"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!"

Dr. Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson, Meet the Puritans: With a Guide To
Modern Reprints, pp. 632-633.
This remarkable
set of rare Puritan sermons is made up of facsimile copies of sermons preached
before the "Long Parliament" in England during the second Reformation
-- on appointed fast days between 1640 and 1653.
Many famous
Puritans, as well as Scottish Covenanters and Westminster Divines, were called
upon to deliver these important messages to the civil rulers (and nations, when
these sermons were later distributed in print format) of that day.
A free online
MP3 (audio) sample of one of these sermons, by George Gillespie (one of the
Scottish commissioners attending the Westminster Assembly) is available at http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=103006312.
This sermon is titled "Reformation's Refining Fire; or, Iconoclastic Zeal
Necessary to World Reformation."
The quote below
should also help you to appreciate the spirit of these days of Reformation,
while also illustrating the zeal and dedication that the Lord gave both the
preaches and those who heard them,
"Another
important thing to note about the Westminster Divines (and indeed of many
Christians living in those days) is that they were men of prayer. During the time
when the Assembly was meeting, Parliament held regular Fast Days on the last
Wednesday of every month. Here's an example of how Puritan Fast Days were
conducted:
"It
was upon these occasions his (John Howe's) common way to begin about nine in
the morning with prayer for about a quarter of an hour in which he begged a
blessing on the work of the day: and afterward read and expounded a chapter or
psalm in which he spent three-quarters of an hour. Then he prayed for about an
hour, preached for another hour and prayed for about half an hour. After this
he retired and took some little refreshment for about a quarter of an hour more
(the people singing all the while) and then came again into the pulpit and
prayed for another hour and gave them another sermon of about an hour's length,
and so concluded the service of the day at about four of the clock in the
evening with about half an hour or more in prayer.
The
seven hours of such a service included about three and a quarter hours of
prayer and two and three quarter hours of preaching. The Parliamentary Fast
Days likewise tended to have even more prayer than preaching, sometimes with
two one-hour sermons and two prayers of two hours length each! (emphases added)"

Modern Reprints, pp. 637-639.
Volumes
vary in length from 624 to 804 pages and cover a great number of topics that
are essential to the Puritan view of God, the world and the Christian life.
The
Preface notes, "This celebrated collection of
useful and orthodox theology consists of practical as well as doctrinal
discourses, preached by some of the most eminent divines of the 17th century,
and published at irregular intervals between the years 1660 and 1691."
Volume
six, "The Morning Exercises against Popery; or the principal Errors of the Church of Rome
detected and confuted has always been deemed a standard book on that great
controversy," which even in that
day was "recently revived. Two of the volumes here described were
published prior to the year 1662; consequently all the authors of the sermons
in those volumes were Conformists up to that time; and though the majority of
them afterwards became for consciences' sake, Nonconformists, yet this
circumstance, instead of detracting from their moral and intellectual worth,
has served, through intervening years, to enhance their character, in public
estimation, as divines of great talents, erudition, and purity."
In
short, a sound, useful and judicious collection of Puritan divinity. Includes sermons
by John Owen, Thomas Watson, Thomas Manton, Matthew Poole, Richard Baxter,
William Greenhill, James Janeway, Edmund Calamy, Thomas Vincent and many other
able ministers of the Gospel.
Volume
six contains a phenomenal set of indices (covering all six volumes) which run
179 pages in length.
All
six volumes total about 4,150 pages.

The Family
in its Offices of Instruction and Worship (1876)
The author notes that "[f]rom the earliest period in the history of the
Church, the duty of family instruction has been emphasized as the most
important of all agencies in perpetuating the knowledge of Divine truth"
(emphasis added). Furthermore, he writes, "each pious household is a
separate fibre of those roots by which the Church of the living God takes hold
upon the earth, and preserves its existence in a sinful world." It is
especially important that fathers study material like this, for if they will
not lead their families in instruction and daily family worship, they have, for
all intents and purposes, denied the faith. For when 1 Tim. 5:8 states,
"But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own
house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel," it should
be taken to heart. Even if this verse refers specifically to the material
aspects of life, how much more important are the spiritual duties? This book
should be a great encouragement to those entrusted with these most important
spiritual duties and privileges!

PANNE, JEAN-LOUIS (AND
FIVE OTHER EX-COMMUNISTS OR "FELLOW TRAVELERS")
The Black Book of Communism:
Crimes, Terror, Repression (fourth printing, 2001)
In a review of
this book, Peter Hammond of Frontline Fellowship (a missionary organization
ministering to Christians oppressed under Communist and Islamic regimes, http://www.swrb.com/catalog/h.htm ) writes,
The
Black Book of Communism is a monumental work that is heralding the ultimate defeat and
disgrace of Communism worldwide. It was a best seller when first published in
France, selling nearly 200 000 copies. That is a very large print run for a
hard back book almost 900 pages long! It led the
Communist Party in France to hold crisis sessions considering whether it could
continue to hold to Marxism in any shape or form. The consensus was that they
would have to abolish the Communist Party!
Since
being translated into English and published by Harvard University Press, The
Black Book
has also provoked a sensation in Great Britain and the United States. The Black Book
is a scholarly, detailed account of the crimes of Communism starting with the
Russian Revolution and continuing through Eastern Europe, Red China, North Korea,
Vietnam, Cuba, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Angola and Afghanistan.
The
Black Book's
exhaustive indictment of Communism is all the more compelling because all 6 of its authors were once communists or
"fellow travellers" with communism (full review at: http://www.frontline.org.za/black_book.htm ).
Tony Judt (New
York Times),
in his review of this 878 page book, also comments,
An
800-page compendium of the crimes of Communist regimes worldwide, recorded and
analysed in ghastly detail by a team of scholars. The facts and figures, some
of them well known, others newly confirmed in
hitherto inaccessible archives, are irrefutable. The myth of the
well-intentioned founders -- the good czar Lenin betrayed by his evil heirs --
has been laid to rest for good. No one will any longer be able to claim
ignorance or uncertainty about the criminal nature of Communism, and those who
had begun to forget will be forced to remember anew.

Creation:
Facts of Life (Newly Revised and Updated)
This UPDATED
classic is filled with many of the latest findings in science. An excellent and
concise introductory text for students and families! In his easy-to-read style,
Dr. Gary Parker looks at evidence for creation in DNA, embryonic development,
homology and more! Darwin's assumptions and fossil evidence are also addressed.
This is a classic expanded into a powerful and layman-friendly format.
Dr. Gary
Parker, a former non-Christian and evolutionist, joined the staff of Answers in
Genesis in 1996 as senior lecturer. For 12 years he served on the science
faculty of the Institute for Creation Science in San Diego, California. He has
published ten textbooks, lectured worldwide on creation, and appeared in
numerous films and on television.

"I can
hardly forget reading this book for the first time. I was 12 years old, and I
had believed firmly in the bible my entire life. I remember watching discovery
channel and they would say something like, "The salamander evolved 30
million years ago as a result of the pressures of competing lizards", or
something to that effect. I remember thinking, "Yeah right, they expect me
to believe this nonsense? They didn't offer any proof!" However, I thought
that I was maybe one of the few people who rejected evolution. I thought that
all "grown-ups" believed in evolution, except for my daddy of course.
But I held firm to my beliefs.
One day, my dad
said, "Here Kyle, read this book. It's pretty interesting." I
remember looking at the title "Creation: Facts of Life". I sat there
wondering, could this possibly be a book about evidence that we were created?
As one would
expect, I was totally unaware of the large amount of creationist literature out
there. I read through the book in amazement. Not only did this book reaffirm
what I believed, it even gave evidence from things like genetics and the fossil
record. I was shocked to learn that Parker was actually a former
athiest/evolutionist.
Anyways, this
book has always been a bit special to me. This book turned me into a YEC (Young
Earth Creationist), and I am very happy that Parker was able to change my life
in such a positive way."

The
Fellowship of Christ's Sufferings
Peden was a persecuted Covenanter minister and field preacher. The intrigues
and hatred of his enemies forces him at times to conceal his face from the
onlooking crowds while preaching, so that he could not easily be recognized by
informants and those seeking to take his life. The mask he used for this
purpose is preserved in Scotland to this day. This sermon sets forth the
tenderness of Christ to His suffering soldiers. It is filled with encouragement
to the faithful, to persevere under intense suffering and persecution -- even
unto a martyr's death if necessary (and many Covenanters sealed their testimony
with their blood during these days). In mirroring the goodness and severity of
God, this sermon also warns against occasional hearing (i.e. the hearing of
backsliding preachers who oppose the Covenants and the Covenanted Reformation).
Peden calls the clergy (referring alternately to the Prelates and the indulged Presbyterian
ministers) of Scotland in his day "vile apostates," "cursed
time-servers" and "bastards who have left their bleeding and wounded
mother in her distress." He further notes that God will blast away all
these unfaithful covenant-breakers. He closes this exhortation with a call to
keep all of the attainments of the Covenanted Reformation and, if need be, to
seal these truths with your blood. This sermon is read by ruling elder Lyndon
Dohms from the book Sermons Delivered in Times of Persecution in Scotland,
by Sufferers for the Royal Prerogatives of Jesus Christ ($39.00 HP, $19.99 P).

PERKINS, WILLIAM
A Commentary on the Epistle
to the Galatians (1617)
"Perkins was justly esteemed
by his contemporaries as a master in theology. This commentary is deeply theological,
and reads like a body of divinity," writes Spurgeon (Commenting on
Commentaries).
Darling, in his Cyclopaedia Bibliographica (p. 2337) writes, "A learned and
pious Calvinistic divine. He excelled in a distinct judgment; a rare dexterity
in clearing the obscure subtleties of the schools, and in an easy explication
of perplexed subjects. As a preacher, he was greatly admired. Several of his
works have been translated in Latin, French, Dutch, and Spanish." Perkins covers
the first five chapters of Galatians in this work, while Cudworth completes the
final chapter. 613 pages.

