocking and
graphic account of the crimes committed during World War II at the largest
death camp in Yugoslavia. At the small Croation town of Jasenovac, the fascist
"Independent State of Croatia" (a satellite state of the Nazi Third
Reich) constructed a concentration camp where more than 200,000 people, mostly
Orthodox Serbs, were systematically murdered. Among
the participants in this genocide were members of the Roman Catholic clergy,
from the Franciscan monk who became the camp commandant to the infamous
Archbishop Stepinac, the spiritual advisor to the fascist state appointed by
Pope Pius XII. Vladimir Dedijer... has collected irrefutable documentary and photographic evidence,
attesting to thousands of atrocities and the complicity of the Catholic Church
in these crimes. The events described in this important volume
provide a historical context to the current conflict in Yugoslavia... The massacre at Jasenovac was... a dark episode in the
history of the Catholic Church, one that the Church has attempted to hush up
for fifty years (back cover, emphases added).
I present the new edition to the public in the hope that this most
unknown chapter of Church history may become just as well-known as the crimes
the (Roman Catholic--RB) Church committed in the Middle Ages (Gottfried Niemitz from
the "Foreword to the Second German Edition, p. 21, emphases added).
This book is
published by Prometheus Books (an atheist/anti-Christian publisher) and though
it contains much that is useful (concerning the historical data presented), the
reader is cautioned to be on guard as to other comments and conclusions it
contains.

DEFOE, DANIEL
Religious Courtship: Being
Historical Discourses, On the Necessity of Marrying Religious Husbands and
Wives Only (1743)
Early in his life Defoe was studying to become a
(dissenting) minister. Later he also wrote the famous novel, Robinson Crusoe. This title, written as a dialogue (of over 400 pages),
demonstrates why husbands and wives should be of the same religion with one
another; and how to bring such ends about. It also contains an appendix
concerning the necessity of taking none but religious servants, and a proposal
for the better managing of servants. See also William Gouge's Of Domestical

DATING or COURTSHIP: WHICH IS BIBLICAL? (by
Price, Washer, Schwertely, Defoe, Gouge)
http://www.sermonaudio.com/new_details3.asp?ID=12526
DICK, JAMES
Hymns and Hymn Books (1883)
Greg
Price calls this one of the best short defences of exclusive Psalmody. It is excerpted from The
Original Covenanter magazine (Dec, 1883, vol. 3, No. 12). Here is a taste of
Dick's writing,
Hymns
of human composition are used so commonly now in public worship by Presbyterian
churches that it is difficult to believe that the practice is not a hundred
years old, and that in some of the churches it is of very recent date. On the
supposition that it is good and dutiful and wise to sing such hymns in worship,
it is equally difficult to account for the neglect of the churches at the time
of the Reformation, and for generations afterwards.
What could have so blinded the reformers
as to make them reject hymns and sing the Psalms alone? How could the
Westminster Divines, in framing their Confession of Faith and Directory for
Worship, have been so unanimous in the blunder that the service of praise is to
consist of the 'singing of Psalms?' And apart from the aspect of duty, how
could the Presbyterian churches, for about a hundred and fifty or two hundred
years after the Westminster Assembly, have been so insensible to the power of
hymns as an attractive addition to their public services? We
cannot by any means understand how it was that, if it was dutiful to use hymns
in worship, the reformers did not discover the Scriptural warrant for the duty,
especially as hymns had been used for centuries by the Church of Rome. Nor can we understand how they rejected the hymns and
used the Psalms alone, unless on the supposition that they believed the use of
hymns to be part of the will-worship of Rome. If they were wrong on this point, then Rome and our modern
Presbyterian churches are right. In that case, the Puritans and Covenanters
were fanatics, and Romanists were truly enlightened! And most of our
Presbyterian churches of the present day were fanatical too, and did not become
truly enlightened and liberal till they got back to the Romish practice!

