Christian Focus Publications Ltd Preaching Without Fear Or Favour: Previously
Book SynopsisBorn into a noble Scottish family in the sixteenth century, Robert Bruce turned his back on earthly prestige and wealth to enter the ministry. He was Minister of Edinburgh for twelve years, preaching to the King and the court. These sermons on Hebrews 11 show a truly remarkable example of post–reformation preaching, heard in the Great Kirk of St Giles, in the heart of Scotland’s capital. David Searle has undertaken the huge task of putting these sermons into the English alphabet, translating them from the Braid Scots, so they can edify the church today.Trade ReviewWhat kind of preaching is needed in the churches? Today, as at all times, it is surely preaching which is direct, clear, truthful and appropriately simple. All these qualities are present in the preaching of Robert Bruce whose sincerity and passion break down the walls of the centuries separating our day from his, impressing on us both the nature and glory of faith. -- Stephen Williams (Professor of Systematic Theology, Union Theological College, Belfast, Northern Ireland)Robert Bruce, therefore, was no abstract theologian. He knew the pastoral and missional context of his people and is not afraid to apply the Word of God to their real and felt needs. What is even more striking is how relevant his applications are to us in the 21st century. -- Trevor W. J. Morrow (Minister Emeritus, Lucan Presbyterian Church, Ireland)Bruce’s understanding of the struggles of the as yet imperfectly sanctified believer, always leaves us with hope, and greater zeal to follow the Lord more fully. Read this excellent work, and you will find it will build your faith, and draw you closer to Christ. Your reading and meditation will more than compensate David Searle for the immense effort he has put in to this translation. -- Douglas F. Kelly (Professor of Theology Emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina)David Searle has done us a great service: making available a rich Biblical resource of potent evangelical conviction and powerful pastoral instruction which otherwise would have remained for ever illusive and inaccessible to the ordinary person. -- Frank Sellar (Former Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland)… allows the force of Bruce’s theology, whose training in rhetoric and scholastic organisation of material allows for a prose that is compelling as it is nourishing, to come right through. … a detailed Reformed treatment of a seminal biblical text brought to light. -- Mark Elliot (Professor of Historical and Biblical Theology, University of St Andrews, Scotland)The ‘lessons’ Bruce brings out from the text, appear to be relevant, courageous and specific for his original hearers. Valuable, also, for earnest Christians, who are eager to learn of and live out the enduring principles of faith expounded in Bruce’s searching sermons. -- Martin Allen (Retired minister of Chryston Church of Scotland and former chairman of The Crieff Ministers’ Fellowship) Bruce’s sermons are deeply theological, expounding among other themes the nature of faith and justification. At the same time, they are direct and personal, with amazing pastoral insight, graphic illustration and pithy application. -- A.T.B. McGowan (Director, Rutherford Centre for Reformed Theology, Edinburgh, Scotland)David Searle has performed a most valuable service in both transcribing and translating these materials, thus making them accessible to a contemporary audience. The publication of this work will do much to enhance our appreciation of Bruce as a distinguished preacher, scholar and spiritual leader of his time. -- David Fergusson (Professor of Divinity, University of Edinburgh)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Into all the World: The Missionary Vision of
Book SynopsisLuther and Calvin, the great reformers of the sixteenth century, are remembered for their writings and theological debates, but do we think of them as great missionaries? Can we learn from them for mission work today? The Reformation had a defining and far–reaching impact on the western world and beyond. It shaped the development of Europe over the next 500 years. It not only touched on church life and key doctrinal issues but had implications in terms of ethics, the birth of liberal democracy, education, the arts, science, the economy and much more. This all evolved as part of Calvin’s and Luther’s evangelistic vision. With such a legacy, this vision is worth your attention.Trade Review… a simple yet profound look into the missionary heart of both Luther and Calvin. While certainly concerned with evangelism, theirs was a much more encompassing vision of the gospel: God’s glory extended to the ends of the earth. For those looking to understand and imbibe this Reformation vision, let Brown be your guide. -- Coleman M. Ford (Co–founder of the Center for Ancient Christian Studies, Adjunct Instructor of Church History, Boyce College, Louisville, Kentucky)… considers the way in which Luther and Calvin also sought to bring the truth of Christianity to all spheres of human life, a helpful reminder that Christ lays claim to the totality of life. -- Michael A. G. Haykin (Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)Superb! Calvin’s renewed vision for mission and evangelism with his strategic thinking and initiatives for the advance of the gospel provide an urgent challenge for Christians today. The final chapter with its ‘Ten Lessons for Today’ is essential reading for any involved in church leadership and evangelism. You will benefit immensely from reading this book. -- D. Eryl Davies (Elder, Heath Evangelical Church, Cardiff)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Compel Them to Come In: Calvinism and the Free
