It holds some of the most priceless Reformed works of God-centered and Christ-glorifying truth that were ever penned. Most students, ministers and scholars of the Bible would never personally acquire even half the literal number of books on the Puritan Hard Drive, much less the extreme caliber of its contents. In Gods providence modern day Christians have been chosen to be the recipients of both a theological and practical blessing. May we not squander it. - Dr. Matthew McMahon, Pastor, Author, Theologian, Seminary Professor, A Puritans Mind Web Site, etc. - Dr. McMahon, A Puritans Mind (Pastor, Author, Seminary Professor, etc.)ow.ly/fPY4o History of the Assembly at Westminster by Greg Price (Free MP3) Covenanter & Puritan History Free MP3 at sermonaudio/sermoninfo.asp?SID=1160161639 Exclusive Psalmody 6/7 (& the Westminster Standards) Greg Price - Puritan Worship - 53 min Ephesians 5:19 - Still Waters Revival Books Free MP3 at sermonaudio/sermoninfo.asp?SID=6180151425 _____________ 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 Redeemers 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. On 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. - William Hetherington, The History of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, [Edmonton, Alberta: Still Waters Revival Books], pp. 337-339. _______ Some of the earlier sermons in the 34 volume set of Puritan Fast Sermons (1640 to 1653) at ow.ly/zSE21) drive home the same points in the quotation above. History of the Westminster Assembly of Divines by William Hetherington (13 Free MP3s) puritandownloads/history-of-the-westminster-assembly-of-divines-by-william-hetherington-13-free-mp3s-free-book-etc/ William Hetheringtons History of the Westminster Assembly of Divines is the best easy-reading historical account published concerning this unsurpassed Assembly. Hetherington covers the period from 1531 to 1662. Many consider this era a historical high water mark for doctrinal and practical Puritan precision. Also included is a chapter on the theological productions of the Westminster Assembly and six valuable appendices (one containing six biographical notices of the Scottish Commissioners including Rutherford, Gillespie, Henderson and Baillie). This work is indispensable for understanding the work accomplished by the Westminster Assembly, Presbyterian and Independent history, Oliver Cromwell and much more. Anyone interested in the work of the Westminster Assembly -- and the men, teaching and events which were at the heart of this Puritan revolution against the forces of Antichrist -- should read this book at least once.puritandownloads/history-of-the-westminster-assembly-of-divines-by-william-hetherington-13-free-mp3s-free-book-etc/ I received it (the Puritan Hard Drive - ed.) yesterday and am blown away by it! It is simple to set up and there is a tremendous amount of material available that will last me for years as I go through it all. The search tools are, by themselves, well worth the price of the Puritan Hard Drive. It makes finding authors, topics and documents incredibly easy and fast. (The speed itself is amazing!) I also find the ability to copy from any of the (searchable - ed.) PDFs and paste into whatever .doc I happen to have open to be extremely useful. Im also glad to see that there are audio sermons/teachings (MP3s - ed.), as well as WMVs (videos - ed) from a variety of speakers and preachers as this provides a well-rounded approach to my own theology. ... The Puritan Hard Drive is a tremendous asset to my library and a huge time-saver for my own learning, preaching, teaching and counseling. Thank you ever so much for doing this. - Kevin Guillory (Protestant Pastor who was formerly a Roman Catholic priest) _______ William Hetherington, concerning the Solemn League and Covenant (the epitome of second Reformation attainments), also comments that 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. - The History of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, 1856, SWRB reprint 1993, p. 134)puritandownloads/history-of-the-westminster-assembly-of-divines-by-william-hetherington-13-free-mp3s-free-book-etc/ The Puritan Hard Drive is the best resource money can buy. It is easy, simple to use and the search feature cut down my time searching web pages that had absolutely nothing to do with the query I typed into the search engine. Not to mention a lot of the material is not accessible on the Internet. To have so many books and articles at my fingers-tips is both truly amazing and a blessing. If you love the Puritans and Reformed theology, then the Puritan Hard Drive is a resource that you cant live without. - Pastor Jerry Johnson, President of Nicene Council, Seminary Professor, Author, Video Producer, etc. ow.ly/fPY4o All that learning the most profound and extensive, intellect the most acute and searching, and piety the most sincere and earnest, could accomplish, was thus concentrated in the Westminster Assemblys Confession of Faith, which may be safely termed the most perfect statement of Systematic Theology ever framed by the Christian Church. - William Hetherington, The History of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, p. 345, SWRB Reprint,puritandownloads/history-of-the-westminster-assembly-of-divines-by-william-hetherington-13-free-mp3s-free-book-etc/ The Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) is the greatest, most accurate, and most biblical of all the creeds of the Christian church. The church of Christ cannot be creedless and live. Especially in an age of doubt and confusion, it is her duty to define and proclaim the one true faith. Nowhere has the Reformed church done this so effectively as in the Westminster