PERKINS, WILLIAM
The Foundation of Christian
Religion Gathered Into Fixed Principles (1608)
Interestingly, just
below the title on the front cover of this 756 page book we find the words:
"And it is to be learned of ignorant people, that they may be fit to hear
sermons with profit, and to receive the Lord's Supper with comfort."
"Called 'the principal architect of Elizabethan
Puritanism' and 'the most important Puritan writer, Perkins was the first
theologian of the reformed English church to gain an international
reputation," writes McKim (Encyclopaedia of the Reformed
Faith,
p. 274).
This hefty tome
contains the following works by Perkins:
"A
Golden Chain: Or, The Description of Theology, Containing the order of the
causes of Salvation and Damnation . . . Hereunto is adjoined the order which M. Theodore Beza used in comforting afflicted
consciences;" "An Exposition of the Symbol or Creed of the
Apostles;" "An Exposition of the Lord's Prayer, In the Way of
Catechizing Serving for Ignorant People;" "A Treatise Tending Unto a
Declaration Whether a Man Be in the Estate of Damnation, or in the Estate of
Grace: And if He Be in the First, How He May in Time Come Out of it: If in the
Second, How He May Discern It, and Persevere in the Same to the End;"
"A Case of Conscience, the Greatest that Ever Was: How a Man May Know
Whether He Be the Child of God, or No (Whereunto is added a brief discourse
taken out of H. Zanchius);"
"A Direction for the Government of the Tongue According to God's
Word;" "Two Treatises: 1. On the Nature and Practice of Repentance;
2. Of the Combat of the Flesh and the Spirit;" "A Treatise How To
Live Well, In All Estates and Times, Specially When Helps and Comforts
Fail;" "The Treatise of Dying Well;" "A Discourse of
Conscience Wherein is Set Down the Nature, Properties, and Differences Thereof:
as Also the Way to Get and Keep a Good Conscience;" "A Reformed
Catholic: Or, A Declaration Showing How Near We May Come to the Present Church
of Rome in Sundry Points of Religion; and Wherein We Must For Ever Depart From
Them -- With an Advertisement to all Favourers of the Roman Religion, Showing How
the Said Religion is Against the Catholic Principles and Grounds of the
Catechism;" "A Declaration of the True Manner of Knowing Christ
Crucified;" "A Grain of Mustard Seed: Or, The Least Measure of Grace
that is or Can Be Effectual to Salvation;" "The True Gain, More in
Worth then All the Goods of the World;" "A Warning Against Idolatry
of the Last Times and an Instruction Touching Religious Divine Worship;"
"A Treatise of God's Free Grace and Man's Free Will;" A Treatise of
the Vocations , Or Callings of Men, With the Sorts and Kinds of Them, and the
Right Use Thereof."

The Whole
Treatise of the Cases of Conscience (1632)
"Called 'the principal architect of Elizabethan Puritanism' and 'the most important
Puritan writer,' Perkins was the first theologian of the Reformed English
church to gain an international reputation. His preaching manual, The Art of
Prophesying
(recently reprinted by the Banner of Truth Trust--RB), is found on nearly every
seventeenth century New England book list. . . . Perkin's theological legacy extended through his
Cambridge students, most prominently William Ames . . . Perkins's Calvinist
theology was presented according to the logic and method of Peter Ramus . . .
Ramism helped Perkins maintain the unity of theology and ethics, provided an
educational tool by streamlining logic, fostered plain-style preaching,
enhanced the art of memory, provided a tool for biblical interpretation as well
as supplying a secure philosophical base on which to build theology,"
notes the Encyclopedia of the Reformed Faith (p. 274). This book is
no exception and beautifully illustrates the usefulness of the Ramist method.
"Several of Perkins' works have been translated into Latin, French, Dutch,
and Spanish" (Cyclopaedia Bibliographica, p. 2337).

PIERCE, JAMES
A Vindication of the
Dissenters (1718, second edition, corrected)
Written
"In Answer to Dr. William Nichols's Defence of the Doctrine and Discipline
of the Church of England," this work was first written in Latin and then
translated into English. It is a massive (605 pages)
and detailed history and doctrinal defense of the Dissenters and "An
Appeal to Foreign Divines, Professors, and all other Learned Men of the
Reformed Religion."
Part
one covers the history and controversies surrounding nonconformity,
drawing from sources ancient to the author's day (in 288 pages).
Part
two is titled "Concerning the Doctrine of the Church of
England." It deals with separation, backsliding into Popish ways, civil
resistance, the power of the magistrate and numerous other topics of importance
to Reformed Christians.
Part
three, "Concerning Discipline, and Modes of Worship,"
systematically exposes numerous specific errors of the Prelates (in worship and
government), while defending the testimony of the Dissenters. Chapters in this
section include, "Of the Government of Bishops," "Of Singing and
Music in Churches," "Of the Public Liturgy," "Of the Sign
of the Cross in Baptism," "Of Godfathers and Godmothers,"
"Of Confirmation," "Of the Surplice, and other Ecclesiastical
Habits," "Of the Ring in Marriage," "Of Kneeling at the Sacraments,"
"Of the Observation of Holidays," "Of Bowing in the Name
of Jesus," "Of Reading Apocryphal books in the Church," Of the
Faults found with the English Liturgy," and much more.
This
last section is particularly revealing, as it exposes how far many, in our day,
that claim to be Reformed (like Steve Schlissel), have actually backslidden
into the rejected ways of Popery and Prelacy -- casting off some of the
greatest attainments of the Reformation (notably the second Reformation) in the
process. This is especially evident in the modern "Reformed"
rejection of the regulative principle of worship and the subsequent (ignorant)
embracing of many worship practises which our worthy Reformed forefathers
rightly abominated (as idolatry), confessed outside the church, and sometimes
even gave their lives fighting against. This book might be called
a miniature encyclopaedia of dissent. It should not be overlooked by those
interested in the great Puritan revolution which Pierce here defends -- a revolution which is once again being revived (by the
power of Almighty God) in our day and is destined to one day cover the whole
earth!

PINK, ARTHUR W.
The Arthur Pink Collection on
one CD
Arthur W. Pink
(1886-1952) was born in Great Britain and immigrated to the U.S. to study at
Moody Bible Institute. He pastored churches in Colorado, California, Kentucky,
and South Carolina before becoming an itinerant Bible teacher in 1919. He
returned to his native land in 1934, taking up residence on the Isle of Lewis,
Scotland, in 1940, and remained there until his death.
Most of his
works first appeared as articles in Studies in Scriptures, a monthly magazine
concerned solely with the exposition of Scripture.
Pink was
virtually unknown and certainly unappreciated in his day. Independent Bible
study convinced him that much of modern evangelism was defective. When
Puritan and reformed books were generally disregarded by the Church was a
whole, he advanced the majority of their principles with untiring zeal. The progressive
spiritual decline of his own nation (Britain) was to him the inevitable
consequence of the prevalence of a "gospel" that could neither wound
(with conviction of sin) nor heal (via regeneration).
Familiar
with the whole range of revelation, Mr. Pink was rarely sidetracked from the
great themes of Scripture: grace, justification, and sanctification. Our generation owes him
a great debt for the enduring light he has shed, by God's grace, on the Truth
of the Holy Bible.

A useful intermediate level study of the doctrines of election and
justification, including the practical outworking of these truths in the life
of the believer. (For advanced study on justification see John Brown of
Wamphray's The Life of Justification Opened). Pink is well known
for his ability to communicate some of the distinctive (and much maligned)
teachings of the Reformed faith to a broad audience -- and this book is no
exception. 256 pages.

ARTHUR W. PINK
The Sovereignty of God
This is the best contemporary book
explaining the foundations of Calvinism and God's sovereignty (as revealed in
Scripture).
It is like a key that, by God's grace, opens the door of understanding to some
of the most blessed truths in Scripture. From the myriad of testimonies that we
have heard concerning how God has used this book, we think that we can safely
say that this is also the best book to pass on to
those that you want to introduce to Calvinism. We have included
prices below for both the unedited, indexed, Baker Book House edition and the
edited Banner of Truth edition. Though the Banner edition has been edited, it
does contain some very helpful editorial footnotes that the Baker edition does
not contain.

Christian
Modesty and the Public Undressing of America
"In the
Church today, there are few cows quite as sacred as the right of modern
Christians to dress however they please. But in this groundbreaking work,
Jeff Pollard challenges us to embrace God's standard and to understand the
historical roots of the rise of nudity and immodesty in modern culture. His perspective is
thoughtful and balanced. Most importantly, he accomplishes what few authors on
this subject have achieved: a treatise that avoids both license and legalism. A
courageous booklet." (Publisher)
Greg Nyman
writes,
Jeff
Pollard has, indeed, taken on the "sacred cow" of our culture -
the swimsuit, essentially, but more importantly, he has shown by the sources he
quotes from outside the Christian church, that the agenda of the fashion industry
has been to progressively "undress" the American public. He moves on to show what the Bible
teaches concerning modesty, and how the Christian believer has been duped and
deceived into believing that this is "normal behavior," when in fact
it hasn't been.
This
is a powerful tool in the hands of anyone who wants to shed light on this
subject . . . This is . . . an appeal to examine ourselves in light of biblical
teaching as to how our behaviors are impacting our culture, and how we are
called to be "separate" and not be conformed to our world and its
falleness.
Towards
the end of this book, Jeff Pollard reveals what the connection between the
undressing of America and the current states of affairs are in pornography, and how easy it has become to see how
the swimsuit and pornography have led to the complete undressing of our culture
and what the "uncovering of our nakedness" has produced and what it
means from a biblical point of view. Ultimately, it has been rotten fruit, and
we need to capture again the essence of modesty in dress if we are to avoid the
judgment of God.
Compelling
reading, and sobering.
Al Martin
(Pastor, Trinity Baptist Church) comments,
The
author of these pages seeks to bring to the light of scripture and responsible
factual research the practice of acceptable public nakedness as it relates to
the bathing suit industry. Mr. Pollard is conscious that some will write off
his concerns as an infringement on their Christian liberty, while others will
judge him to be cowardly in not making more detailed and sweeping judgments.
May God give to each reader that wonderful disposition attributed to the
Bereans who 'received the Word with all readiness of mind, examining the
scriptures daily, whether these things were so' (Acts 17:11).'
Whether you
agree or not with all the conclusions of this book regarding specifics related
to modest clothing, there is much Scriptural information that calls for the
prayerful consideration of all Christians living in a godless, fashion, sex and
image crazed society. There is much here to contemplate in regard to what God
requires of us concerning internal and external modesty, purity and holiness.

