Reviews of John Ball's "A Treatise of the Covenant of Grace"

Here are two recent reviews of our book

A Treatise of the Covenant of Grace by John Ball

1) By David McKay (professor in the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland's Theological College, and author of The Bond of Love: God's Covenantal Relationship with His Church: Covenant Theology and the Contemporary World)
in the Reformed Theological Journal (2006 edition):

John Ball (1585-1640) is rightly regarded as one of the pioneers of covenant theology in the English speaking world. Indeed the appearance of A Treatise of the Covenant of Grace in 1645 may have exercised a significant influence on the covenantal perspective of the Westminster Divines. It is therefore a particular pleasure to have this facsimile reprint of Ball’s treatise readily available. In the First Part, Ball considers in turn the significance of the word ‘covenant’, the Covenant of Grace in general, and the revelations of the Covenant of Grace to Adam, Abraham, Moses, Israel, David and in the period after the exile. In the Second Part he considers the New Covenant, concentrating especially on the role of Christ as the Mediator of the New Covenant and the fellowship which he provides for his people. Regarding the Covenant at Sinai, Ball departs from the usual Reformed view by arguing that the difference between Old and New Covenants is not that of promise and fulfilment, but simply one of degree and intensity. The nature of the Sinai covenant is an issue that has been widely debated in Reformed circles, with a diversity of views resulting. Ball’s position can now be assessed from the original source. The print in this facsimile is remarkably clear and a little practice will enable the reader to cope with seventeenth century typography.

2) By blogger "Witsius" in Canada in his blog ¡Alarma! Standard :

Despite the trepidation when I began reading this ancient text - I foresaw trouble with the print quality (facsimile), esp. w/side column references, and f/s-type archaisms, etc. I found it, actually, quite easier to read and understand than the McMahon edition of Rutherford (#12, above). Not only that, but I appreciated the original language as, I am sure, most more scholarly (than me) types will. (It seems odd that a 1645 printing would read better than a modernized 1654.)

Passmore and Alabaster

Sometimes when cataloguing a book, it is useful to know over what range of dates a particular publisher produced books.

I'd quite like to get dates for the following:

Alabaster and Passmore

Passmore and Alabaster

Marshall Brothers

Morgan and Scott (and any predecessors)

Marshall Morgan and Scott (additional info 27/08/07: from books we've had catalogued for sale in the past it looks like the merger could have happened some time between 1928 and 1930, possibly - by Googling - 1929)

Pickering and Inglis

Marshall Pickering

If anyone can provide us with this information I'd post it up on the blog for other people's reference, and also, if it is verifiable and I got round to it, perhaps on Wikipedia too.

Meanwhile, here is an interesting page about the history of Alabaster Passmore:



Further to above I have now received the following information from another bookseller (I have paraphrased his wording slightly):

Near the release of the 7th volume of the Treasury of David in 1885, Passmore & Alabaster (owner aging) started merging with Marshall Brothers. Both companies were operated separately. Passmore & Alabaster publications started, in about 1890, to selectively be published under "Marshall Brothers" on up till the early 1900s... Information is hard to come by, due to both companies being independent with publishing rights. Cross over publications have a note about the merger e.g a copy of According to Promise dated 1890 says "Marshall Brothers, incorporating Passmore & Alabaster".

This would explain how the printers' history page mentioned above can state "In 1910 the publishing division was sold" while books appear 20 years before this date with the "incorporating" text.




Yet more information, this time from Paul Tritton, author of the web article linked above.

There's a book:
Print is Our Business - A History of Alabaster Passmore & Sons
by Elizabeth Repath
Alabaster Passmore, Maidstone, 1983.

There are reference copies in:
* Maidstone Library
* Centre for Kentish Studies (Maidstone)
* Tonbridge Library
* Bodleian Library, University of Oxford
* Archive of Art & Design/National Art Library, Victoria & Albert Museum, London