family of documents. The Westminster Standards represent Reformed thinking at its purest and best. The Westminster Standards were intended, as part of the covenanted reformation taking place during its compilation, to be the binding confessional standard for every individual, family, school, university,church, court, and legislature in England, Scotland and Ireland - and in all his majestys dominions (including Canada, the United States, Australia, etc.). The Westminster standards were produced in fulfillment of the Solemn League and Covenant, an international covenant with God and some of the most powerful nations on earth at the time of its publication. This Solemn League and Covenant and the Westminster Standards were produced to provide the blueprint for all levels of society to come into obedience to the Word of God in its fullness. - Cited from the Further Study section of Greg Barrows The Covenanted Reformation Defendedreformedpresbytery.org/books/covrefdf/covrefdf.htm Wow! Im impressed! Not just by the wealth of material on it but by the ease of use. If you can use Windows file Explorer or look for something on a USB memory stick then you can use the Puritan Hard Drive; it really is that simple. The software makes looking up authors, books and subjects so simple. You can also copy the files to read on a smart phone or tablet. To anyone thinking of buying their own Puritan Hard Drive -- Id say GET IT! The material Ive read so far has literally changed my life. - Phil Gibson, South Wales, UK (Pastor, Missionary, etc.) ow.ly/fPY4o But the man who penetrates a little deeper into the nature of those unrevealed but powerful influences which move a nations mind, and mould its destinies, will be ready to direct his attention more profoundly to the objects and deliberations of an assembly which met at a moment so critical, and was composed of the great master-minds of the age; and the theologian who has learned to view religion as the vital principle of human nature, equally in nations and in the individual man, will not easily admit the weak idea, that such an assembly could have been an isolated event, but will be disposed earnestly to inquire what led to its meeting, and what important consequences followed. And although the subject has not hitherto been investigated with such a view, it may, we trust, be possible to prove, that it (the Westminster Assembly--RB) was the most important event in the century in which it occurred; and that it has exerted, and in all probability will yet exert, a far more wide and permanent influence upon both the civil and the religious history of mankind than has generally been even imagined. - William Hetherington, History of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, p. 17, emphases added (SWRB Reprint) puritandownloads/history-of-the-westminster-assembly-of-divines-by-william-hetherington-13-free-mp3s-free-book-etc/ It is like the treasures that were taken out of Solomons temple. It is packed with such knowledge, understanding and so much wisdom I can fully understand how our Puritan forefathers walked in such fear of the Lord that they sought His and only His will to be done in their lives. I was struggling with life in general and felt that I was slipping so far away from God that I just could not see the way back, when I started looking into the Puritan Hard Drive. I was short on finances but willing to part with a treasured Matthew Henry 5 volumes in order to pay for the Puritan Hard Drive. Well only just after a month of continuously looking into the Puritans (on the Puritan Hard Drive - ed.), reading some and listening to the audio I feel that the Lord in His good kindness and His abounding mercy has once again assured me of His wonderful gracious Love towards His own. Ive got other Christian teaching material but nothing compares to what the Lord has done using Still Waters Revival Books to bring these books together and putting them all in one small compact 21st century device. It is TRULY amazing. I am the very least of all true Christians and what the Puritan Hard Drive has done for my spiritual revival is so wonderfully great, I wholeheartedly recommend getting this Puritan Hard Drive at whatever cost. - Paul Blyth, Plymouth, England (UK) Is the singing of only Psalms a confessional matter? It is if one subscribes to the Westminster Standards as Subordinate Standards. For The Westminster Confession of Faith:21:5; The Directory For the Public Worship of God: Of Singing of Psalms; The Metrical Psalter produced by the Westminster Assembly and approved by the Church of Scotland contained only the 150 Psalms and allowed for none other to be used in public worship. These considerations ought to settle the question as to whether exclusive psalmody was the position of the Westminster Assembly. In the debate that occurred at the Westminster Assembly regarding the singing of psalms in public worship, there was never any recorded debate about the singing of any other songs (whether inspired or uninspired) than those inspired songs found in the Psalter (cf. Minutes Of The Sessions Of The Westminster Assembly Of Divines, ed. Mitchell and Struthers, Still Waters Revival Books, 1874, 1991, pp. xxxvii, 20, 21, 23, 77, 131, 163, 216, 221, 222, 418, on the Puritan Hard Drive PuritanDownloads/swrb-puritan-hard-drive.html). The only debate surrounding the singing of psalms related to which version of the psalms to sing (whether Bartons or Rouses), not to whether the Psalter ought to be the only hymnbook of the Christian Church. The Puritan Hard Drive is an exquisite piece of work. ... Truly, if a Christian wants to invest wisely in his own growth, this is the best investment he can make at this time.