The Lord
Jesus Christ said,
"But I
say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend
thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that
one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast
into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from
thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and
not that thy whole body should be cast into hell." (Matt. 5:28-30).
"We are
here taught, that there is such a thing as heart-adultery, adulterous thoughts and
dispositions, which never proceed to the act of adultery or fornication; and
perhaps the defilement which these give to the soul, that is here so clearly
asserted, was not only included in the seventh commandment, but was signified
and intended in many of those ceremonial pollutions under the law, for which
they were to wash their clothes, and bathe their flesh in water. Whosoever
looketh on a woman
(not only another man's wife, as some would have it, but any woman), to lust
after her, has committed adultery with her in his heart, v. 28. This command
forbids not only the acts of fornication and adultery, but, (1.) All appetites
to them, all lusting after the forbidden object; this is the beginning of the
sin, lust conceiving (James i. 15); it is a bad step towards the sin; and where
the lust is dwelt upon and approved, and the wanton desire is rolled under the
tongue as a sweet morsel, it is the commission of sin, as far as the heart can
do it; there wants nothing but convenient opportunity for the sin itself. Adultera
mens est˜The mind is debauched. Ovid. Lust is conscience baffled or biassed:
biassed, if it say nothing against the sin; baffled, if it prevail not in what
is says. (2.) All approaches toward them; feeding the eye with the sight of the
forbidden fruit; not only looking for that end, that I may lust; but looking
till I do lust, or looking to gratify the lust, where further satisfaction
cannot be obtained. The eye is both the inlet and outlet of a great deal of wickedness
of this kind, witness Joseph's mistress (Gen. xxxix. 7), Samson (Judg. xvi. 1),
David, 2 Sam. xi. 2. We read the eyes full of adultery, that cannot cease
from sin, 2
Pet. ii. 14. What need have we, therefore, with holy Job, to make a covenant
with our eyes,
to make this bargain with them that they should have the pleasure of beholding
the light of the sun and the works of God, provided they would never fasten or
dwell upon any thing that might occasion impure imaginations or desires; and
under this penalty, that if they did, they must smart for it in penitential
tears! Job xxxi. 1. What have we the covering of the eyes for, but to restrain
corrupt glances, and to keep out of their defiling impressions? This forbids
also the using of any other of our senses to stir up lust. If ensnaring looks
are forbidden fruit, much more unclean discourses, and wanton dalliances, the
fuel and bellows of this hellish fire. These precepts are hedges about the law
of heart-purity, v. 8. And if looking be lust, they who dress and deck, and
expose themselves, with design to be looked at and lusted after (like Jezebel,
that painted her face and tired her head, and looked out at the window) are no less guilty.
Men sin, but devils tempt to sin."
- Matthew Henry
"Whoever
shall look upon a woman. The design of Christ was to condemn generally the lust of
the flesh. He says, that not only those who have seduced their neighbors'
wives, but those who have polluted their eyes by an immodest look, are
adulterers before God. This is a synecdoche (It is a way of speaking
which is called Synecdoche, when a part is taken for the whole - ed.): for not only the eyes,
but even the concealed flames of the heart, render men guilty of adultery.
Accordingly, Paul makes chastity (1 Corinthians 7:34) to consist both in body
and in mind. But Christ reckoned it enough to refute the gross mistake which
was prevalent: for they thought that it was only necessary to guard against
outward adultery. As it is generally by the wantonness of the eyes that temptations
are presented to the mind, and as lust enters, as it were, by that door, Christ
used this mode of speaking, when he wished to condemn lust: which is evident
from the expression, to lust after her. This teaches us also, that not only those
who form a deliberate purpose of fornication, but those who admit any polluted
thoughts, are reckoned adulterers before God. The hypocrisy of the Papists,
therefore, is too gross and stupid, when they affirm that lust is not a sin,
until it gain the full consent of the heart. But we need not wonder, that they
make sin to be so small a matter: for those who ascribe righteousness to the
merit of works must be very dull and stupid in judging of their sins."
- John Calvin
"A
woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing;
for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God"
(Deuteronomy 22:5).
"The
distinction of sexes by the apparel is to be kept up, for the preservation of
our own and our neighbour's chastity. Nature itself teaches that a difference
be made between them in their hair (1Corinthians 11:14), and by the same rule
in their clothes, which therefore ought not to be confounded, either in
ordinary wear or occasionally. To befriend a lawful escape or concealment it may
be done, but whether for sport or in the acting of plays is justly
questionable. Some think it refers to the idolatrous custom of the Gentiles: in
the worship of Venus, women appeared in armour, and men in women's clothes;
this, as other such superstitious usages, is here said to be an abomination to
the Lord."
- Matthew Henry
"This
decree also commends modesty in general, and in it God anticipates the danger,
lest women should harden themselves into forgetfulness of modesty, or men
should degenerate into effeminacy unworthy of their nature. Garments are not in
themselves of so much importance; but as it is disgraceful for men to become
effeminate, and also for women to affect manliness in their dress and gestures,
propriety and modesty are prescribed, not only for decency's sake, but lest one
kind of liberty should at length lead to something worse. The words of the
heathen poet are very true: 'What shame can she, who wears a helmet, show, her
sex deserting?' Wherefore, decency in the fashion of the clothes is an
excellent preservative of modesty."
- John Calvin

POND, ENOCH
The Seals Opened; Or, The
Apocalypse Explained (1871)
After
noting that he found the Jesuit (i.e. Preterist--RB) method of eschatalogical
interpretation unsatisfactory, Pond tells us how he came to settle on the historic
Protestant method of interpretation (i.e. historicism).
Furthermore,
he states that,
avoiding the theories of Rationalists and Roman Catholics on the
one hand, and of the Adventists (Premillennialists--RB) on the other, the plan
of interpretation which we have pursued is the same which has been held by the
great body of evangelical ministers and Christians in America and in England
for the last hundred years.
Pond
aims to open Revelation to all Christians, but also deals with some controversial
points in chapters which deal with the dating of Revelation and a review of
Moses Stuart's Preterism. 248 pages.

POPE
(Urban VIII)
The
Pope's Conclave; or, A Speech Made By His Holiness, Upon the Disastrous
Disappointment Which the Roman Cause Hath Received By the Late Proceedings, and
the Great Covenant of Scotland (1640)
Biblical
covenanting has always been a crowning ordinance of real Reformation and a
major harbinger of the downfall of the Devil's dominion over the sons of men.
This book clearly demonstrates the man of sin's seething hatred, from his own
mouth, for this ordinance of God. The Pope here calls the National Covenant of
Scotland,
an
accursed Covenant, the king of all Monsters in Religion (which is able to make
all other Monsters be unadmired, and draw all number to this only) out of whose
womb, like the Trojan horse, are like to come a Furious Crew of undaunted
Heretics to brash the wall of Rome.
Here the Papal
Antichrist focuses specifically on the great damage done to Rome by the
National Covenant of Scotland (sworn in 1638). 54 pages, though some are a
little hard to read.

Amusing
Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
A scathing secular rebuke to the mindlessness of many of the pursuits that
consume most of our generation. Postman convincingly demonstrates the
superiority of a literate, word oriented culture over an immature, image based
society, such as ours. Citing positive examples from the days of the
Reformation, early America (and a plethora of other sources), over and against
the modern media and its amusements (a-musements or "no-thinkings"),
Postman shows that "television has conditioned us to tolerate visually
entertaining material measured out in spoonfuls of time, to the detriment of
rational public discourse and reasoned public affairs." Furthermore he
"offers compelling suggestions as to how to withstand the media
onslaught," stating that "before we hand over politics, education,
religion, and journalism to the show-business demands of the television age, we
must recognize the ways in which the media shape our lives and the ways we can,
in turn, shape them to serve our highest goals." Tellingly, Postman even
reminds us of our own heritage, when he notes that between 1640-1700 in America
it was understood that "the Bible was the central reading matter in all
households," for as he says, "these people were Protestants who
shared Luther's belief that printing was "God's highest and extremist act
of Grace, whereby the business of the Gospel is driven forward." Moreover,
he even writes, "[o]f course, the business of the Gospel may be driven
forward in books other than the Bible, as for example in the famous Bay Psalm
Book, printed in 1640 and generally regarded as America's first best
seller" (p. 32). An important book, don't miss it!

I John 4:7 (#18) Worldwide
Calvinistic Unity and Loving One Another (1997)
An amazing sermon which exposes all unity which
is not based on truth (e.g. in groups like Promise Keepers) as necessarily
based on lies -- and as treason against King Jesus! Defends the Reformation
view of visible and covenanted unity and uniformity from Scripture, and from
pertinent quotes from Calvin (during first Reformation), Henderson (the second
Reformation architect of the Solemn League and Covenant), and others. Exhibits
how Reformed teaching has always viewed the real schismatics (whether in the majority
or minority) as those who press "independent denominationalism" and
as those who tolerate a sinful multiformity -- against the national
establishment of the one true Reformed religion. Calvin and the Geneva
Presbytery of his day even counseled excommunication and exile for those that
would not swear to their "covenanted uniformity" in upholding the Geneva
Confession of 1536 (cf. Calvin, Covenanting and Close Communion by Reg Barrow, free
at: http://www.swrb.com/newslett/actualnls/CalvinCC.htm ). Moreover, Price shows
how our scandalous modern multiformists (which includes the leaders of most
so-called "conservative Presbyterian" denominations today) teach and
act in direct opposition to Christ's high priestly prayer in John 17, as well
as the high standard of visible unity that will one day be attained worldwide
(as seen in the prophetic words found in Zechariah 14:9: "And the LORD
shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his
name one"). Furthermore, the portion of this
sermon dealing with loving the brethren is one of the most convicting practical
sections of a contemporary sermon that we have ever heard. Such
preaching is extremely humbling, calculated to exalt Christ and His truth, and
to drive sinful human beings to the throne of grace -- seeking everlasting
mercy and forgiveness in the only place that it can truly be found. In short, Price calls us back to our first love
(individually) and to the biblical attainments of our covenanted forefathers
(corporately). It is unlikely that you will find modern preaching
much better than this.