ON DAVID DICKSON…
Author David Dickson (1583-1663) was the son of a wealthy merchant in
Glasgow. His early aspirations to enter the family business were diverted
through an illness and a subsequently lengthy period of convalescence. The result was that he entered the University of
Glasgow (then under Principal Robert Boyd) and prepared for the Christian ministry.
Following graduation he remained in the University as a regent until, in 1618,
he was called to the parish of Irvine in Ayrshire. Deprived of his ministry in
1622 by the Bishop of Glasgow for his opposition to the Five Articles, he was
banished for a year to Turiff in Aberdeenshire, but on his return was the
instrument in the hand of God of numerous conversions. It was out of his
pastoral experience that his famous manual of spiritual counsel, Therapeutica
Sacra, was written. In 1638 he was present at the famous Assembly
which restored Presbyterian government in Scotland, and the following year was
chosen Moderator of the Scottish Church.
In 1640 he became Professor of Divinity in Glasgow, transferring to
Edinburgh ten years later. During that
period he played a considerable part in establishing vital, orthodox
Christianity throughout the land. He helped to draw up the Directory
for Public Worship, and with James Durham compiled the Sum of Saving Knowledge
(a work instrumental in later years in the conversion of Robert Murray
M'Cheyne). Restoration troubles after the
return of King Charles II in 1660, hastened his death. As the end drew near, he
spoke the memorable words: 'I have taken all my good deeds, and all
my bad and cast them in a heap before the Lord, and fled from both, and betaken
myself to the Lord Jesus Christ, and in him I have sweet peace.'
A Brief Explication of the
Psalms (1655, 1834 edition, 2 volumes)
Charles Spurgeon calls this "(a) rich volume, dropping fatness. Invaluable
to the preacher. Having read and re-read it, we can speak of its holy savor and
suggestiveness. We commend it with much fervor" (Commenting on
Commentaries). Spurgeon
also commented, "Dickson is a writer after our own heart, for preachers he
is a great ally" (Johnston, The Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, p. 314). Dickson worked on the Directory
for Public Worship with
Calderwood and Henderson and on The Sum of Saving Knowledge with Durham. The Treasury of the
Scottish Covenant
further notes, "An English merchant had occasion to visit Scotland about
1650. On his return he was asked what news he brought, when he replied: 'Great
and good news! I went to St. Andrews, where I heard a sweet majestic looking
man--Blair was his name--who shewed me the majesty of God. After him I heard a
little fair man, named Rutherford, and he shewed me the loveliness of Christ. I
then went to Irvine, where I heard a well-favoured, proper old man, with a long
beard--his name was David Dickson--and that man shewed me all my heart.'"
Seeing "all your heart" in the Psalms, through these works of
Dickson's, makes these volumes a most valuable addition to any Christian's
library. Wodrow's "Life of Dickson" is also included in this volume.

