SWRB CD comment from Dr. McMahon:
"I
have been systematically working through reading the Puritan and Reformed CDs I
purchased.
I must say, there is nothing like them
available anywhere.
It is the most amazing collection of works I
know of in one package to date.
In
my opinion, it far surpasses Ages Software and their collections.*
The
Puritan and Reformed material presented on these CDs is exceptional.
I
am continually amazed at the depth and breadth of information in both
collections, and the rarity of works that I now have at my fingertips.
You
have done an immeasurable service for the Kingdom of Christ in making these CDs
available, and every pastor and theologian should own them without question
(they would be foolhardy to pass them by)."

* It is SWRB's
opinion that Ages has done an excellent job in making various Reformed works
available on CD, so much so that we also distribute a number of their CDs at
discounts. Thus, please don't make more out of our publishing this comment than
is warranted, as this is a comment we received from one of our customers and it
expresses his opinion. As for Ages' work, we rejoice whenever the truth is
published, whether through others or through SWRB (as we play only a very small
part in the revival of classic Reformation, Puritan and Covenanter thought that
is now taking place worldwide through God's marvelous grace). The publication
of the best Reformers and Puritans of the past is one of the greatest needs of
our time, as this extends the blessings that come through faithful preachers
and authors into our day and into the future. Lord willing, the growth in the
publishing of faithful works from the past will help stem the tide of the great
declension and unfaithfulness which we are now witnessing all around us, even
(sadly) among many churches that still call themselves "Presbyterian"
and/or "Reformed." So please pray together with us that our Lord will
multiple the number of faithful publishers and publications, and that He will
give many the heart to stand for the truth no matter the consequences (as He
has done for our faithful forefathers, who resisted Satan and sin unto blood
and even to martyrdom in many cases). -- RB.
"SWRB's
Puritan and Reformation CD libraries are an invaluable source for the study of
the history and theology of classic Reformation theology. The collection is
remarkable not only for depth of content, but also for the rarity of many of
the works. Most seminary libraries will not have even a percentage of the works
available on these CD-ROMs. I cannot imagine anyone working in Reformation /
historical theology that would not want to use the Puritan and Reformed
libraries!"

"I
just received your CD collection. One bit of advice: you should instruct your
customers to take about 1 week off just to peruse the tables of contents for
these CD's, followed by another week off, in order to recover from the
state of shock in which they will find themselves.
In
all seriousness, this collection is almost impossible to describe. It has to be
seen to be believed. As a pastor, my library has just increased
dramatically.
As a Ph.D. student in Puritan and Post-Reformation studies, I have immediate
access to many of the same works for which I would normally need to access
through rare book rooms of theological libraries.
Thank
you for this labor of love. Thank you for making it accessible, both
financially and technologically. May the Lord richly bless you for this service
to his people."
-
Yours for the faith,
Pastor David Owen Filson
Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church (PCA), Nashville, TN
"You
all are doing a wonderful service by making all these materials so readily
available. Having them on my hard drive is BETTER than having access to a
rare book library with all of them in hand... I have found the CD set
invaluable as a tool of scholarship. So once again I commend you brothers for making
it available."

"It's
been several weeks now since I received the CDs and have had some time to
digest some of them. All I can say is, "WOW!" This is truly a
library like no other, and has already paid great dividends not only in my own
personal worship and study, but in my teaching as well. I first balked at the
price, but after seeing the vastness of the material, I almost feel as though
I'm robbing you!
I
pray that the Lord will allow you to get these materials into the hands of as
many ministers as possible."

Full
SWRB CD comment from Dr. Moore:
This
collection of 62 CDs is a truly astounding accomplishment. There is nothing
like this available to the ordinary Christian on the whole face of the earth.
Now,
for the first time ever, ordinary Christians can have direct and near
effortless access to the very cream of Puritan and Reformed, as well as
Covenanter, literature.
These
books are often in fascinating first editions and many are electronically
linked and indexed for the first time. The ordinary Christian may here dig
into a simply staggering wealth of literature, from devotional and sermonic material
to technical and scholarly works. Even in the days of the Long Reformation itself
ordinary Christians didn't get to see this kind of library -- most couldn't
read for a start, and even those who could, would never have been able to
afford to buy even a hundredth part of the material on these CDs. Truly we are
without excuse!
And
the significance of this collection goes even beyond that. No longer do we have
to wait for modern Reformed publishing houses to predict that a particular
Reformation or Puritan book will be sufficiently popular to make it economical
to reprint, or to deem it "safe" enough to be let loose on the modern
evangelical church. Rather, we are now able to see for ourselves the whole
range of the Puritan and Reformed publishing enterprise, including views that
are usually suppressed by most modern devotees of "Puritan" piety!
Buy
these CDs while you can, and find out for yourself what the First and Second
Reformations were really all about! You'll be truly amazed, and, by God's
grace, will grow from being an ordinary Christian to being an extraordinary
one. What they used to say of the Puritan John Flavel's preaching, can be
said of these CDs: they are "hissing hot"!