I John 5:10-13 (#24)
Assurance: How To Be Certain of Your Salvation (1998)
This is the best sermon we have
ever heard on the doctrine of assurance. It contrasts Papist blasphemy
and Arminian heresy on this point (from some of their official documents) with
the biblical position of the Reformation (citing the classic landmark
statements on assurance from the Westminster Confession of Faith). It
lays out the clear Scriptural provisions that God has made for every Christian
to enjoy the full assurance of faith, and thus enjoy close communion with
Christ throughout their earthly sojourn. Besides being a
great encouragement to believers, this tape can also be used as a helpful
evangelistic tool. Finally, if you, or anyone you know, has ever
struggled with assurance (and there are few Christians that haven't) then this
is a sermon that you should not pass by.

Versus the Beast; and, the Basis for Civil Resistance (1996)
This
is the best modern testimony for the biblical principles of civil magistracy --
which were so prominent during the height of the second Reformation -- that we
have seen.
Price documents the teachings of many of the major Reformers (and some of the
church fathers) and in an easy reading manner simplifies what can at times become
a very complex subject. This particular Reformation message, proclaiming
Christ's Kingship over the nations (and the practical outworking of the same),
has been buried from the view of the general public for some time now, but is
once again being brought to light in this very helpful introductory book.
A
sobering appendix has been added (written by a friend of the covenanted
Reformation) which shows why it is unlawful for a Christian to swear any oath
to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution. This appendix also compares
the points of difference between classic (or historic) Reformed teaching and
modern Reformed teaching regarding magistracy and religion. Special
attention is given to the OPC, the PCA and the RPCNA and the changes that these
groups have made to second Reformation confessional standards (concerning
matters related to the civil magistrate). Statements by B.B. Warfield are also
contrasted to the older Reformed views. You
won't find a better easy-to-read and easy to understand introduction to this
important topic -- a topic which impacts directly on every Christian's
testimony for the crown rights of King Jesus!

Reformation
Politics Versus the Beast
An excellent
summary of Price's latest book Biblical Civil Government Versus the Beast; and,
the Basis for Civil Resistance. Here Price lays out the biblical and
historical basis for the most highly developed aspects of Reformation thought
regarding civil government. He explains the biblical view of civil magistracy
and applies it to the present situation, showing why most modern civil rulers
are tyrants and thus should not be given conscientious submission (according to
Romans 13:1-7). Price's list of how modern rulers habitually violate each of
the ten commandments should prove illuminating, as well as his citations from
the searing indictments against wicked rulers given from famous Reformed
leaders of the past. This book also discusses tactics of Christian resistance,
while answering the question: Should Christians hold office or vote in the
present circumstances? This highly controversial cassette will certainly seem
shocking to those who are not familiar with Reformation thought on this topic
-- but it is faithful to Scripture, the original confessions of the Reformation
and the testimony of the covenanting martyrs (who gave their lives resisting
the civil beast and proclaiming Christ's absolute Kingship over the nations).

The
Solemn League and Covenant
Hetherington,
concerning the Solemn League and Covenant (the
epitome of second Reformation attainments) writes, "no man who is able to understand its nature, and to feel
and appreciate its spirit and its aim, will deny it to be the wisest, the
sublimest, and the most sacred document ever framed by uninspired men"
(History of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, [1856] SWRB reprint
1993, p. 134).
What took place during the days of the writing and international subscriptions
to the Solemn League and Covenant has been cited before as a foretaste of the
millennial glory to come. The Reformed Presbytery writes, "These modern
pigmies are too far dwarfed in intellectual stature to measure the altitude, of
our glorious Covenanted Reformation -- a Reformation which, imbedded in the law
and the covenant of God, has already brought civil and ecclesiastical freedom
to many millions; and which is doubtless destined to be laid in the foundation
of reconstructed society in the millennial period of the world" (A
Short Vindication of Our Covenanted Reformation, [1879] SWRB reprint
1996, p. 4).
In this lecture
Price gives a brief history of the three major causes leading up to the Solemn
League and Covenant. These were:
1.) the erroneous beliefs
and practices associated with the so-called divine right of Kings;
2.) the apostasy of Prelacy
in doctrine (e.g. the Arminianism of Rome), worship (tolerating and introducing
anti-regulativist Romish superstitions), and government (against the divine
right of Presbyterianism) -- all three of these areas being a practical denial
of sola Scriptura
in that man ordained elements were idolatrously adopted over those clearly
prescribed in Scripture;
3.) the desire of the
Reformers for a covenanted Presbyterian uniformity in church and state. Price
shows how many of the national Protestant churches of the day (outside of the
British Isles) were also looking into swearing this covenant (including the
Netherlands, France, Switzerland and Sweden), as a means to biblical unity and
uniformity.
In fact, this
covenant was framed (primarily by Alexander Henderson) with the intention of
uniting Protestants worldwide. As Price shows, this goal quickly unraveled with
the coming to power of that Judas of the Covenant
(Cromwell), his army and the Independents. The descending obligation of
this covenant is also covered, and application is made to modern nations (like
the USA, Canada, etc.) who are the national posterity of the original
covenanters. Application is also made to the apostate modern church (and Price
names names). It is also shown how this covenant was a term of communion in the
church and how negative civil sanctions were to be applied to those who
publicly opposed the Solemn League and Covenant -- students could not even
enter college without proof of subscription. Price uses various historical
citations from The Acts of the General Assemblies of the Church of Scotland
From the Year 1638 to the Year 1649 Inclusive (available from SWRB as a rare bound
photocopy) to demonstrate these historical facts. Later defections from the
covenanted Reformation, such as those by Charles II and William's civilly and
ecclesiastically corrupted Revolution settlement are also dealt with. The
second half of the tape summarizes the six articles of the Solemn League and
Covenant; concentrating on the biblical (civil, ecclesiastical and individual)
responsibilities that were sworn in this covenant. Application is made to our
day and the tape closes with some questions regarding American history and
government and the Canadian constitution. The Solemn
League and Covenant (because it was agreeable to the Word of God) formed the
foundation of the second Reformation internationally (as is seen in the letter
received by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland on June 4, 1644,
from the Scottish commissioners [Rutherford, Gillespie, et al.] at the Westminster assembly; cf. The Acts . . ., pp. 228, 250). This covenant still binds the church
and many nations today, and until these "moral persons" renew this
covenant (in spirit and in truth) the Lord will continue to prosecute the
quarrel of His covenant. Thus, this is an exceedingly important tape as it
explains one of the major, modern causes of God's wrath upon the nations and
the church. When the churches and nations are granted repentance in (or
preparing for) the millennium they will be found "going forth by the
footsteps of the flock" (Song 1:8) and not turned "aside by the flock
of thy companions" (i.e. those that appear religious but are actually a
hindrance to the work of the building of Christ's kingdom, Song of Solomon 1:7,
cf. Douglas' Strictures on Occasional Hearing, [1820] SWRB reprint
1996); and there is no "footstep of the flock" more clearly
distinguished in the bedrock of history (since the second century) than the
Solemn League and Covenant.

Unlawful Taxation &

This sermon gives biblical guidelines concerning
what the Bible teaches about paying taxes
and introduces Scriptural teaching on how to tell if a particular civil government
is lawful or unlawful. The classic Knoxian/Covenanter position defended here
will certainly hold some surprises for most modern Christians. For much more on
this subject see Greg Price's book Biblical Civil Government Versus the

Covenant Theology and Its
Implications (1998)
An easy-to-understand introduction to the basics
of covenant theology. Explains what covenant theology is, while adducing a
number of practical and theological implications which must follow when this
view of Scripture is adopted. Shows how covenant theology is (and was)
foundational to all true Reformation. Refutes
Dispensationalism. Includes overviews (with Scripture proofs) of the
covenant of Redemption, the covenant of Works and the covenant of Grace. In short, Price proclaims the classic Reformed position
on covenants (and the implications of covenant theology) as it has been
declared in the best Reformed Confessions (e.g. The Westminster Confession
of Faith) and in books like The
Marrow of Modern Divinity (by Fisher
and Boston), The Covenant of Life Opened (by Samuel Rutherford), The Ark of the Covenant
Opened and The Ark of the
Testament Opened by Patrick
Gillespie and The Life of Justification Opened (by John Brown of Wamphray). This is the best
single tape sermon on covenant theology that we have knowledge of.

PRICE, GREG
Christmass Condemned By
Christ (1998)
Price
shows how the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ condemns all man-invented holy
days. Scripture and history are brought to bear most specifically
on the celebration of Christ-mass, demonstrating why it is a sin to celebrate
this day. It is also noted that Scripture
never commands the celebration of this day and that there is no evidence that
Christ and the Apostles ever celebrated this day -- in fact, this snycretism of
paganism and "Babylonian" Christianity was not first celebrated until
354 A.D. (when December 25 was chosen, in accord with the Pagan feast of
Saturnalia, as the day of "celebration"). Price also
clearly shows that to call yourself Reformed while you hold on to this Roman
Catholic/Pagan monument of idolatry makes for a serious contradiction in your
testimony -- as the best Reformed churches have
always disciplined those (in accord with Scriptural teaching) who broke the
second and fourth commandments by keeping antichristian festival days like
Christ-mass, Easter, etc.. Citations from Luther, Calvin and the company
of Geneva Pastors, the Church of Scotland's First Book of Discipline,
the 1620 Dutch Synod, the Civil Government of Holland (1625), the British Colonies
in the U.S. and the Westminster Assembly
all speak with one voice against this Romish
corruption. Common objections against the classic Reformed position
are also answered. "Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the
heathen" (Jer. 10:2). For more information see Christmas: A Biblical