DICKSON, DAVID
Truth's Victory Over Error (A
Classic Commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith) (1684,
1784 edition)
The title continues,
"The True
Principles of the Christian Religion, Stated and Vindicated against the
following Heresies, viz, Arians, Arminians, Anabaptists, Antinomians,
Brownists, Donatists, Epicurians, Eutychians, Erastians, Familists, Jesuits,
Independents, Libertines, Manicheans, Pelagians, Papists, Quakers, Socinians,
Sabellians, Sceptics, Vaninians, etc. The whole being a Commentary on all the Chapters of the
(Westminster -- RB) Confession of Faith, by way of Question and Answer: In
which, the saving Truths of our holy Religion are confirmed and established;
and the dangerous Errors and Opinions of its Adversaries detected and
confuted... To this Edition is prefixed, A short Account of the
Author's Life, by the late Mr. Robert Wodrow..."
One of the best commentaries on
the Westminster Confession of Faith.
This item is part of the elder's
reading/training list in the Puritan Reformed Church (the church of the
Covenanted Reformation).
296 pages.
Banner of Truth Description
This book is not merely of
historical interest; it is also of considerable value now because many of the
errors refuted within its pages have surfaced again in the 21st century church under
new guises. Christians today can learn a great deal from the faithful witness
of former generations who experienced 'truth's victory over error'.
Truth's Victory Over Error contains
David Dickson's lectures on the Westminster Confession of Faith, delivered to
the divinity students of Edinburgh University in the early 1650s. Here then
is a commentary written just a few brief years after the Westminster Divines
drew up their famous Confession of 1647 by one of their senior contemporaries. Dickson's
comments reveal the burning issues of the day and supply fascinating insight
into the robust theology of the Scottish Puritans.
In the Introduction to the book
Robert Wodrow writes that the author 'as it were, breaks the truths of our
Confession small, and prepares them for the meanest capacities.' Here, then, is
a useful aid for Christians who want to study and understand the doctrines of
the Confession itself.
Dickson was concerned to explain the
truth and refute error. Not content merely to establish the Confession's
articles from Scripture, he also 'guards against the gangrene and poison of
contrary errors, with judgment and perspicuity' (Wodrow). Like all true
evangelicals, Dickson saw the vital need of expressing the Bible's teaching in
both negative and positive propositions.

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 three 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.

effect, make a whore of his own wife; Also many other particulars of family
concern." From the author of Robinson Crusoe and many other writings. 104

DEMAUS, ROBERT (Edited
by Richard Lovett)
William Tyndale: A Biography (1904)
William
Tyndale was the first man ever to attempt translating the Bible into English
from the original languages (Wycliffe had translated from the Latin Vulgate). His work in
this field was vital to the production of English-language Bibles at the time
of the Reformation. Because of his ground breaking effort to produce a Bible in
English, the editor of this biography of Tyndale notes that "there are not lacking those who consider him [Tyndale] to
be the one man to whom modern Englishmen owe the largest debt of gratitude
(p. 5)." Thus anyone interested in the Reformation in English-speaking
countries would necessarily need to know about Tyndale and his work.
Furthermore, Robert Demaus' biography of this great Reformer was done so well
that "it was but natural that the book should
at once become the standard authority on the subject, which it is now admitted
on all hands to be (p. 5)."
The England
that Tyndale was born into was spiritually dark due to the religious dominance
of the Romish Antichrist. At that time the Bible "was practically unknown,
either to clergy or to people. The Convocation of the province of Canterbury
had expressly forbidden any man to translate any part of Scripture into the
English tongue, or to read such translation without the authority of the
bishop, an authority not very likely to be granted (p. 32)." But this was
to be expected. "If the Pope was in very
deed the antichrist foretold by the apostles, then it was not surprising that
he should use every effort to keep the people in ignorance of that Divine rule
which would so completely expose the baselessness of his pretensions; it was
only natural that the Holy Scriptures should be buried in unknown tongues, and
that the meaning of the passages which occurred in the services of the Church
should be obscured by whimsical, allegorical interpretations (pp.
82-83)." Thus Tyndale decided to undertake "the translation of the
New Testament into the English tongue, as the noblest service that he could
render to his country, and an indispensable preliminary to any possible
reformation of the abuses which abounded in the Church (p. 83)."
This
book, then, recounts Tyndale's heroic efforts to produce an English-language
Bible.
When he began this great project, the Reformation had begun on the continent of
Europe, but had not yet had much impact in England. Thus opposition to his work
in England would be too powerful. "It was clearly impossible to translate
the New Testament in England; but there was no difficulty in translating it
abroad, in some of those countries where the Reformation had established itself
(p. 111)." In 1524 he left England for Germany, and never returned to his
native country again.
Tyndale was able
to translate the New Testament in Germany, and it appears that the first copies
arrived in England in 1526 (p. 141). Chapter Five discusses Tyndale's New
Testament, and describes his scholarly qualifications. Tyndale had done such a
good job of translation that Demaus (writing in the nineteenth century) could
say, "that the English New Testament, as we now
have it, is, in its substance, the unchanged language of Tindale's first
version (p. 157)." Once the authorities in England discovered
that an English translation of the Bible was circulating in their country, they
acted quickly to stop its spread, confiscating any copies found, and arresting
the distributors. As a result, "for a time, doubtless, the circulation of
the New Testament in England was sensibly arrested (p. 188)."
After his
translating of the New Testament, Tyndale began translating the Old Testament.
In 1531 the first English translation of the Pentateuch was printed. "This
was Tyndale's second great contribution towards that sacred work to which he
had devoted his life (p. 272)." Tyndale was also writing some books of his
own including "The Practice of Prelates." In
Tyndale's "eyes the pope was Antichrist and the whore of Babylon
(p. 299)." Sir Thomas More, a very prominent English Romanist, was called
upon to defend Rome, and thus a public controversy between More and Tyndale
erupted. Tyndale's book "An Answer to Sir
Thomas More's Dialogue" (also published by SWRB) was the
result.
Continuing his
work on Bible translation, in 1534 Tyndale reissued the Pentateuch with a few
changes, and a revision of the New Testament. Tyndale completed another
revision of the New Testament in 1535, but he was arrested before it could be
printed. By this time Tyndale was in Antwerp (the Netherlands). It was there
that he was arrested, and then moved to the Castle of Vilvorde, the state
prison of the Low Countries (p. 483). Tyndale's trial for heresy began in 1536,
and he was condemned to death. But the work he had
undertaken in his life continued to bless God's people for generations to come,
and thus his influence for good has been immeasurable.
This book is a
standard work on one of the most important Reformers, who gave his life in
service to Christ and the brethren. 561 pages.