"This
side of eternity I'll never be able to repay the favor you have done mankind by
bringing these... CDs together.
The
first week of reading I grew more as a Christian reading those rich, pure
Gospel Commentators than I have in 18 years of Christian life. After reading some of
the Puritan CDs I have to get the Reformation set if it kills me. A fire is
burning within me. These... CDs are liable to start a revival fire unseen in
any generation... the Gospel in its pure form is seen in these... CDs.
Sir,
I cant say enough. What a treasure! I'll never be able to repay you this side
of heaven, but when we get there I am sure you will see the rich fruits of your
labor. God bless you for not being money hungry but wanting to see Christians
grow in the Lord... I love you even though we have never met, you have
helped me in my Christian walk tremendously with these... CDs.
I
am not bragging on the flesh, I am just giving honor where honor is due. The
Holy Ghost will take these CDs and light a fire unseen and unheard of. God
bless you all at Still Waters."
-
Email from the USA
"Thank
you so very much for the CDs.
I am amazed at the quality and quantity of
the literature...
I
cannot imagine any other single thing being done by any man or group of men in
the earth today that is of such extensive, present, and enduring value as
this CD work is.
God
be praised that he uses sickly and weak men to forward his kingdom, that the
work may not be mistaken to be wrought by the might of men, but by his Spirit.
His strength is perfected in weakness."

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

Worship: The Regulative Principle of
Worship in History
by Reg Barrow (Discusses
the very foundation of all faithful public worship. Dovetails splendidly with
Calvin's Necessity of Reforming the Church (http://www.swrb.com/Puritan/reformation-bookshelf-CDs.htm). Cites numerous examples from Reformation
history (Calvin, Knox, Owen, the Westminster Divines, etc.) exhibiting the
Reformation consensus regarding the basis of biblical faithfulness in this
area. A good short, easy-reading introduction to this topic.)

Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his
name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto
him, talk ye of all his
wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that
seek the LORD. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments
of his mouth; O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen
ones. He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye mindful
always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant (1 Chr. 16:8-17, emphases added).
This tape was produced by Elder
Lyndon Dohms and his family to help those using or making the transition to the
Psalter of the Covenanted Reformation
(i.e. the Scottish Metrical Psalter
of 1650). This Psalter passed through the intense scrutiny of -- and was
authorized for public use by -- both the Westminster Assembly and the General
Assembly of the Church of Scotland (at the height of her purity) in the mid
seventeenth century. Concerning the care and preparation that went into this
unsurpassed Metrical Psalter, the January 15 (1993) issue of The Original
Covenanter and Contending Witness
magazine cites an earlier article which notes,
Rouse bestowed upon it his greatest
pains. This was not enough. For six Years it endured the scrutiny of, and was
revised by, two of the most learned Assemblies that ever sat in the British
Isles; at a time, too, when these men were zealous for truth and suspicious of
error. Every word was weighed, and every expression made exact, before admitted
into any statement of Biblical truth. They wrote not so that they might be
understood, but so that they could not be misunderstood. This exactness and
conscientiousness they carried with them in their translation of the Psalms. In
versifying them, they labored not to clothe the mind of the Spirit in poetic
finery, but to cause the muse to bow to the exact expression of the Holy
Ghost.... For more than two centuries (almost three and a half centuries
now--RB) they have stood the test, and every attempt to render them more
elegant has resulted in a departure from the exact expression of the Spirit (as
in the case of the present RPCNA Psalter, The Book of Psalms for Singing--RB). Let us hold fast to this good old
version until another proves itself worthy of its place.
Moreover, this Psalter was
produced to further national and international covenanted Reformation -- and to
fulfill the intent of the Solemn League and Covenant for biblically regulated
worship and biblical uniformity. It was crafted with faithfulness to the Word
of God utmost in the mind of its translators and fashioned in the manner most
fitting for ease of use among the general population -- making it a most
conducive engine for discipling the nations. To accomplish this last goal the Scottish Metrical
Psalter provides a
version of every Psalm in common metre (except Psalm 136 -- and even this
Psalm, with a little ingenuity, can be made to fit the various common metre
tunes). With all this in mind it is easy to recognize how (and why) this
"tune tape" has been created to help the contemporary Covenanter and
Psalm singer make good use of this godly and judicious offering -- a landmark
Psalter -- which we have received from the hands of our faithful forefathers.
On this cassette the Dohms
provide us with fifty separate tunes (sung acappella), most of which are common
metre -- but samples of other tunes used in this Psalter also appear (and are
noted by name on the tape before each tune is sung). All the common metre tunes
can be interchanged and used with all of the Psalms in the Scottish Metrical
Psalter of 1650
(sometimes listed as The Psalms of David in Metre in this catalogue). However, because
this cassette is primarily intended to familiarize the listener with a diverse
selection of tunes, only Psalms one and 23 are sung in their entirety. The
remaining 48 Psalms (Psalms 2-22 and 24-50) make use of two to four verses from
each Psalm. This allows the listener to sample a wider range of tunes on one
cassette -- and keeps the price of this tape down (as one is not forced to buy
numerous tapes to cover the fifty tunes offered here). This is also very useful
when it is remembered, as noted above, that all the common metre tunes can be
interchanged throughout this Psalter, as all the Psalms (excepting 136) in the Scottish
Metrical Psalter are
provided in a common metre version. For those who are interested, Psalms 6, 25,
45, 50, 67, 70, 100, 102, 124, 136, 143, 145, 148 are also translated for use
with an alternate tune in the Scottish Metrical Psalter (and at least one tune for each of these
alternate versions is provided on this tape).
As an added bonus, at the end of
this tape, Psalm one is also "lined out" (as mandated in the
Westminster Assembly's Directory for Public Worship), with a short explanation provided by
elder Dohms for the use of this ancient practice. The "lining out" is
included to assist those seeking to utilize the venerable practice of the
church as it was upheld during Old Testament times, the days of Christ and the
Apostles, and during both Reformations.
In short, this cassette is
provided as a valuable tool for those who love to sing God's holy Word, as a
useful aid for song leaders (and singers) in preparing for public, family and
secret worship, and for the listening pleasure and edification of all those who
love to hide God's Word in their heart!