PRICE, GREG (RUTHERFORD,
GILLESPIE, BROWN of WAMPHRAY, et al.)
The Duty and Perpetual
Obligation of Social Covenanting
"The
material found in this bound photocopy addresses a forgotten and neglected
ordinance of God: social covenanting. God's people in times of repentance and
thanksgiving, trial and blessing have been a covenanting people. In the most pure times of ecclesiastical and civil
reformation throughout history, both church and state under the mediatorial
rule of Christ have by the grace of God bound themselves together by covenant
to promote and defend the true Christian religion. The first
document adopted by the Westminster Assembly was in fact, the Solemn League and
Covenant (1644). It united the kingdoms of Scotland, England, and Ireland in a
covenanted reformation of both church and state in order to preserve, promote
and defend the true Christian religion (as summarized in the Westminster
Confession of Faith, Larger and Shorter Catechisms, Directory For Public
Worship, and Form of Church Government), and in order to expose and uproot all
false teaching contrary to the Scripture and these standards. Furthermore, it was not
only the desire of the Westminster Assembly to unite in covenant the three
British kingdoms, but rather to include in this
covenanted reformation all of the Reformed Churches throughout Europe.
Consider the goal of the Assembly as summarized by Hetherington:
"There
was one great, and even sublime idea, brought somewhat indefinitely before the
Westminster Assembly, which has not yet been realized, the idea of a Protestant
union throughout Christendom, not merely for the purpose of counterbalancing
Popery, but in order to purify, strengthen, and unite all true Christian
churches, so that with combined energy and zeal they might go forth, in glad
compliance with the Redeemer's commands, teaching all nations, and preaching
the everlasting gospel to every creature under heaven. This truly magnificent,
and also truly Christian idea, seems to have originated in the mind of that
distinguished man, Alexander Henderson. It was suggested by him to the Scottish
commissioners, and by them partially brought before the English Parliament,
requesting them to direct the Assembly to write letters to the Protestant Churches in France, Holland, Switzerland,
and other Reformed Churches. . . . and along with these letters were sent
copies of the Solemn League and Covenant, a document which might itself form
the basis of such a Protestant union. The deep thinking divines
of the Netherlands apprehended the idea, and in their answer, not only
expressed their approbation of the Covenant, but also desired to join in it
with the British kingdoms. Nor did they content themselves with the mere expression
of approval and willingness to join. A letter was soon afterwards sent to the
Assembly from the Hague, written by Duraeus (the celebrated John Dury),
offering to come to the Assembly, and containing a copy of a vow which he had
prepared and tendered to the distinguished Oxenstiern, chancellor of Sweden,
wherein he bound himself 'to prosecute a reconciliation between Protestants in
point of religion'. . . . [O]n one occasion Henderson procured a passport to go
to Holland, most probably for the purpose of prosecuting this grand idea. But
the intrigues of politicians, the delays caused by the conduct of the
Independents, and the narrow-minded Erastianism of the English Parliament, all
conspired to prevent the Assembly from entering farther into that truly
glorious Christian enterprise. Days of trouble and darkness came; persecution
wore out the great men of that remarkable period; pure and vital Christianity
was stricken to the earth and trampled under foot. . ." (William
Hetherington, History of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, [Edmonton, Alberta:
Still Waters Revival Books], pp. 337-339).
The material
presented herein is commended to the reader with the sincere prayer and
confidence that God will again restore the Church of Jesus Christ to a glorious
covenanted reformation -- one that will even surpass that one to which she had
attained at the time of the Westminster Assembly. However, when the Lord brings that future covenanted reformation
it will not be limited to only three kingdoms of the earth, but by the grace
and power of Christ our King, it will be a covenanted reformation that will
encompass all of the nations of the earth (Ps. 2:6-12; Is. 2:1-4;
Mt. 28:1-20) and will bring to the church a visible unity and uniformity that
(unlike pleas for unity today) is firmly grounded upon the truth" (Greg
Price, Preface).

The Apostolic/Reformation Way
to Worldwide (Biblical) Church Unity (7
sermons, 1998)
Seven
astounding sermons on God's biblically ordained
method to fulfill His command for unity (and the great commission)
in the visible church:
1. What Are Terms of Communion? (2 cassettes, $7.96
or only $3.98 until September 13, 2010)
2. What is Close Communion? (2 cassettes, $7.96 or only $3.98
until September 13, 2010)
3. What is Occasion Hearing (or Occasional Communion)? (3 cassettes, $11.94 or
only $5.94 until September 13, 2010)
These
truths which have been prominent from Old Testament times to the days of the
Apostles -- and in all great subsequent Reformations and true revivals
(especially during the second Reformation) -- are clearly, simply and
Scripturally presented. These forgotten or ignored doctrines are once again coming
to public notice in the preaching of Greg Price (and the publishing of classic
Covenanter literature), as well as in the contemporary call for a third
Reformation in which the nations of the earth will once again enter into (or
renew) covenant with Christ.
Moreover,
as Price points out from Scripture, these truths will also be well known in the
days of millennial glory to come. "And the LORD shall be king over all the
earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one
(visibly--RB)" (Zech. 14:9). These sermons give us a foretaste of the
blessings that God will pour out upon His church when she runs "the way of
thy commandments" (Ps. 119:32) and when "the
earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the
sea" (Isa. 11:9)!

Foundation for Reformation:
The Regulative Principle of Worship (1995)
"The central
focus of Reformed Protestantism was its interpretation of worship,"
writes Eire in War Against the Idols (p. 3, $US39.95). Acknowledging this fact in
the idea that the regulative principle is just the
application of sola Scriptura
and the sovereignty of God to worship, Price convincingly argues for
a return to Scriptural purity in worship. He maintains the regulative
principle of worship,
in all its beauty and splendor, as that which came from the hand of God, and as
an indispensable component of true Christian piety.
Furthermore, it should be noted, that "it is also important to realize that the regulative principle
also provides the basis for the positive work of reformation. That is, it not
only requires the exclusion of man-made worship; but it points us to the divine
pattern of true worship" (Kevin Reed, John Knox: The
Forgotten Reformer,
[PHP CD, $98.98).
A antidote against
Arminianism in worship. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. (1 John
5:21).

An Open
Letter to Those in the Indentity Movement (1995)
If Identity is accurate is understanding the New Covenant to be made with only
the bloodline seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, then one would expect Romans 9-11
(which explains God's plan for "Israelites" and "Gentiles")
to especially confirm this proposition. However, Identity's interpretive
principle only brings confusion and disorder to these chapters, as this short
paper seeks to demonstrate.

Micah 4:1-5 (#9 & #10)
Reformation Eschatology, the Millennium and the Victory of Christ's Kingdom (2
sermons, 1998)
The eschatology of the Reformers
(and the Reformation Creeds and Confessions) defended and explained: exhibiting
the prominent place that the victory of Christ's kingdom (in history) is given
in Scripture -- and in the writings of the best Reformers (from Calvin and
Cameron, to Witsius [Dutch] and the Westminster Divines [British]). Also demonstrates how
the millennium (which Price notes may begin within a generation or two) will
include such notable events as the nations bowing to Christ's Kingship civilly,
worldwide unity (based on truth, Amos 3:3) in the church, and universal peace
in the world. This is hard to dispute just in light of the text from which
these sermons are preached:
But in the last days it shall come
to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the
top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall
flow unto it.
And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of
the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his
ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and
the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among many people, and
rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into
plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a
sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit
every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them
afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. For all people will
walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD
our God for ever and ever (Micah 4:1-5).
If you are interested in Reformed thought and
would like a very encouraging overview of the classic
Protestant position on eschatology, this is likely the best tape set
you will find!

Micah 4:6-8 (#11 & #12)
Israel Turns To Christ (2 sermons, 1998)
In
1635 Samuel Rutherford wrote,
O
to see the sight, next to Christ's Coming in the clouds, the most joyful! Our
elder brethren the Jews and Christ fall upon one another; they will be kind to
one another when they meet. O day! O longed for and lovely day-dawn! O sweet
Jesus, let me see that sight which will be as life from the dead, thee and thy
ancient people in mutual embraces (from The Letters of Samuel Rutherford as cited in Iain
Murray's, The Puritan Hope: Revival and the Interpretation of Prophecy [Banner of Truth, 1984,
p. 98]).
Price here sets
forth the classic Reformation position on the
restoration of the Jews, a "system of prophetic
interpretation that historically furnished the Biblical basis for the most
glorious future imaginable for the Jews!" (Reg Barrow, "Publisher's Preface"
in Hal Lindsey and the Restoration of the Jews, 200 page softcover,

Nation Shaking Reformation
Promoted
A classic sermon by a modern-day Puritan! Deals
with the major facets of national Reformation from the Old and New Testaments,
as well as providing historic examples of how and why God blesses this biblical
pattern. Explains the duties of the church, state
and individual in bringing about national covenanted Reformation. Includes notes on the importance of covenanting with God
(individually and corporately) and on the forthcoming covenant renewal (of the
Solemn League and Covenant) in Edmonton. Exposes tolerationism and
religious pluralism as sin, gives instruction on
the "two sons of oil" in Zechariah's prophecy, and provides direction
(from the Lord's prayer as expounded by the Westminster Divines in the Larger
Catechism) on the kind of prayer that changes the world, destroys the work of the
devil, and honors and glorifies God. Reformation
eschatology also gets its due here. This sermon should be a great
encouragement to those that have been given the grace to see the bigger picture
regarding what God is doing in the world today --
and the certain world-changing Reformation that is to come during the
prophesied millennium!