DENNISON, JAMES, Jr.
The Market Day of the Soul
(The Puritans and the
Sabbath)
This is a reprinting of Dennison's book on the Sabbath as understood by the Puritans.
Dennison originally wrote this book as a thesis at Pittsburgh Theological
Seminary for the late Dr. John H. Gerstner, and it was published in 1983. We have
retypeset it from its original edition. In this book,
painstakingly researched from original souces, Dennison shows the
differing views on the Sabbath between the Anglicans of the 16th and 17th
centuries and the Puritans of that same time period. He concludes that the
Puritan view of the Sabbath is the biblical one. 210 pages (SDG flyer).

DEXTER, HENRY MARTIN
Roger Williams and His
'Banishment' from the Massachusetts Plantation; With a Few Further Words
Concerning the Baptists, the Quakers, and Religious Liberty (1876)
Refutes the silly, historically
inaccurate, anti-Biblical notion that Williams was some kind of champion of
liberty. The
fact of the matter is that Williams' wicked views were much closer to
Anabaptist antinomian anarchy than to biblical liberty. Moreover, Williams
paved the way, with his antichristian views, for much of the open opposition to
the Lord Jesus Christ and His law that we see in society today. He even abandoned many of his own ideas, after seeing
their unworkableness, when they were turned against him in his later life. Ultimately, as this book demonstrates, Williams was a
confused upstart that promoted a number of devilish ideas. It also
demolishes much of the historical revisionism surrounding Williams, his
contemporaries and their times (from many [rare] source documents). 146
(8.5" x 11") pages with a chronological table of events surrounding
Williams and his life.

The Fifty Years' Struggle of
the Scottish Covenanters 1638-1688 (fifth edition, 1868)
"This volume does not pretend to be an exhaustive History of the Period
selected, or properly a History at all. It is only a series of descriptive
Sketches, meant to represent in outline the successive phases of the
Covenanting Struggle. The subject is a noble one for a History, having an epic
completeness--a beginning, middle, and end--with it clearly-defined half
century... The main body of the Narrative has been based on a careful collation
of the best authorites--those contemporary or nearly contemporary with the
events... I have also had the privilege... of examining the documents of the
period in the State Paper Office," notes the author. 400 pages, indexed.