WORSHIP:
BUSHELL,
MICHAEL
The Songs of Zion: A
Contemporary Case for Exclusive Psalmody
Contains one of the best explanations of the
Scriptural law of worship (also known as the regulative principle of worship)
in print today.
For this and a number of other reasons this is one
of the most significant books published this century concerning worship!
Furthermore, it demonstrates and defends (from Scripture, history and the
creeds) the Reformation practice of exclusive Psalmody. It dovetails splendidly
with Eire's celebrated War Against the Idols, setting forth foundational
principles that lay at the very heart of Reformation thought, theology and
practice.
For as Bushell points out, "Purity of worship and uniformity of worship go
hand in hand because they are both founded upon the assumption that the
Scriptures contain clear, sufficient and authoritative directions as to the
proper way of worshiping God. The diversity of worship practice that we see in
our churches arises ultimately from a denial of this assumption, and it
constitutes, therefore, a denial of a central aspect of the doctrine of the
sufficiency of Scripture. There is much more at stake, then, in this whole
discussion than the mere observance or non-observance of a few external
rites" (2nd edition, 1993, p. 3). If you are a
Calvinist and have not read this book, you are missing a real treat!

MCNAUGHER,
JOHN, ed.
The Psalms in Worship
Dr. David Freeman (who was John Murray's pastor in Philadelphia) said that the Psalms in Worship was the most comprehensive treatment of this subject to
be found anywhere. This volume (of
almost 600 pages) consists of material presented at two conventions in 1905,
promoting the claims of the Psalms in worship. Two articles covering each of 27
related topics comprise this volume, making a total of 54 separate papers (all
thoroughly indexed and including a new appendix added by the publisher).
Articles included range from argumentative discussions of a doctrinal and
critical kind (defending exclusive Psalmody, the regulative principle of
worship, etc.), to broader discussions along historical, literary, and
practical lines. This is a one of a kind
publication and nothing else like it is available today.

How Best to Secure a Return
to the Use of the Psalms in the Ordinance of Praise
Superb, strongly worded, Biblical teaching on the proper method of lovingly
bringing peace and purity to the body of Christ. The author contends that
"hymn-singing in the service of praise is in its ultimate analysis a
species of idolatry," and thus must be strenuously opposed. Numerous
practical methods (and the rationale) to promote Psalmody and oppose the use of
man-made "hymns" in the public worship service are given. From
McNaugher's The Psalms in Worship.

ASSOCIATE
PRESBYTERIAN MAGAZINE
The
Ancient and Modern Mode of Singing the Psalms (Sept.,
1863)
Historically demonstrates how
the Old Testament saints, the early New Testament Christians and almost all
Presbyterians (after adopting the Westminster Standards) sang the Psalms by
"lining them out" (e.g. see the Westminster Directory for Public
Worship). Musical instruments, a Papal innovation,
were also unheard of among faithful Reformers and "denominated the ensigns
of Baal." Basically a blast against "all the refined idolatries of
the churches" of the author's time. It also lays out the numerous
advantages of lining out the Psalms -- especially for including
younger(pre-reading age) children in the praises of God.