Terms of Communion:
The Westminster Standards
This series
explains and defends the second term of communion in Covenanted Reformed
Presbyterian churches, which is,
That the whole
doctrine of the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Catechisms, Larger and
Shorter, are agreeable unto, and founded upon the Scriptures.
Price
not only explains why we need creeds and confession (answering the question:
Isn't the Scripture sufficient?), but he shows how everyone has a creed and how
such statements of faith are actually inescapable -- for as soon as one
says what he believes the Bible means, he has (by definition) put forth his
creed ("credo" in Latin means "to believe"). There is no
neutrality possible here. Creedalism is an inescapably biblical concept -- or
else you could not even preach (with the hope that anyone would believe your
preaching), which the Bible commands!
Price
also gives a summary of the Westminster standards and the history of this
august assembly, demonstrating why these standards are agreeable to the word of
God. After
showing how faithful creeds and confessions (i.e. human testimony) have brought
untold blessings to the church he gives a history of the Westminster Assembly
(setting the context for the study of the Standards themselves). The doctrines
contained in the confessional standards are then summarized.
Price
also exposes and rebukes much false teaching and false practice (contrary to
the standards) using the specific names associated with each heresy refuted. Here is a list of some
of the doctrines covered in this extensive and fascinating set:
1.
Sola Scriptura (refuting
popery, neo-orthodoxy, liberalism and the charismatics).
2.
The doctrine of God (refuting Unitarianism, Oneness theology [Modalism,
Sabellianism], and tritheism).
3.
God's decrees and predestination (refuting Arminianism, fatalism [Islam]).
4.
Creation (refuting Evolutionism, Pantheism and New Age and Eastern mysticism).
5
The covenant of works.
6.
Providence (against "luck" and "accidents").
7.
The fall of man (refuting Arminianism and Pelagianism).
8.
The covenant of grace (refuting dispensationalism).
9.
Christ our mediator (refuting Arianism [JW's], Apollinarianism, Nestorianism,
Eutychianism [which led to the transubstantiation and consubstantiation
heresies].
10.
The free offer of the gospel.
11.
Effectual calling (contra Arminianism)
12.
Justification by faith alone through Christ alone (contra Rome and the
Arminians).
13.
Sanctification and good works (condemning antinomianism and legalism).
14.
Assurance of faith.
15.
Perseverance of the saints
16.
The law of God.
17.
Christian liberty (against pretended liberty of conscience and the imposition
of legalistic standards outside of the law of God)
18.
Worship (against the anti-regulativists and promoters of will-worship)
19.
The regulative principle (condemning Arminianism in worship).
20.
The Sabbath (taking the high Scottish view)
21.
Lawful oaths and vows (condemning covenant breaking [churches and nations
included], perjury, etc.).
22.
The civil magistrate (against pluralism, false toleration, Erastianism, and for
biblical establishments).
23.
Marriage.
24.
The church (contra popery, prelacy and independency [all of which are forms of
sectarianism]).
25.
The resurrection and general judgement.
This
is the best MP3 audio set dealing with the Westminster Confession of Faith of
which we are aware. The complete Covenanter Terms of Communion set
(from which this set is excerpted) is also available for $37.62 (19 cassettes)

TERMS OF COMMUNION
A Peaceable
Plea for Worldwide Protestant Unity (2000)
Though born in the midst of controversy and written as a result of a slanderous
public attack on the Puritan Reformed Church of Edmonton and Still Waters Revival
Books (in which false charges of schism were laid), this is a prime example of
the godly and pastoral responses that are becoming well known internationally
from the pen (and preaching) of Pastor Greg Price (cf. Prov. 15:1). Price
gently (and faithfully) demonstrates that not only are the PRC and SWRB not
guilty of schism (given the Reformed definition of this term, cf. "The
Reformed View of Schism" by Andrew Clarkson, free at: http://www.swrb.com/newslett/actualnls/Schism.htm [which is excerpted
from the book Plain Reasons for Presbyterians Dissenting . . .]), but that both the
PRC and SWRB represent a small remnant that continue to faithfully proclaim the
classic Reformation message concerning the biblical duty to promote
worldwide Protestant unity. This book also examines the fact that modern Protestantism
is already greatly divided, while bringing to light the forgotten fact that a
biblical plan has already been laid out and partially implemented (uniting
three nations and national churches under King Jesus) by our Protestant
forefathers. Furthermore, the message of the PRC and SWRB is shown to be the
same message preached and practiced by these notable Reformed leaders (churches
and nations) of the second Reformation -- as anyone familiar with the
publishing program of SWRB and preaching of Greg Price will easily be able to
attest. Sadly, it is also shown that those who cry loudest (against the PRC and
SWRB) of schism are actually themselves pursuing the schismatic course
(sometimes adopting Roman Catholic heresies and at other times relying on
Independent views of church government to support their positions -- though
claiming to deny both). This is an extremely instructive introduction to
Reformed thought on the unity that Scripture requires (Rom. 15:6, 2 Cor. 13:11,
Phil. 1:27, Phil. 2:2, 1 Pet. 3:8 , etc.), biblically examining the duties of
churches, nations, families and individuals. We pray the arguments offered here
will be carefully considered by all professing Christians and that our Lord may
be pleased to use this book as a spark that will light the fire of reformation
and revival leading to the day when "the LORD shall be king over all the
earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one" (Zech.
14:9).

(Hardcover photocopy) FORTHCOMING
A Testimony
Against the Unfounded Charges of Anabaptism (1997)
This book teaches us that "(t)he heresy of Anabaptism lives today! It has infected
the modern church with its cancerous errors and heresies: anti-creedalism,
arminianism, dispensationalism, independency (sectarianism), anti-paedobaptism,
will-worship (anti-regulativism), perfectionism, societal escapism, religious
pluralism and tolerationism (anti-establishmentarianism), denial of the
perpetual obligation of social covenanting, pacifism, pietism, socialism,
premillennialism, and a refusal to recognize *lawful* civil government as the
ordinance of God. These unbiblical positions of the Anabaptists were not
tolerated by the Reformed Churches of the First and Second Reformations, and
neither should they be tolerated by any Church today that claims to be Reformed
or Presbyterian" (Greg Price). Far too little contemporary Reformed writing
has been directed against the Anabaptists, especially in light of the fact that
many of their heresies have been generally adopted by professing Christians.
Even the "Reformed" community suffers from this contagion, and this
book is, in part, an answer to the confusion at Credenda Agenda magazine (Doug Wilson
in particular). Lord willing, this book will be an effective antidote to the
"AIDS" of Anabaptist thought and practice.

When Does
the Sabbath Begin? Morning or Evening?
Acknowledging the "binding obligation upon all people everywhere to keep
the Sabbath day holy unto the Lord," this paper argues from Scripture that
the "new day begins at morning." Furthermore, it shows at what time
in the morning the day begins. An important question that effects church unity
and discipline.

classic sermons are at: http://www.sermonaudio.com/swrb
Greg Price's
most recent sermons are free at: http://www.albanycrpc.org/Sermons.htm
Christian
Love is Intolerant ($3.98) Explains how the church shows its love for Christ by its
hatred and refutation of all sin, error and backsliding. Toleration of sin is
one of the great sins of our day. It is widely practiced in the church, state
and family. Based on Rev. 2:12-17, this sermon by Price rebukes theological
pluralism, "unity above truth," the church growth movement, and much
more!
God's Absolute
Sovereignty ($3.98)
The heart of biblical Calvinism practically applied to the individual, family,
church and state. Also deals with man's responsibility relative to God's
predestination. "Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the
dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all
things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in
him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his
own will: That
we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ "
(Eph. 1:9-12, emphasis added).
Covenanted
Motherhood ($3.98) Motherhood
exalted to the lofty and noble position that it occupies in Scripture. Great
encouragement is to be found here for those "mothers in Israel" who
bow reverently before the Word of the Lord, and labor with all their might to
be obedient to this high calling.
God's Love
($3.98)
Love is often best demonstrated in the midst of suffering and this sermon shows
how God demonstrated His love toward the elect in Christ's suffering and death.
Price also teaches us what we can learn from this holy pattern.
God's
Purpose in Suffering ($3.98) Demonstrates how suffering brings glory to God
and sanctifies the individual. Also examines how the civil and ecclesiastical
beasts persecute (unto death if need be) the "women in the
wilderness" as she bears a faithful testimony unto the whole counsel of
God.
Husbands and
Biblical Leadership ($7.96, 2 cassettes) Enumerates and explains the qualities which
mark out a leader in the Bible -- in opposition to much of what the world
teaches and preaches -- and gives many specifics by which husbands will be
helped to glorify God in their Scripturally ordained position as head of the
house. Deals with the true nature of authority, ministry, sacrifice and
humility, while blasting the modern scourges of egalitarianism, feminism and
antinomianism.
Reformation
Politics Versus the Beast ($3.98) An excellent summary of Greg Price's latest
book Biblical Civil Government Versus the Beast; and, the Basis for Civil
Resistance.
Here Price lays out the biblical and historical basis for the most highly
developed aspects of Reformation thought regarding civil government. He
explains the biblical view of civil magistracy and applies it to the present
situation, showing why most modern civil rulers are tyrants and thus should not
be given conscientious submission (according to Romans 13:1-7). Price's list of
how modern rulers habitually violate each of the ten commandments should prove
illuminating, as well as his citations from the searing indictments against
wicked rulers given from famous Reformed leaders of the past. This book also
discusses tactics of Christian resistance, while answering the question: Should
Christians hold office or vote in the present circumstances? This highly
controversial Covenanter (Reformed Presbyterian) message will certainly seem
shocking to those who are not familiar with classic Reformation thought on this
topic -- but it is faithful to Scripture, the original confessions of the
Reformation and the testimony of the covenanting martyrs (who gave their lives
resisting the civil beast and proclaiming Christ's absolute Kingship over the
nations).
Revival of
Family Religion, The ($3.98) This sermon includes much practical application
from Scripture -- given to help parents raise godly families. It touches on
family worship, loving discipline, education, as well as many other areas of
parental responsibility (under God). In it Covenanter minister Greg Price shows
how, generally speaking, the church is only as strong as the families in the
church -- and nations are only as strong as the churches and families that
comprise them. This is a good example of modern day Puritan preaching on the
family.
The Solemn
League and Covenant ($3.98) William Hetherington, concerning the Solemn League and
Covenant (the epitome of second Reformation attainments) writes, "no man
who is able to understand its nature, and to feel and appreciate its spirit and
its aim, will deny it to be the wisest, the sublimest, and the most sacred
document ever framed by uninspired men" (History of the Westminster
Assembly of Divines,
[1856] SWRB reprint 1993, p. 134). What took place during the days of the
writing and international subscriptions to the Solemn League and Covenant has
been cited before as a foretaste of the millennial glory to come. The Reformed
Presbytery writes, "These modern pigmies are too far dwarfed in
intellectual stature to measure the altitude, of our glorious Covenanted
Reformation -- a Reformation which, imbedded in the law and the covenant of
God, has already brought civil and ecclesiastical freedom to many millions; and
which is doubtless destined to be laid in the foundation of reconstructed
society in the millennial period of the world" (A Short Vindication of
Our Covenanted Reformation, [1879] SWRB reprint 1996, p. 4). In this lecture Price
gives a brief history of the three major causes leading up to the Solemn League
and Covenant. These were: 1.) the erroneous beliefs and practices associated
with the so-called divine right of Kings; 2.) the apostasy of Prelacy in
doctrine (e.g. the Arminianism of Rome), worship (tolerating and introducing
anti-regulativist Romish superstitions), and government (against the divine
right of Presbyterianism) -- all three of these areas being a practical denial
of sola Scriptura
in that man ordained elements were idolatrously adopted over those clearly
prescribed in Scripture; 3.) the desire of the Reformers for a covenanted
Presbyterian uniformity in church and state. Price shows how many of the
national Protestant churches of the day (outside of the British Isles) were
also looking into swearing this covenant (including the Netherlands, France,
Switzerland and Sweden), as a means to biblical unity and uniformity. In fact,
this covenant was framed (primarily by Alexander Henderson) with the intention
of uniting Protestants worldwide. As Price shows, this goal quickly unraveled
with the coming to power of that Judas of the Covenant (Cromwell), his army and
the Independents. The descending obligation of this covenant is also covered,
and application is made to modern nations (like the USA, Canada, etc.) who are
the national posterity of the original covenanters. Application is also made to
the apostate modern church (and Price names names). It is also shown how this
covenant was a term of communion in the church and how negative civil sanctions
were to be applied to those who publicly opposed the Solemn League and Covenant
-- students could not even enter college without proof of subscription. Price
uses various historical citations from The Acts of the General Assemblies of
the Church of Scotland From the Year 1638 to the Year 1649 Inclusive (available from SWRB as
a rare bound photocopy) to demonstrate these historical facts. Later defections
from the covenanted Reformation, such as those by Charles II and William's
civilly and ecclesiastically corrupted Revolution settlement are also dealt
with. The second half of the tape summarizes the six articles of the Solemn
League and Covenant; concentrating on the biblical (civil, ecclesiastical and
individual) responsibilities that were sworn in this covenant. Application is
made to our day and the tape closes with some questions regarding American
history and government and the Canadian constitution. The Solemn League and
Covenant (because it was agreeable to the Word of God) formed the foundation of
the second Reformation internationally (as is seen in the letter received by
the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland on June 4, 1644, from the
Scottish commissioners [Rutherford, Gillespie, et al] at the Westminster
assembly; cf. The Acts . . ., pp. 228, 250). This covenant still binds the
church and many nations today, and until these "moral persons" renew
this covenant (in spirit and in truth) the Lord will continue to prosecute the
quarrel of His covenant. Thus, this is an exceedingly important tape as it
explains one of the major, modern causes of God's wrath upon the nations and
the church. When the churches and nations are granted repentance in (or
preparing for) the millennium they will be found "going forth by the
footsteps of the flock" (Song 1:8) and not turned "aside by the flock
of thy companions" (i.e. those that appear religious but are actually a
hindrance to the work of the building of Christ's kingdom, Song of Solomon 1:7,
cf. Douglas' Strictures on Occasional Hearing, [1820] SWRB reprint
1996); and there is no "footstep of the flock" more clearly
distinguished in the bedrock of history (since the second century) than the
Solemn League and Covenant.

