"As truly as in the
cases of the Nicene and Chalcedonian formularies, the
Westminster Standards mark an epoch in the history of human reflection on the
truths of the gospel — an epoch in the attainment and registry of doctrinal
truth; and as truly in the one case as in the other the statements they give of
the truths that fall in their sphere are scientifically final. All attempts at
restatement must either repeat their definitions or fall away from the purity
of their conceptions or the justness of their language."—Benjamin B.
Warfield, "The Significance of the Westminster
Standards as a Creed," (1897).

adds, 'to be one of them myself, I may the more freely speak that truth which I
know, even in the face of malice and envy, that so far as I am able to judge by
the information of all history... the Christian world since the days of the
apostles had never a Synod of more excellent divines.')

as Various Replies to Other Modern Malignants by Greg Barrow (Greg Price, Dr.
Reg Barrow, Dr. Larry Birger, et al.) (Though set in the context of a debate with one
individual, this book addresses a number of specific problems which plague the
Presbyterian and Reformed churches of our day in general. "It conclusively
and irrefutably demonstrates that those churches which today call themselves
Presbyterian [and even many which claim a more general Reformed heritage] have
grievously departed from the Scriptural standards and principles of the previous
Spirit led Reformations [of the 16th and 17th centuries]. This will become
progressively [and painfully] clear as the reader witnesses evidence upon
evidence of defection from biblically based Reformation attainments (Phil.
3:16) -- and the burying and/or removing of the ancient Reformation landmarks.
Ultimately, when the testimony and evidence [presented in this book] is weighed
in light of Scriptural verities, it is entirely safe to say that the original
Reformers would not only have sought negative ecclesiastical sanctions against
our modern pseudo-Reformers, but in many cases negative civil sanctions as
well," writes Reg Barrow in the "Publisher's Preface." This

Contemporary Schismatics by
Greg Barrow (Greg Price, Reg Barrow and Larry Birger) Contains some of the most useful information you

this impacts modern churches. Also deals with numerous other Reformation
standards which bind contemporary Christians [before God, as subordinate
standards agreeable to the Word of God]. This book, of over 300 [8.5" X
11"] pages, is also offered as a cerlox bound photocopy [$14.98 US funds]