50 Suggested Tunes for Use
With the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650 (1998)
Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his
name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto
him, talk ye of all his
wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that
seek the LORD. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments
of his mouth; O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen
ones. He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye mindful
always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant (1 Chr. 16:8-17, emphases added).
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 Contenting 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. To accomplish this last goal, the Scottish Metrical
Psalter provides a
version of every Psalm in common metre (except Psalm 136 -- and even this
Psalm, with a little ingenuity, can be made to fit the various common metre
tunes). With all this in mind it is easy to recognize how (and why) this
"tune tape" has been created to help the contemporary Covenanter and
Psalm singer make good use of this godly and judicious offering -- a landmark
Psalter -- which we have received from the hands of our faithful forefathers.
On this cassette the Dohms
provide us with fifty separate tunes (sung acappella), most of which are common
metre -- but samples of other tunes used in this Psalter also appear (and are
noted by name on the tape before each tune is sung). All the common metre tunes
can be interchanged and used with all of the Psalms in the Scottish Metrical
Psalter of 1650
(sometimes listed as The Psalms of David in Metre in this catalogue). However, because
this cassette is primarily intended to familiarize the listener with a diverse
selection of tunes, only Psalms one and 23 are sung in their entirety. The
remaining 48 Psalms (Psalms 2-22 and 24-50) make use of two to four verses from
each Psalm. This allows the listener to sample a wider range of tunes on one
cassette -- and keeps the price of this tape down (as one is not forced to buy
numerous tapes to cover the fifty tunes offered here). This is also very useful
when it is remembered, as noted above, that all the common metre tunes can be
interchanged throughout this Psalter, as all the Psalms (excepting 136) in the Scottish
Metrical Psalter are
provided in a common metre version. For those who are interested, Psalms 6, 25,
45, 50, 67, 70, 100, 102, 124, 136, 143, 145, 148 are also translated for use
with an alternate tune in the Scottish Metrical Psalter (and at least one tune for each of these
alternate versions is provided on this tape).
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!

DOUGLAS, JAMES
Strictures on Occasional
Hearing (1820, second edition)
An inquiry into Song 1:7, "Why should I be
as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?" This book sets out to demonstrates the proposition that
one should not hear the public preaching of those he can not take communion
with (i.e. it proposes a ban on occasionally hearing those with whom you can
not maintain organic fellowship with). The implications contained in
this truth are immense; especially when one has adopted the Biblical doctrine
of close communion and is set upon upholding the covenanted reformation. The
duty to separation and to true visible unity are all encompassed here. A review of this book,
written in 1818, notes that the "treatise may
be viewed as a complete repository of all that has yet been said on the subject."
It is filled with Scriptural, as well as historical testimony, and is a welcome
tonic to the weak and compromising books of our day that so often sacrifice the
truth on the altar of some other man made expediency (such as unity for
political or ecclesiastical advantage). For as the introduction notes, "It is the revealed will of God, and not saintship,
which is the only rule of a visible profession." That Christians
exist in other denominations is not denied, but that they are faithful to the
covenanted reformation (already historically obtained) is. The arguments set
forth here are reminiscent of those found in Rutherford's Due Right of
Presbyteries.
If you are struggling with questions related to
separation, the unity of the visible church, close communion, etc. this book
may be exactly what you've been looking for. A massive appendix also
lays out the historical testimony concerning this matter. 144 pages.