Book SynopsisIf we believe in God’s sovereign predestination, how can we offer Christ to sinners indiscriminately? How could someone who knew that no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws them still plead with them to look to the Saviour? The Bible clearly entreats us to go after the lost, so Donald Macleod tackles the objections raised by those who argue that since there is no universal redemption there should be no universal gospel offer.Trade ReviewI always enjoy reading Donald MacLeod, as much for the clarity and precision of his arguments as for the elegance of his theology. Here he addresses an important topic – the free offer of the gospel – with his usual pungency and passion. It will clarify the issue for those who believe in the free offer but are confused by its connection to God’s sovereignty; and it will hopefully persuade those who are tempted to truncate God’s grace in a misguided attempt to exalt his election. -- Carl R. Trueman (Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies, Grove City College, Pennsylvania)Using both Scripture and the history of evangelistic preaching Donald Macleod deals with all the common obstacles that hinder Calvinists from passionately appealing to their hearers to believe in the Lord Jesus. And very effectively too. I found Compel them to Come In searching, humbling, convicting, encouraging, and deeply persuasive. In the hope that that’s how you might find it, may I urge you to make time to read it? -- David Campbell (Pastor, North Preston Evangelical Church, Preston, England)Compel Him to Come In has all the trademarks we have come to recognise in Professor Donald Macleod’s writings: mastery of doctrine, fulness of biblical insight, cogency of reasoning, clarity of expression, and an eloquence driven by the subject matter. At first you will think you are reading a powerful exposition of the free offer of the gospel in the face of criticisms and misunderstandings of reformed theology. It is indeed that. But by the end you will realise that it more. For Compel Him to Come In is really about the gospel itself. A book for all, it is a must–read for preachers, not least because it models the powerful, passionate appeals it commends. -- Sinclair B. Ferguson (Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi)This is one of the most soul–stirring, liberating books that I have read on this subject. Donald MacLeod provides the reader with a necessary reminder to seek to persuade and implore men and women on Christ’s behalf to be reconciled to God. I hope that it will show up in my preaching. I commend this book particularly to a rising group of young reformed pastors who when it comes to this matter of the ‘free offer’ are in danger of being tripped up by their own theological shoelaces. -- Alistair Begg (Senior Pastor, Parkside Church, Chagrin Falls, Ohio)Too frequently the free offer of the gospel is hedged about with qualifications that distort the Biblical picture of the character of God and of Jesus Christ. This wonderfully clear book by a notable Reformed teacher and preacher will thrill the soul of any reader and encourage preachers to persuade sinners of every kind as they proclaim the Gospel to them. -- Rowland S. Ward (Research Lecturer, Presbyterian Theological College, Melbourne)Here we have an antidote to cool, professional detachment, as we are reminded that the business of evangelism is serious. There is a heaven to win and a hell to lose. Drawing from the wells of Scripture and the high–water marks of mission in Church history, we are reminded that the communication of the gospel must be carried out with passion, conviction and persuasion. -- David Meredith (Mission Director, Free Church of Scotland, Inverness)This is by far the best account I have ever read on the free offer of the gospel. MacLeod demolishes all the arguments that would inhibit or restrict offering Christ freely to sinners. He sets the gospel offer in the widest context of the purpose of God and the work of Christ. Above all, he communicates this with an infectious passion for the glory of Christ and the salvation of sinners, young and old. In today’s world this book is desperately needed; it could do untold good. -- Robert Letham (Wales Evangelical School of Theology, Bridgend, Wales)This book will powerfully reinforce the truth that unrestricted evangelism is the product rather than the antithesis of Reformed theology. Without compromising on the doctrine of predestination, the reality of the human condition or the power of the Holy Spirit, Donald Macleod insists that Biblical evangelistic preaching must be directed to all, without qualification, and must be presented skilfully, passionately and persuasively. The gospel is a plea to the lost, sent out with a sincerity which originates in God himself. -- Iver Martin (Principal, Edinburgh Theological Seminary, Edinburgh, Scotland)This compelling new book proves we do not have to choose between distinctively Reformed theology and passionate evangelistic preaching. The universal offer is at the very heart of authentic Calvinism. Grace is rich and free. -- Alasdair I. Macleod (Founding Pastor, St Andrews Free Church, Scotland)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd The Trial of the 16th Century: Calvin & Servetus