The Scottish Confession of Faith (1560) (In 1559, John Knox returned to his homeland,
marking a new effort in the battle to reform Scotland. Throughout the nation,
Protestants joined together in a solemn covenant, pledging their lives and
fortunes for the cause of Christ. The Queen Regent, Mary of Guise, was a
hardened Papist, and she opposed all endeavours to reform Scotland. The Queen
Regent died in 1560, and the Scottish Parliament convened in Edinburgh in
August, to address many issues confronting the restless nation. In the History
of the Reformation in Scotland, Knox gives a record of the drama which
unfolded. A supplication was laid before the Parliament by the Protestant
nobility, decrying the corruptions of Roman Catholicism, and seeking the
abolition of Popery. The petition of the Protestants exclaimed, "We offer
ourselves to prove, that in all the [rabble of the clergy] there is not one
lawful minister, if God's word, the practice of the apostles, and their own
ancient laws shall judge of lawful election. We further offer ourselves to
prove them all thieves and murderers: yea, rebels and traitors to the lawful
authority of empires, kings, and princes; and therefore unworthy to be suffered
in any reformed commonwealth." In response, the Parliament directed the
Protestant noblemen and ministers to draw up "in plain and several heads,
the sum of that doctrine which they would maintain, and would desire that
present Parliament to establish as wholesome, true, and only necessary to be
believed and received within that realm." Over the next four days, the
Scottish Confession was drafted by six ministers: John Winram, John Spottiswoode,
John Willock, John Douglas, John Row, and John Knox. On 17 August 1560, the
document was read twice, article by article, before the Parliament; and the
Protestant ministers stood ready to defend the cause of truth, in the event
that any article of belief was assailed. When the vote was taken, the
Confession was ratified, with only a few dissenting voices, who "yet for
their dissenting could produce no better reason but, 'We will believe as our
fathers believed.' The bishops (papistical, we mean), spake nothing." The
Scottish Confession of 1560 is a lively testimony to the truth. The Church of
Scotland approved the Westminster Standards over 80 years later; but the
ratification of the Westminster Standards was in no way a repudiation of the
previous testimony of the Church. Rather, the combined documents present a
united testimony respecting the doctrinal landmarks of the Protestant
Reformation. And since the latter standards are among the offspring of the
former Confession, all persons of the Reformed faith should find it profitable
to study the Scottish Confession of 1560." [Kevin Reed's Introduction].)
Communion Catechism
(1592) by John Craig
"John Craig (1512-1600) was a Scottish reformer. Previously a Dominican
Friar, Craig was converted to the Protestant Faith. The Roman Inquisition
condemned Craig to death, yet he escaped and returned to Scotland. In 1560,
Craig became co-pastor with John Knox in Edinburgh. Later, Craig became a chaplain
to James VI. At the direction of the General Assembly of the Church of
Scotland, Craig composed this catechism, which was subsequently approved by the
Assembly in 1592" (Kevin Reed).
Canons of Dort (1618-19) (These Canons, produced by the famous national
synod of the Reformed Church of the Netherlands [which included 26 Reformed
representatives from eight foreign lands] met at Dordrecht. This synod was
convened by the States General of the Netherlands and 18 political
commissioners supervised its proceedings and reported back to parliament. These
Canons condemn Arminianism as heresy. But they do much more than just
reprobating the cancer of Arminianism; they also uphold "the faith once
delivered to the saints," sometimes nicknamed "Calvinism" --
setting forth God's absolute sovereignty and predestination. The popular
reduction of Calvinism into the acronym TULIP summarizes some of the work
accomplished by this Assembly, but other matters were also discussed -- including
22 sessions on church government. After these Canons were agreed upon 40
Arminian ministers repented and submitted themselves to the truth; but another
150 apostate ministers were hardened in their error -- and either banished [by
civil power] or agreed to refrain from their "ministry.")
The First & Second Books of Discipline (The Protestant Reformation gave birth to several
notable documents in the Kirk of Scotland. Among those documents, the First and
Second Books of Discipline grew out of distinct stages in the development of
the reformed Church of Scotland... the (First) Book of Discipline... was
designed as a blueprint to transform the Scottish church and nation into a
society which would be reformed in manners, as well as doctrine. Although many
of its provisions were never adopted by the civil government, the First Book retained
its ecclesiastical sanction for subsequent generations. Nearly twenty years
later, the nation of Scotland was decidedly Protestant, and the kirk had
developed a regular system of ecclesiastical courts. Nevertheless, the kirk was
engaged in an ongoing struggle with the civil authorities over the right of the
church to govern itself without interference by the state. Under the leadership
of Andrew Melville, the general assembly approved the Second Book of
Discipline. This Book treats the rightful relationship between church and
state; and it gives a detailed statement of the presbyterian form of church
government, as it blossomed in the Kirk of Scotland... Although the Books of
Discipline were written over four centuries ago, they contain many lessons
relevant for our own time. [Kevin Reed].)
Geneva Book of Church Order (1556) (The Genevan Book of Order grew out of early
efforts by the Protestant Reformers to purify the worship of the church. These
efforts found local expression in the English congregation of Geneva, and they
formed the basis for Scottish Presbyterianism. [Kevin Reed])
The Order of Excommunication and Public
Repentance adopted by the Church of Scotland in 1569 (The doctrine of church discipline received public
sanction early in the Scottish Reformation. The church of Scotland adopted the
First Book of Discipline [1560] at the outset of the Reformation; and in 1564
the General Assembly adopted an expanded version of the Genevan Book of Order.
Both of these documents set forth the general warrant for ecclesiastical
discipline. Nevertheless, what was lacking was a detailed explanation of how to
apply the scriptural principles of discipline to remedy offences and scandals
within the church. In this setting, John Knox was commissioned to write The
Order of Excommunication and Public Repentance. The Order was reviewed by
several other ministers, and then ratified by the General Assembly in 1569.
Based upon Matthew 18, this document sets forth specific details for handling
serious disciplinary cases; and it describes the process for readmitting
repentant subjects of ecclesiastical discipline. [Kevin Reed])
International
Covenanted Reformation or Schism? (A Reply to Doug Wilson) by Dr. Reg Barrow
Pornography, the Anabaptists, and Doug Wilson's Civil Antinomianism
(1997) by Dr. Reg Barrow
(Pointed but irenic, Barrow decisively refutes the view of Doug Wilson (cf.
"Cyberporn: A Case Study" [Credenda/Agenda, vol. 7, no. 5, p. 11]), many modern Theonomists
and the civil libertarians, that the production and distribution of pornography
is not a crime (and thus not subject to negative penal sanctions by the civil
magistrate). Barrow demonstrates that Wilson's view of civil government (which
logically results in such a monstrous conclusion) is actually a overly strict
view of the regulative principle. This "hyper-regulativism" (denying
lawful inferences, or what Samuel Rutherford calls "logical
consequence") is then wrongly applied to the civil magistrate, rather than
to worship (when rightly interpreted). He also points out the link between
Wilson's view and the principles of the Anabaptists, Libertines and other
antiestablishmentarian forces. With an impressive array of historical citations
(primarily John Calvin, George Gillespie, Samuel Rutherford, and the
Westminster Confession of Faith), and a cogent analysis and application of
relevant Scripture passages, Barrow shows clearly that Wilson's view of civil
government "gives birth to illegitimate offspring in the case of
pornography, contradicting as it does common sense (the light of nature), our
reformed fathers in the faith, and the express commands and approved examples
of Scripture. In short, it is anything but the 'classical Protestant' position,
and anything but biblical." Expressing his belief that many hold to this
erroneous notion of the magistrate out of ignorance, he concludes his essay
with a heartfelt call to his modern Theonomic brethren (and others) to study the reformation source
documents now available (and adopt the historic Theonomy of the Reformation). He also provides a brief list of questions that
readily manifest the socially destructive outworkings of Wilson's teaching.
This is a much-needed treatment of a topic neglected for far too long. Barrow's
valuable contribution is an excellent introduction to the historical
theonomy of the Westminster divines
and is sure to prime the reader for much productive study of the view of civil
government "once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 3). This item is