Vitis Degeneris: or, The
Degenerate Plant (1668)
The title continues: "Being a Treatise of Ancient Ceremonies. Containing
an Historical Account of their Rise and Growth, their First Entrance into the
Church, and their Gradual Advancement to Superstition Therein. Written
originally in French, but now, for general information and benefit, faithfully
translated into English." Contains a fascinating "summary of those
ceremonies whose original is reported in this history, according to the
respective order of time wherein they had their rise" -- covering the
period from 110 AD to 1470 AD. The mystery of iniquity has made much progress
in the church since the writing of this book; but the foundations of defection
were laid during the period covered herein. If we would pull out the idolatrous
tree by its roots (in our battle against the inner darkness in the visible
church), books like this offer a great deal of help. It deals with the
corruption of the Lord's Supper (in the Mass), Romish holy days (like Easter),
and many appendages of ecclesiastical Antichrist -- some which are now taught
and practiced in churches which call themselves "Reformed." "But
he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted,
shall be rooted up" (Matt. 15:13). 222 pages.

"These selections have been made in good faith, and will be found, I

for my object was to prepare a useful volume, and not a controversial

Christ Crucified: Or, The
Marrow of the Gospel, Evidently Set Forth in 72 Sermons on the Whole
Fifty-third Chapter of Isaiah
(1723, fourth edition, corrected)
The title continues: "Wherein the text is clearly
and judicially opened, and a great many most apposite, truly spiritual, and
very edifying points of doctrine, in a delectable variety, drawn from it; with
choice and excellent practical improvements thereof. Wherein also several
adversaries of the truth, as Socinians, Arminians,
Arians, and Antinomians, are solidly and fully refuted. Besides,
many errors in practice incident to professors, otherwise sound and orthodox in
their opinions, are discovered; and many grave, deep,
and very important cases of conscience, satisfyingly discussed."
The preface, signed by Thomas Ridgley (and 22 others), notes that this work
"equals, at least, if it does not exceed his other writings." This
book aims to "prove contributive to the bringing you to a considerable
growth in holiness."
It contains an index (which was not available in earlier editions), enlarged
print, and covers over 430 pages.

Solomon (1668, 1840 edition)
"Durham is always good, and he is at his best upon the Canticles. He gives
us the essence of the good matter. For practical use this work is perhaps more
valuable than any other key to the Song," writes Spurgeon (as cited in
Johnston, Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, p. 318). "The epistle dedicatory
was written by Mrs. Durham, and addressed to the Lady Viscountess of Kenmure,
Dr. (John--RB) Owen contributed the address to the Christian Reader, which
bears the date 1669" (Ibid., p. 317). 460 pages.

DURHAM, JAMES
A Complete Commentary Upon
the Book of Revelation (1658, 1799 edition)
In 1779, in their Testimony and Warning
Against the Blasphemies and Idolatry of Popery, the Reformed
Presbytery called Durham's Complete Commentary... On the Book of Revelation, "the best exposition of that book that has yet been
published" (p. 61n)."After
all that has been written it would not be easy to find a more sensible and
instructive work than this old-fashioned exposition... the mystery of the
Gospel fills it with sweet savour" writes Spurgeon of this work (cited in Johnston, Treasury
of the Scottish Covenant, p. 318, emphasis added). Carstairs,
in the introduction to this huge set, comments that the judicious reader "will count the author an interpreter, one among a
thousand." This book touches on
many subjects "with some practical observations, and several digressions,
necessary for vindicating, clearing, and confirming many weighty and important
truths." Furthermore, along with a detailed verse by verse
interpretation of the book of Revelation it includes (at the end of volume two)
a brief summary (containing 24 pages) of the whole book. The complete photocopy
set is massive and covers 1750 pages!
We (Still Waters Revival Books) are publishing

The Dying Man's Testament to
the Church of Scotland: Or, A Treatise Concerning Scandal (1659, 1740 edition)
Though it wasn't until the very end of his life that Durham got off the fence
and made his preference for the Protester's (over the Resolutioner's) cause
known, this book still contains much valuable information if it is handled in
the proper context (i.e. the battle for a faithful, settled national church;
with no thought of approbating the schismatic independent denominationalism
prevalent in our day). This book is divided into four parts: "1.
Concerning Scandal in the general; 2. Concerning publick Scandals, or Scandals
as they are the object of Church-Censures, and more particularly as they are in
practice; 3. Concerning doctrinal Scandals, or scandalous Errors; 4. Concerning
scandalous Divisions." There is some question as to the authorship of this
book, or whether it has been doctored by later writers, but we will not enter
into that in this short space. 432 pages.