Book SynopsisA faithful examination of the role of John Calvin in the execution of Michael Servetus. The execution of Michael Servetus (1511–53) is one of the most debated events in the life of John Calvin (1509–1564). It has left an indelible stain on Calvin’s reputation, and unfortunately, the retelling of the story is often dependent on the historian’s relationship to Calvinism. Jonathan Moorhead here seeks to give a faithful narrative of the role of John Calvin in the execution of Michael Servetus. He examines the life of Servetus, with emphasis given to his education, publications, and relationship with John Calvin. Moorhead also gives attention to the role of Calvin in Servetus’ arrests, trials, and execution. Understanding the extent of Calvin’s power in Geneva at the time of the trial is critical to understanding the events, as is the context of executing heretics throughout history, and in particular, in the 16th Century. This book will challenge readers to think critically about the ethics of telling history, the standards of properly judging previous generations, and the benefits of this study for the building up of the Body of Christ. Servetus’ Education and Publications Servetus’ Arrest and Escape from Vienne The Authority of John Calvin Servtus’ Arrest, Trial and Execution in Geneva Final Considerations Conclusion Trade ReviewThis well researched study demonstrates the situation in Geneva and the Protestant Swiss cantons, forever exonerating John Calvin as the principal complainant and persecutor in the case. The book is a wonderful addition to our collective knowledge of both the times and of Calvin. I highly recommend it. -- John D. Hannah (Distinguished Professor of Historical Theology, Research Professor of Theological Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, Texas)… an extremely helpful study of a significant event of the French Reformation and reveals how the history of such difficult and intricate events should be written. -- Michael A. G. Haykin (Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)… demonstrates that Calvin’s primary concern was not his execution, but his conversion. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in finding out what exactly transpired, and the broader implications. -- John MacArthur (Chancellor Emeritus, The Master’s University and Seminary and Pastor–Teacher, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California)… confronts all those who for centuries have turned Servetus into an innocent martyr and a victim of Calvin’s cruel rule in Geneva. Here we have the whole story and the true one, and thus a different one. The book reads like a good movie, but there is no happy end and there are no winners, except for the historical truth. -- Herman Selderhuis (President, Theological University Apeldoorn, The Netherlands)… I literally could not put it down. Jonathan Moorhead writes in a fast–paced yet thorough style, bringing out key historical facts that not only help the reader grasp the vital background to the execution of Servetus in Geneva, but masterfully corrects some unfortunate erroneous suppositions about that sad event. -- John Glass (Author of ‘A Walking Guide to John Calvin’s Geneva’, and founder of Calvin Tours Geneva)

Christian Focus Publications Ltd The Beauties of Boston: A Selection of the
Book SynopsisThis new edition of the Christian classic includes an introduction from Sinclair Ferguson From the introduction: Thomas Boston never sought a prominent congregation or pulpit. He knew that, at the end of the day, the only thing that makes a pulpit lastingly prominent is the manner in which God’s word is preached from it in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. The Beauties of Boston is a book that has been treasured by many Christians in past generations. It is full of rich gospel truth and health–giving spiritual prescriptions. Part of its ‘beauty’ is that while a big book it is not really a long book, but a series of smaller and manageable passages that will – as The Marrow of Modern Divinity did for Boston himself – stimulate thought, enhance understanding of the gospel, point us to Christ, and strengthen both mind and spirit in the knowledge and service of God. Thomas Boston was born at Duns in Berwickshire in 1676. After studying in Edinburgh, he was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Duns and Chirnside in 1697. Shortly afterwards, he published his first book, A Soliloquy on The Art of Man–fishing, based on the words of Jesus in Matthew 4:19, ‘Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.’ In 1699, he became the minister of the small congregation in a village called Simprin, located quite close to his birthplace. He was there until 1707 when he became minister in Ettrick, and he would serve there until his death in 1732. The collected writings of Boston are found in twelve volumes, and from them the selections in The Beauties of Boston were selected by the editor. Boston’s best–known book is Human Nature in Its Fourfold State. It was published in his lifetime, as were two others books by him: a Collection of Sermons and an edition of the Marrow of Modern Divinity which he annotated. After his death, several volumes of his writings were published, including his View of the Covenant of Works and of Grace, The Christian Life, A Body of Divinity, and The Crook in The Lot. Trade Review… wonderful treasure trove of theology … points us to the glorious and majestic beauty of our triune God that we might glorify Him and enjoy Him forever. -- Burk Parsons (Senior Pastor of Saint Andrew’s Chapel, Sanford, Florida and Editor of Tabletalk magazine)Thomas Boston rises to the top in any compilation of the best preacher–theologians worth reading. These selections from his writings will give you an hors d’oeuvre to whet your appetite for more of Boston’s gospel–centered reflections. A treasure. -- Derek W. H. Thomas (Senior Minister of Preaching and Teaching, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina)Anyone who thinks good theology clogs the arteries of experiential piety is in for a surprise with Thomas Boston. Many of us believe the right doctrines but experience something—or Someone—else. Let Boston’s wisdom on a variety of ‘hot’ topics blow you away. -- Michael Horton (J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California, Escondido, California)Thomas Boston’s sermons and treatises are full of the light of Christ and the fire of the Holy Spirit. Once you read this quotable and spiritually uplifting and convicting volume, I predict that you will want to press on to purchase and read the twelve capacious volumes of his complete works! -- Joel R. Beeke (Chancellor, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan)

Baker Publishing Group Bavinck – A Critical Biography
Book Synopsis2020 Book Award Winner, The Gospel Coalition (History & Biography) 2020 For the Church Book Award Dutch Calvinist theologian Herman Bavinck, a significant voice in the development of Protestant theology, remains relevant many years after his death. His four-volume Reformed Dogmatics is one of the most important theological works of the twentieth century. James Eglinton is widely considered to be at the forefront of contemporary interest in Bavinck's life and thought. After spending considerable time in the Netherlands researching Bavinck, Eglinton brings to light a wealth of new insights and previously unpublished documents to offer a definitive biography of this renowned Reformed thinker. The book follows the course of Bavinck's life in a period of dramatic social change, identifying him as an orthodox Calvinist challenged with finding his feet in late modern culture. Based on extensive archival research, this critical biography presents numerous significant and previously ignored or unknown aspects of Bavinck's person and life story. A black-and-white photo insert is included.

Prometheus Books The Case Against School Vouchers
Book SynopsisShould public funds be used to support nonpublic education? Controversy over that question has raged since the early 19th century. In the 1990s this debate centers on elementary and secondary school tuition vouchers, sometimes called "scholarships," which feature numerous plans with varying levels of aid, but they all involve public funds being spent for nonpublic education. Voucher advocates claim that it's only fair to include nonpublic schooling in public funding for elementary and secondary education, that vouchers will promote diversity, and that school "choice" will improve the quality and effectiveness of education. But are these claims true? The Case Against School Vouchers helps lawmakers, opinion leaders, and the public understand that voucher proposals threaten religious freedom, an already overburdened economy, the democratic structure of American education, community interfaith harmony, and the core of American values.

Faithlife Corporation Pro Rege (Volume 2)
Book SynopsisAbraham Kuyper firmly believed that Jesus Christ is King not just of Christians, but of the entire cosmos. In volume two of Pro Rege, he continues his analysis of the extent to which Christ rules--first in the human heart, then in the life of the church, and continuing to the life of the Christian family. Kuyper believed that it was nonsense to distinguish between life inside and outside of church walls. Here, he shows that although Jesus' kingship has been denied and denigrated, Christ still exerts his power in the world through his people. This new translation of Pro Rege, created in partnership with the Abraham Kuyper Translation Society and the Acton Institute, is part of a major series of new translations of Kuyper's most important writings. The Abraham Kuyper Collected Works in Public Theology marks a historic moment in Kuyper studies, aimed at deepening and enriching the church's development of public theology.