Price shows how the sting of death has been removed for the Christian and how
the biblical contemplation of death should spur us on to love and good works. A
sobering sermon, which we hope, all will take the time to obtain, listen to and
meditate upon. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment . . ." (Heb. 9:27).

The Way
Home: Beyond Feminism, Back to Reality
More and more women are finding their way back to the reality of a biblical understanding
of Christian womanhood. Already, many Christian wives and mothers have turned
their backs on "planned barrenhood," the "me" marriage,
"no-fault" child-rearing, careerism, and a host of other nonbiblical,
unChristian alternatives. They have made a conscious decision to return to the
biblical pattern of womanhood. Mary Pride's book is a source of inspiration and
encouragement for every married Christian woman who wants to discover the
biblical freedom intended for her life . . . Before she . . . became a Christian in 1977, Mrs.
Pride had been active as a radical feminist. From her experience as an insider,
she shares a clear assessment of the shortcomings of feminism, and emphasizes
the need to develop a new vision of Christian womanhood which is deeply rooted
in biblical truth (back cover).

A Shorte
Treatise of Politike Power, and of the true obedience which subjectes owe to
kynges and other civil Governours, with an exhortation too all true naturall
Englishemen (1556)
"The second generation of reformers briskly articulated a theology of the
state, with the following seminal works appearing in rapid succession in less
that 30 years: Martin Bucer's De Regno Christi (1551), John Ponet's A
Short Treatise of Political Power (1556), Christopher Goodman's How Superior
Powers ought to be obeyed of their subjects; and wherein they may lawfully by
God's word be disobeyed and resisted (1558) . . . and Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos [or A Defense of
Liberty Against Tyrants--RB] (1579)" (David Hall, Savior or Servant?:
Putting Government in Its Place, 1996, pp. 224-225). We would also add Knox's Appellation
to the Scottish Nobility . . . (titled Reformation, Revolution and Romanism in this catalogue),
though it is shorter than the other works listed above, and therefore covers
less ground. Furthermore, Hall gives us a nice overview of some of the primary
points dealt with by Poynet's Short Treatise, writing: "Among
the topics considered by Ponet were the following: (1) 'although [man] has
reason, yet because through the Fall of the first man, his reason is radically
corrupt, and sensuality has gotten the upper hand, he is not able by himself to
rule himself . . .'; (2) the state was created by the people, when governors
abused their power; (3) 'For the whole Decalogue and every part thereof is
written as well to kings, and princes, and other public persons, as it is to
private persons'; (4) mixed states yielded the longest tenures; (5) Governors
do not have absolute power; and (6) Subjects are limited in their obedience to
the magistrates; submission is not absolute (Chap. 4). Ponet wrote that the
state's purpose was to maintain justice, and the magistrates were also subject
to God's law. Remembered as an early example of Protestant resistance theory,
Ponet discussed 'Whether it is lawful to depose an evil governor, and kill a
tyrant?'" (Savior or Servant?, 1996, pp. 224n). One of our rarest books, 92
pages.

PRESSLY, JOHN
Review of Ralston's Inquiry
into the Propriety of Using an Evangelical Psalmody in the Worship of God (1848)
"Among the numerous and highly interesting predictions with regard
to the future glory of Zion, it is foretold, that her 'watchmen shall lift up
the voice; with the voice together shall they sing; for they shall see eye to
eye, when the Lord shall bring again the captivity of Zion.' For the arrival of
this period of joy and unanimity among the watchmen of Zion, the church has for
ages been employed in making prayer and supplication before God. It still remains
true, however, to some extent, that diversity of opinion prevails among the
watchmen of Zion; and in some parts of religious worship, they cannot 'lift up
the voice together.' And in no part of religious worship does this diversity
more unhappily appear, than in the delightful exercise of celebrating God's
praise.
Some believe, that in this part of divine worship, we have no authority to use
any other 'psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs,' than those which God has
furnished in his word; while others maintain that we are at liberty to use
those which have been composed by uninspired men, that matter of which they
have collected out of the Scriptures. It is easy
to see, that such a difference in principle must exert a powerful influence in
perpetuating division, and in preventing union in the church of God. To
endeavor, in the use of all proper means, to remove this cause of division
among brethren supposes that there is a fault somewhere, it should be the
concern of every one to ascertain whether his principles and practice on this
subject are conformable to the word of God. For on
those who forsake, and not on those who hold fast the 'law and the testimony,'
must the fault or division lie" states the author.
This book, of
180 pages, endeavors to correct this division by
defending the position of Apostolic church -- which was exclusive Psalmody.
This is the second edition, "enlarged by two additional chapters,
embracing a critical analysis of Col. 3:16-17 and the modern history (from the
apostolic age to the author's day--RB) of Psalmody."

The Bible and
Birth Control
Martin Luther once proclaimed that "the purpose of marriage is not
pleasure and ease but the procreation and education of children and the support
of a family . . .. People who do not like children are swine, dunces, and
blockheads, not worthy to be called men and women, because they despise the
blessing of God, the Creator and Author of marriage" (Christian History, Issue 39, p. 24).
Martin Luther also said that birth control was the equivalent of sodomy
(probably because of the likeness between homosexual wickedness and impotent
sex). John Calvin declared that birth control was the murder of future persons
and the Synod of Dort issued a Bible commentary which stated that contraception
was the same as abortion. If you are shocked, by the strong statements from
these Godly men, that really is not too surprising, because Protestant
opposition to birth control has largely been forgotten in our decadent 21st
century. If you want to know about Biblical principles which oppose
contraception, or wish to know what the Reformers and their heirs thought about
this important subject, we certainly hope that you will get this book!

Three more
quotes from this book:
+ John
Calvin in his Commentary on Genesis 38:8-10 states:
"Besides,
he [Onan-CP] not only defrauded his brother of the right due him, but also
preferred his semen to putrify the ground, rather than beget a son in his
brother's name.
Verse
10: The Jews quite immodestly gabble concerning this thing. It will suffice for
me briefly to have touched upon this as much as modesty in speaking permits. The
voluntary spilling of semen outside of intercourse between man and woman is a
monstrous thing. Deliberately to withdraw from coitus in order that semen may
fall to the ground is doubly monstrous. For this is to extinguish the hope of
the race and to kill before he is born--the hoped for offspring.
This
impiety is especially condemned, now by the Spirit through Moses' mouth, that
Onan, as it were, by a violent abortion, no less cruelly than filthily cast
upon the ground the offspring of his brother, torn from the maternal womb.
Besides, in this way he tried, as far as he was able, to wipe out a part of the
human race. If any woman ejects a foetus from her womb by drugs, it is reckoned
a crime incapable of expiation and deservedly Onan incurred upon himself the
same kind of punishment, infecting the earth with his semen, in order that
Tamar might not conceive a future human being as an inhabitant of the
earth."