Durham,

'very candid and searching preacher,' who in an instant was 'in

meekness, without giving any of his hearers the smallest ground to fret and repine
at his freedom in dealing with them'" (Carstairs cited in the Dictionary of
Scottish Church History, p. 266).
John Owen, in his letter
introducing the reader to this volume, writes,
In the whole a full testimony is given, not only against the profligate
lives of many, called Christians, but that barren careless profession also,
which too many satisfy themselves withal, who pretend more unto the truth and
power of religion. And as those who are sincere in their obedience may, in the
examination of themselves, by the rules here laid down, discern the decays
which possibly they have fallen under in this hour of temptation, which is come
on the face of the earth, to try them that dwell therein, so also may they be
directed in their Christian course unto the glory of God, and the comfort of
their own souls.
Larry Birger
also writes,
John
Owen gave high praise to this book in the introduction he wrote for it, and
rightly so, in my humble opinion. This may indeed
be the single best book you can obtain on the 10 commandments, and
it is especially valuable for its relatively short size. The first chapter, which expounds the preface to the 10
commandments, is only 30 pages long and is simply fantastic.
Durham's
lectures deal with each commandment in order and the volume contains "An
Alphabetical Table of the Principal Matters Handled in the Whole Book;"
making it eminently practical, and a very useful aid to the study of God's
holy, just, good and spiritual law (Rom. 7:12). 422 pages.

DURHAM, JAMES
The Unsearchable Riches of
Christ and of Grace and Glory In and Through Him; Diligently Searched Into,
Clearly Unfolded, and Comfortably Holden Forth, in Fourteen Rich Gospel Sermons
Preached on Several Texts, at Communions in Glasgow (1685,
1764 edition)
These communion sermons cover topics
such as: the great danger of unworthy communing; the great sin of not
discerning the Lord's body; gospel preparations are the strongest invitations;
after God speaks peace, turn not again to folly; right covenanting with God, a business
of the greatest concern; heart-melting is a good frame for covenanting with
God; we should stir up ourselves to covenant with God; believers'
sweetest communion is with Christ in heaven; etc. The tenor of this book could be summed
up in this statement excerpted from the Epistle Dedicatory and Prefatory, "Beware of all sinful dalliances with idols, whereby the soul
is estranged from communion with God; for there is no agreement betwixt the
temple of God and idols, from love to
fellowship with him, and from zeal to his glory, bid them all, with
indignation, be gone, saying to them, What have we any more to do with
idols? and as to a menstruous cloth, Get
you hence" (bold emphasis added. pp. xi-xii). Durham was a well-known Presbyterian
Covenanter (who openly sided with the Protesters as he neared his death) -- and Covenanter
communion sermons often produced some of the richest gospel fare one is likely
to encounter.
Taste of this fine feast and you will see for yourself what we mean. Over 300
pages.

The Dutch Annotations upon the
Whole Bible (1657)
Theodore Haak (1605-1690), at the instigation of the Westminster Assembly,
translated the famous Dutch Bible and its Annotations into the English
language, culminating in the 1657 folio edition(s).
Having a long reputation in the Netherlands, and
there quoted with great authority, we are grateful to have this reprint
edition available for a new generation of English readers.
This book is a massive folio volume -- almost 10
inches wide and just a little over 13 inches tall.
On the antiquarian market, the
Haak-Bible, as it is called, has sold for over $US1,000.00 (or about $1500.00
US funds).
Smyth-sewn for added durability, this facsimile
reprint of the 1657 printing will provide a new avenue for personal study,
sermon preparation, and scholarly interest.
