Simply a must-have for any serious student of church history.

This is a super-useful resource and well worth the money. If you want a copy of most of the creeds and confessions from the ancient church, Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Protestant churches, this is the set to own. Schaff also gives helpful historical information on most of the documents. If for no other reason, get it in order to read the Canons of Trent; you will find out very quickly what you believe and don't believe as a Protestant!  

Kelly is an excellent scholar and a clear writer. This is an indispensable book if you are interested in the development of Christian doctrine in the early church. Highly recommended!

A very useful resource getting a grasp of the development of Christian doctrine. A must have for the library of any student of church history.

Scholarly essays on Reformed orthodoxy defending the "Muller thesis." Essays by Muller, Godfrey, Clark, Trueman, and others. David Steinmetz's essay on Calvin is particularly helpful.

Clear, simple, and accurate essays on Luther, Calvin, and more. HIGHLY recommended for the person new to Reformed Christianity and/or wanting to gain a basic grasp of the major players of the Reformation.

A great little book debunking R.T. Kendall's theory that Calvin did not hold to the doctrine of definite redemption. Great reading for anyone wanting to see the continuity between sixteenth century Calvin and the later Calvinists of the seventeenth century.  

If you are interested in secondary literature on the life and theology of John Owen, this is probably the best place to start. Ferguson is a worthy scholar and theologian, and has done a fine job of outlining Owen's life and theology.

Trueman's latest on England's greatest theologian. Particularly helpful is his chapter on Owen's doctrine of justification sola fide. A must read for any student of John Owen or the English Puritans.

Some helpful and enlightening essays from Owen scholars such as Sinclair Ferguson, Carl Trueman, and Robert Oliver. Great stuff for the person interested in John Owen and seventeeth-century English Calvinism.

A scholarly survey of Owen's anti-Socinian, Trinitarian theology.

A thorough and essential biography of John Owen and a helpful commentary on seventeenth-century Puritanism.

One of my all-time favorites. Hatch gives scholarly and readable treatment to the rise of biblicism in American Christianity. If you have ever wondered what happened to creeds, confessions, and a proper ecclesiology in America, you must read this book! 

An excellent book on the chief founder of Westminster Theological Seminary in PA and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. If you are interested in learning about Machen, this is a must-read.