£34.84
Faithlife Corporation Pro Rege (Volume 3)
Book SynopsisAbraham Kuyper believed that Jesus is King of all creation, making it absurd to distinguish between Christian life inside and outside the church. In previous volumes of Pro Rege, Kuyper examined Christ's universal kingship and its implications for the life of the church and the family; in this third volume, he extends his analysis of Christ's kingship and rule to areas of society not encompassed by the family and the church - specifically, culture and the arts, civil society, and government. Created in partnership with the Abraham Kuyper Translation Society and the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion & Liberty, the Abraham Kuyper Collected Works in Public Theology marks a historic moment in Kuyper studies—one that will deepen and enrich the church's public theology. Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Acton Institute is a nonprofit research organization dedicated to the study of free-market economics informed by religious faith and moral absolutes.

Baker Publishing Group Letters to a Young Calvinist – An Invitation to
Book SynopsisWho would have guessed that something as austere as Calvinism would become a hot topic in today's postmodern culture? At the 500th anniversary of John Calvin's birth, new generations have discovered and embraced a "New Calvinism," finding in the Reformed tradition a rich theological vision. In fact, Time cited New Calvinism as one of "10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now." This book provides pastoral and theological counsel, inviting converts to this tradition to find in Calvin a vision that's even bigger than the New Calvinism might suggest. Offering wisdom at the intersection of theology and culture, noted Reformed philosopher James K. A. Smith also provides pastoral caution about pride and maturity. The creative letter format invites young Calvinists into a faithful conversation that reaches back to Paul and Augustine, through Calvin and Edwards, extending to Kuyper and Wolterstorff. Together they sketch a comprehensive vision of Calvinism that is generous, winsome, and imaginative.Table of ContentsIntroductionLetter 1 - Welcome to the FamilyLetter 2 - On Religious PrideLetter 3 - Proud to Be a Calvinist?Letter 4 - Grace All the Way DownLetter 5 - God Owes Us NothingLetter 6 - God Doesn't Even Owe Us an AnswerLetter 7 - Semper ReformandaPostcard from GenevaLetter 8 - A Historical Tour of Reformed TheologyLetter 9 - Augustine, Patron Saint of the ReformersPostcard from PrincetonLetter 10 - To be Reformed Is to Be CatholicLetter 11 - On Being "Confessional"Letter 12 - Beyond WestminsterLetter 13 - God's "Social" GospelLetter 14 - Our Promise-Keeping GodPostcard from AmsterdamLetter 15 - Elected to LoveLetter 16 - Church MattersLetter 17 - Too Reformed for Church?Postcard from SeoulLetter 18 - On Grumpy SpeculationsLetter 19 - Wide-Angle CalvinismLetter 20 - Far as the Curse Is FoundLetter 21 - What Are We Saved For?