"
. . .we have found not one orthodox theologian to defend Birth Control
before the 1900's NOT ONE! On the other hand, we have found that many highly regarded
Protestant theologians were enthusiastically opposed to it, all the way back to
the very beginning of the Reformation
. . .those in favor of Birth Control will find no one in the orthodox
Protestant camp for the first four centuries to ally themselves with. (Provan
in The Bible and Birth Control, p. 63)

Annotations (1657); Calvinist:
Commentary
on Gen. 38.9 (by John Ley) - " . . .in that there is a seminal vital
virtue, which perishes if the seed be spilled; and by doing this to hinder the
begetting of a living child, is the first degree of murder that can be
committed, and the next unto it is the marring of conception, when it is made,
and causing of abortion: now such acts are noted in the scripture as horrible
crimes, because, otherwise many might commit them, and not know the evil of
them: it is conceived, that his brother Er before, was his brother in evil thus
far, that both of them satisfied their sensuality against the order of nature,
and therefore the Lord cut them off both alike with sudden vengeance; which may
be for terror to those Popish Onanites who condemn marriage, and live in
sodomitical impurity, and to those who, in marriage, care not for the increase
of children, (which is the principle use of the conjugal estate) but for the
satisfying of their concupiscence."

The
Unloveliness of Lovelockes (London, 1628)
Subtitled "A Summarie Discourse, prooving: The wearing, and nourishing of
a Locke, or Love-Locke, to be altogether unseemly, and unlawfull unto
Christians. In which there are likewise some passages collected out of Fathers,
Councells, and sundry Authors, and Historians, against Face-painting; the
wearing of Supposititous, Poudred, Frizled, or extraordinary long Haire; the
inordinate affectation of corporall Beautie: and Womens Mannish, Unatural,
Impudent, and unchristian cutting of their Haire; the Epidemicall Vanities, and
Vices of our Age" (original spelling retained). "One of the most
famous puritan attacks on fashion and vain self-adornment. Indeed the epitome of
those attitudes which gave to Puritans their popular image. An early work by
the most prolific pamphleteer of his day, but written before he was too
overburdened by the weight of his antiquarian learning" (The English

PURITAN DIVINES
Puritan Sermons Before the
English House of Commons (1640-1641)
This is a collection of Puritan sermons preached
to "the Honourable House of Commons . . . Assembled in Parliament" in
London at various times during the years 1640 and 1641. This volume includes:
"The First Sermon, Preached to the Honourable House . . . at their Public
Fast" by Cornelius Burgess (Nov. 17, 1640); "Sions Joy" by Jeremiah
Burroughs
(Sept. 7, 1641); "A Peace-Offering to God" by Stephen Marshall (Sept. 7, 1641);
"The Love of Truth and Peace" by John Gauden (Nov. 29, 1640); and
two other sterling examples of nation-directing second Reformation sermons. Burgess, in the final
sermon, exposes the Popish and Jesuitical traitors in the land, while also
demonstrating how their treason was the outgrowth of their false and wicked
religion, as well as their hatred for God and the truths of the Reformation. These sermons to the civil authorities were an encouragement
to further Reformation and played their part in rousing the civil ministers to
their calling. They also assisted in laying
some of the necessary groundwork which eventually led the parliament to call
the Westminster Assembly. Furthermore,
they helped to stir these governors to their duty of covenanting the land to
Christ, which was later
accomplished in the international swearing of the Solemn League and Covenant.

PURITAN REFORMED CHURCH OF
EDMONTON (Session: Greg Price, Greg Barrow, Lyndon Dohms)
A Brief Defence of
Dissociation in the Present Circumstances (1996)
This
work explains why Christians should separate themselves from those churches
which deny biblical truth and its implications. It defends this
position using many Reformation source documents. Samuel Rutherford has
been especially misunderstood concerning separation. Examples
of misleading and seriously flawed presentations of Rutherford's position on
the church and separation have been seen in Walker's The Theology and
Theologians of Scotland 1560-1750,
Bacon's The Visible Church and Outer Darkness and a host of other works -- all of which overlook
foundational second Reformation truths set forth by Rutherford and his fellow
Covenanters. This book clearly demonstrates, from Rutherford's own
actions and teaching (during the Protester/Resolutioner controversy in the
Scottish church), how far off many previous works on this subject have been.
One example,
given by the Puritan Reformed elders (below), exhibits
Rutherford's (and the other Protesters) stand regarding covenanting, close
communion and separation,
In
fact, the issue of faithfulness to the covenants actually rent the Church of
Scotland into two parties so that the Protesters declared the Assemblies of the
Resolutioners (the covenant-breaking party that developed out of the Engagers)
to be unconstitutional and pretended Assemblies. The covenants were obvious terms of communion, for
Protesters and Resolutioners refused to meet in the same General Assemblies
together. Protesters did not
recognize the unlawful courts of the Resolutioner Assemblies and would not
attend them when cited to appear. Protesters were deposed from the ministry by
Resolutioner Assemblies when they refused to recognize their lawful authority
to rule on behalf of Christ.
It
[the joint General Assembly of Protesters and Resolutioners--PRC] met in St.
Andrews on 16th July. . . . Rutherford, and other
twenty-one sympathisers, protested against the meeting as unconstitutional.
. . . There [later at Dundee, where the General Assembly of Protesters, who had
separated themselves from the Resolutioners, was now meeting--PRC], on 22nd
July [1651--PRC], Rutherford's cogent Protest declining the Assembly was read. Balcarres [a
Resolutioner-- PRC] in vain demanded that the twenty-two absent Protesters
should be reported for civil punishment for their reflections on the King,
Parliament, and Church. The Assembly [of Resolutioners--PRC] ordered
Presbyteries to deal with them. It was ultimately agreed to cite [James--PRC]
Guthrie, Patrick Gillespie, James Simson, James Naismith, and John Menzies. They did not compear
[i.e. appear at the Resolutioner assembly--PRC]. The [Resolutioner--PRC]
Assembly deposed Guthrie, Gillespie, and Simson, suspended Naismith, and
referred Menzies to the Commission. After the meeting of the Assembly at St.
Andrews, a work was published entitled A Vindication of the Freedom and
Lawfulness of the late Assembly [by James Wood, a Resolutioner--PRC], etc. This was answered by The Nullity of the Pretended
Assembly at Saint Andrews and Dundee
[signed by 40 Protesters including Rutherford and Guthrie--PRC](Hewison,
The Covenanters,
Vol. II, pp. 34,35, emphases added).
Separate Assemblies of Protesters and Resolutioners met in 1652
and in 1653 in Edinburgh.
The Protesters declared the Assembly of the
Resolutioners in 1652 to be "unlawful, unfrie, and unjust"
(Hewison, The Covenanters, Vol. II, p. 43). It is worthy to be noted that
the issue between the Protesters and the Resolutioners did not deal at all with
the propriety of ministers and members of the Church of Scotland swearing the
covenants, but over the issue of faithfulness to the covenants. Both sides
upheld the obligation of ministers and members to own the covenants.
Furthermore, unfaithfulness to this term of
communion (i.e. faithfully maintaining the covenants) on the part of the
Resolutioners led the Protesters to separate from their brethren to avoid
schism and in order to maintain a truly constituted church. They would not
serve with the Resolutioners while they maintained different terms of
communion, neither would they serve them the Lord's Supper (e.g. Rutherford
refused to serve communion with Blair at St. Andrews; and on another occasion
Rutherford and Moncrieff debarred Resolutioners from the table at Scoonie).
Such actions can only be defended if the covenants were terms of communion.
Were the covenants biblical terms of communion? We testify that they were and
still are biblical terms of communion. To affirm otherwise is in effect to
charge the faithful covenanters (Protesters) of the Second Reformation with sin
and to undermine their covenanted reformation and the biblical presbyterianism
they taught and practiced.
The following
excerpt gives a short synopsis of those truths which this book seeks to
vindicate. The elders of The Puritan Reformed Church write,
"Though
it is not necessary that a truly constituted church be absolutely pure as to
the doctrine taught or embraced, as to the ordinances administered, or the
public worship performed, it is, however, necessary that its constitution be
founded upon and agreeable to the Word of God and that its constitution reflect
the light attained to by the purest of Reformed Churches (for all reformation
must be biblical reformation if it is reformation at all, otherwise it is not a
reformation but a deformation, cf. Phil. 3:16). Wherefore,
to adopt a constitution that corrupts the light of Scripture or the light of
reformation is to adopt a false constitution. A false constitution renders a
church and its courts unconstitutional. When the Confession of Faith
(25:4) speaks of degrees of purity among particular churches within the
"catholick church", we believe it designates degrees of purity within
truly constituted churches. For example, though the church of Corinth was
plagued with division, immorality, and false doctrine promoted by some within
the church (and therefore manifested a lesser degree of purity than other truly
constituted churches, cf. the church of Smyrna in Rev. 2:8-11), it was,
nevertheless, a truly constituted church for it was constituted by apostolic
authority (with apostolic doctrine, apostolic worship, apostolic government,
and apostolic discipline). Thus, for a church to
constitutionally adhere to Arminianism, Dispensationalism, or Charismatic
experientialism (false doctrine), singing uninspired hymns or using
instrumental music in public praise (false worship), Episcopacy or Independency
(false government), or unrestricted communion (false discipline) is to qualify
as a constitutionally false church. That is not to say that there
are no believers in churches that are not truly constituted (there may be many
in some cases). Nor is it to imply that ministers or elders within those
churches do not courageously stand for many truths taught in Scripture. It is simply to say that authority to rule in the church
must come from Christ, and if a church does not have a constitution of which He
approves (as King of His church), then there is no lawful authority to rule or
to administer the ordinances on His behalf."
This
book is the best short introduction to questions regarding the visible church
and separation which we list.

Covenanted Uniformity: The
Protestant Remedy for Disunity
These tapes, read by Larry Birger, are chapter 3
in Greg Barrow's The Covenanted Reformation Defended (free at: http://www.swrb.com/newslett/actualnls/misrep3.htm ). They set forth the
scriptural, Protestant view of public social covenanting, showing how the
National Covenant of Scotland and the Solemn League and Covenant of England,
Scotland and Ireland bind us today, and how the renewal of these will heal the
deplorable disunity of the Church. "Cardinal
doctrines of Protestantism" (to borrow the words of Charles Hodge) such as
the doctrine of churches and nations being "moral persons" are
clearly explained, and the separationist "deep pit of covenant
breaking" into which the modern Church has fallen is laid open and a
helping hand extended. A must for those wishing to understand the
biblical doctrine of covenanting, and the principles and practice of our
Protestant forefathers!

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