"The Whole Manner of Worship..."
Worship and the Sufficiency of Scripture in Belgic Confession Article 7 by Wes Bredenhof (1997) (A great work for everyone interested in Reformed
worship, but especially for those with a continental Reformed background.
Dispels the idea that the regulative principle of worship "is something
peculiar to the so-called Presbyterian tradition." This work demonstrates
that the regulative principle of worship was an indispensable and foundational
part of the Protestant Reformation -- being connected as it was to the battle
over the sufficiency of Scripture. More specifically Bredenhof also proves that
"the regulative principle is in fact found... in Article 7 of the Belgic
Confession." Bredenhof writes, "(t)he regulative principle was a
foundational truth in the contentions of the Reformed during the 16th century,
and as such it should not surprise us to find it here in the Belgic Confession.
Moreover, the relationship between the sufficiency of Scripture and worship
further elucidates this significance, for it is the Reformational principle of sola
Scriptura which is foundational
for the regulative principle. Without the sufficiency of Scripture the
regulative principle falls flat" (p. 21). Additionally, the author
encourages the reader to hearken back to the old Reformed confessional
standards [as they are agreeable to Scripture] and to "remove not the ancient
landmark, which thy fathers have set" (Prov. 22:28). This is an important
book for today as the old paths of Reformed worship are under attack from not
only the classic enemies of the Reformed faith [such as Rome], but also, in
many cases, from those (like Steve Schlissel, John Frame, Doug Wilson, etc.)
that pretend to the name Reformed regarding worship, when in actuality they are "teaching for
doctrines the commandments of men" [Matt. 15:9]. Also available as a

"The object of the present work
is to present to the public, in a form that may be generally accessible, the
history of one of the most interesting periods in the annals of our National
Church, by the republication of the Acts and Proceedings, at, and subsequent
to, the era of her second Reformation; and, combined therewith, such historical
documents and sketches as are calculated to preserve the memory of an
important, and, ultimately beneficial revolution," notes Peterkin in his
introduction. This is one of the most valuable publications we offer related to
second Reformation history and the many important questions that were debated
(and oftentimes settled) during this watershed period -- before, during and
after the sitting of the Westminster Assembly. It also contains some
indispensable information on the Protester/Resolutioner controversy (which
reveals many valuable lessons for Reformed Christians today), including
excerpts from some lost books and papers written by the Protesting Covenanters.
The excerpts from James Guthrie's The Waters of Sihor, or the Lands
Defectione, in which Guthrie
enumerates the errors of the Resolutioners, as well as the marks of malignancy,
is one prime example. Other rare Protester documents (inveighing against the
"pretended Assemblies" of the Resolutioners), signed by the likes of
Samuel Rutherford and Robert Traill are also included. Very rare and very
valuable -- a gold mine for the serious student of the second Reformation! 684