Encounter Books,USA God and Mammon: Chronicles of American Money
Book SynopsisAward-winning essayist Lance Morrow writes about the partnership of God and Mammon in the New World—about the ways in which Americans have made money and lost money, and about how they have thought and obsessed about this peculiarly American subject. Fascinated by the tracings of theology in the ways of American money Morrow sees a reconciliation of God and Mammon in the working out of the American Dream.This sharp-eyed essay reflects upon American money in a series of individual life stories, including his own. Morrow writes about what he calls “the emotions of money,” which he follows from the catastrophe of the Great Depression to the era of Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and Donald Trump. He considers money’s dual character—functioning both as a hard, substantial reality and as a highly subjective force and shape-shifter, a sort of dream. Is money the root of all evil? Or is it the source of much good? Americans have struggled with the problem of how to square the country’s money and power with its aspiration to virtue.Morrow pursues these themes as they unfold in the lives of Americans both famous and obscure: Here is Thomas Jefferson, the luminous Founder who died broke, his fortune in ruin, his estate and slaves at Monticello to be sold to pay his debts. Here are the Brown brothers of Providence, Rhode Island, members of the family that founded Brown University. John Brown was in the slave trade, while his brother Moses was an ardent abolitionist. With race in America a powerful subtheme throughout the book, Morrow considers Booker T. Washington, who, with a cunning that sometimes went unappreciated among his own people, recognized money as the key to full American citizenship. God and Mammon is a masterly weaving of America’s money myths, from the nation’s beginnings to the present.Trade Review“Lance Morrow is one of America’s greatest and most enduring journalists and essayists. He is venerable.” —Peggy Noonan "In God and Mammon—this original, wide-traveling, and thoroughgoing essay on the troubled yet unbreakable union of America’s two deities—Lance Morrow displays the cool passion that distinguishes him among contemporary writers. No stylist is as elegant. No one has more to say about an essential subject, or says it more beautifully. A mesmerizing portrait of our gorgeous, corruptible, soul." —Roger Rosenblatt, author of Making Toast “What must it be like to write like Lance Morrow? Not just with exceptional intellect and command of language, but with an enviable collection of mental furniture—just the right reference; the perfect anecdote—and a mind that remembers everything. Goodness, what a talent. What a joy to read his essays.” —Robert Pondiscio, Thomas B. Fordham Institute “Brilliantly effervescent and eloquent. One can hardly wait for the appointment of the first national Prose Laureate—Lance Morrow. What a writer and what prose!” —Lionel Tiger, Charles Darwin Professor of Anthropology, Emeritus, Rutgers University

Iter Press Letters and Poems to and from Her Mentor and
Book SynopsisAnna Maria van Schurman was widely regarded as the most erudite woman in seventeenth-century Europe. As “the Star of Utrecht,” she was active in a network of learning that included the most renowned scholars of her time. Known for her extensive learning and her defense of the education of women, she was the first woman to sit in on lectures at a university in the Netherlands and to advocate that women be admitted into universities. She was proficient in fourteen languages, including Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, Aramaic, Persian, Samaritan, and Ethiopian, as well as several vernacular European languages. This volume presents in translation a remarkable collection of her letters and poems—many of which were previously unpublished—that span almost four decades of her life, from 1631 to 1669. Trade Review“This volume of letters and poems, which comes at a propitious time in Anna Maria van Schurman scholarship, is far more inclusive than anything I have seen, and will interest a potentially large audience of knowledgeable readers. The letters included here, in superior translations, display the art of letter writing in all its facets and possibilities, trace the continued exchange of ideas with members of van Schurman’s circle, and exemplify the scholarly debates of the seventeenth century, with a woman as one of the debaters.” -- Cornelia Niekus Moore, University of HawaiiTable of ContentsIllustrationsAbbreviationsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionThe Other VoiceHistorical and Religious Context of the Early Dutch Golden AgeLife and Published WorksAnna Maria van Schurman and Her Mentor, André Rivet Affairs of Church and State Anna Maria van Schurman as Religious Polemicist Anna Maria van Schurman and Female Members of Her Circle Anna Maria van Schurman and Constantijn Huygens, 1633–1669 Anna Maria van Schurman, Latin, and Letter Writing The Reception and Afterlife of Anna Maria van Schurman The KB CollectionA Curious Addition to the Manuscript (no. 58, 1:71)Note on the Text, Translation, and Cover PortraitThe Plan of the BookPART 1: Letters and Poems to and from Her Mentor, André Rivet, and Other Members of Her Circle, 1631–1652 PART 2: Anna Maria van Schurman and Constantijn Huygens: Letters and Poems, 1633–1669 Appendix A: Part 1 and 2 Chronologies and Chronological GraphsAppendix B: Additional Poems by Constantijn Huygens and Caspar Barlaeus to and about Anna Maria van Schurman, 1635–1650 Appendix C: Additional Letters to, from, and about Anna Maria van Schurman, 1636–1782Appendix D: A Biography of Anna Maria van Schurman, by Pierre YvonAppendix E: Examples of Anna Maria van Schurman’s Latin and French LettersBibliographyIndex
