English Reformation

The Reformation was an era with many examples of remarkable faithfulness, courage, and learning. However, few Christians today are familiar with their spiritual ancestors, the men who are responsible not only for much of our current understanding of the Bible and the Christian gospel, but also for the massive explosion of the Gospel all over the world today. If we want to continue to bear witness to the truth as faithfully as our fathers in the faith, we need to know their stories. Hannula's book includes 30 short but profound stories of Reformation-era courage.

Theologian and reformer John Wycliffe never had the opportunity to take his doctrines outside of his native England, but he could never have imagined that his teachings would one day travel as far as 920 miles east to Bohemia. In fact, while his contentious convictions aroused much ado....

It is 2019. 500 years ago this year, Ulrich Zwingli began to preach verse by verse, chapter by chapter, from the Book of Matthew, at the Großmünster Church in Zürich, Switzerland. The result was a new birth of biblical church worship, preaching, and government, and the origin of the Reformed Churches. This book summarizes events and historical figures the loomed large in the Protestant Reformation from Luther and Melancthon, Zwingli, Calvin, Farel, and Knox. It covers the German and Swiss Reformations distinctly.

Releasing God's Sovereignty to a Nation is about the discovery of the ancient paths others found and how they learned to walk in ancient ways. These paths and ways are part of the dynamic of the early Church we are lacking today. As many look for formulas or good teaching or preaching to bring change, Dr. Crawford has uncovered some key elements the early Church not only understood but were part of their spiritual D.N.A. This book is the result of two years of pursuing revelation in this area of God's paths and ways.

Since its publication in 1918, A History of the Christian Church has enjoyed outstanding success, being recognized as a classic in the field. Written by the eminent theologian Williston Walker, it combines clarity, unity, and balance in its narrative.

The office of bishop of Rome is one of the most powerful positions in the world. As an ancient institution stretching back for centuries, the papacy has a history that is marked by archaic and modern customs alike. The history of the men who have held this position is fraught with villainous and heroic actions that have left a profound impact on the development of civilization as we know it, both in the West and East.

Martin Luther strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money, known as indulgences, and he confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his 95 Theses in 1517, one of the most important religious writings of all time. John Calvin (1509-1564) was one of the most important religious figures of the last millennium and an instantly recognizable name across the globe. Calvin was an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation.

Dr. Keith brings his experience with family, students, great mentors, and friends to bear on a subject that is crying out for attention.

This book is exactly what the name says, the secret war raging upon Protestants. It is deliberately and purposely only on Protestants even though many Catholics and others died too and will die in the future. It is being waged by the Jesuit Order of the Roman Catholic Church on unsuspecting Protestants and others (all heretics in their eyes and thus to be murdered according to their own oath that is quoted in this and many of my other books). “How do you make war on God?” It is predicted in the Bible: Revelation 17:14 KJV: “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall ...

Scottish reformer John Knox taught that Mass was an idolatrous practice. In 1550, the Roman Catholic church brought a charge against him for this controversial position. He defended this belief in front of the council of the North, stating, “I do affirm the Mass to be, and at all times to have been, idolatry and abomination before God.” His thorough, scriptural argument was so convincing that he was allowed to continue his preaching unhindered.

Contained herein are the transcripts of the trial of Mr. John Bunyan, in which he passionately defends his calling to the ministry against accusations of disturbing the peace and sowing division. Mr. Bunyan is charged with holding unlawful meetings, preaching without permission, and even worshiping Beelzebub. A preface by Owen Anderson highlights how Mr. Bunyan's trial offers profound philosophical insights, surpassing even those seen in the trial of Socrates. Furthermore, Mr. Bunyan's response to imprisonment is presented as a more exemplary model than that of Boethius. Readers will find ...

This history of the Barbados penal system gives a wide overview of imprisonment from the days of slavery until currently. Barbados' history of prisons starts from the days of the slave cage in its capital, Bridgetown which stayed there for 200 years. It then moves to the Town Hall Gaol, and then to Glendairy Prisons in 1855. The bulk of the book covers life at Glendairy: executions, deaths and suicides, riots, escapes, life from the inmates' perspectives, prison culture, rehabilitation and reform and the vexing issue of recidivism. The first of its kind, it is an all encompassing book which...

Bo Giertz wrote this book drawing upon the exegetical insights that he received from his mentor Anton Fridrichsen before, during and after his trip to Palestine in the early 1930's. The book is a third-person retelling of the gospels that brings into account various Old Testament references and the contemporary interpretations of those passages by the Jews of Jesus' day as well as contemporary events throughout the Roman Empire, but most especially those directly affecting the Jewish people of Israel at the time, so that the gospel stories take on new life and meaning for the audience.

The Dark Ages was a millennium, running from approximately 500 (Rome fell in 476) to 1500 AD (Martin Luther’s 95 Theses were written in 1517); being a three-fold darkness: spiritual, physical, and educational. “One must be accustomed to the light, at least in some measure, to be able to judge of the darkness. A blind man can have no idea of the extent of the darkness around him. It is the same as to moral and spiritual darkness. A person must have some acquaintance with the light of scripture in order to discern the darkness around him. Thus, alas, during the ages under consideration, ...

Second Sermon of the series by the renowned 17th century Genevan pastor/theologian, Francis Turretin. Turretin, who has grown popular in recent years due to the republishing of his magisterial sytematic theology: The Institutes of Elenctic Theology, is not known as a preacher by the English speaking world. This sermon series makes Turretin's preaching available in English for the first time. In these sermons, Turretin shows remarkable sensitivity to his church audience and a keen demonstration of the dictinction between the genres of preaching and systematic theology. In these sermons, ...

This is the fourth book in a series of books I have written about the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). I have drawn from other portions of my other writings to have some continuity with my other writings. However, in this particular book I wanted to have the focus upon NAR apostles and their beliefs in apostolic government. I wanted to make a concentrated writing in which people outside the New Apostolic Reformation could understand NARs emphasis on apostles. I have included some quotes from several famous NAR apostles to validate their doctrinal beliefs. Even though I have named them, it ...

What sets the historic Christian faith apart from all other religions and worldviews? Nothing less than the good news of God’s saving grace in Jesus Christ. The Protestant Reformers boldly declared the marvelous message of the gospel: Salvation is by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. Together, these “alone” statements are called the five solas of the Reformation. In this book, Dr. Gabe Fluhrer explains how the five solas give us the heartbeat of the gospel and the road map for the Christian life.
