Please note:

  1. This is the table of contents page for a resource DVD now available to the Christadelphian brotherhood. With it you will have a superb library of the best Christadelphian, and supporting, literature available, either on your home computer, or take your library with you by using it on a laptop, or public access computer.
  2. The DVD includes a powerful search engine (off-site link:dtSearch) which will allow you to quickly search all the DVD documents for words or phrases. (Obviously the faster your machine is the faster the search engine will work). dtSearch can also perform word stemming, phonic, fuzzy and synonym based searches. Because the DVD's search engine is copyrighted it is not legal to make duplicates of the DVD. Royalties on each DVD must be paid for the search engine license. So far as we are aware no copyright claim is made on the PDF files themselves (except for the one that comes with dtSearch and belongs to that company).
  3. Most documents are in Adobe PDF format. Most have been OCR'd with the OCR'd text hidden behind the page images. The view of the document therefore is as the original, but quality of the hidden text will vary based on the condition and appearance of the original document. OCR'ing on most books was done with dual language English-Greek so that Greek text (behind the image) will be properly rendered where possible. Unfortunately, Hebrew is not supported in the best English OCR engine currently on the market. Some PDFs were created from photocopies of the original document. Much effort has been put into producing clean quality documents but because many of these documents are quite old, quality of the documents will vary.
  4. All books, articles or magazines listed are either non-copyrighted or old books that have passed out of the book's copyright time period. If you don't see something listed that you'd like to see, or have any feedback to provide, please email me at steve (a.t.) genusa {d-o.t} com. Both author and publisher are referenced/"given credit"/noted in the majority of the publications.
  5. For the US and Canada the cost is $32 US dollars, overseas $42. The software may not be exported or re-exported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, or any other country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods.

System Requirements

PC:  Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows 2003 with Internet Explorer 6. The PDFs are not displayed properly by the search engine if you use another browser like Opera or FireFox. You'll require Adobe Reader 6.0 which is a free download. Earlier versions of Reader will not work with most of the PDFs.  A DVD drive that can read 8.5 gig DVDs (most will).

Mac: Mac OS X 10.2.2 or greater. Adobe Reader 6.0. A web browser not used on Mac version since dtSearch is not available on the Mac. Macs need a DVD compatible drive like the SuperDrive which will read 8.5 gig disks.

Be not downcast at the prevalence of trouble. Remember the words of Christ: "Behold, I have told you before." This he said both concerning trouble in general and trouble in particular — in particular as concerning the troubles that were to mark the close of the Apostolic and Gentile ages; and in general as concerning the inevitable experience of his friends in the present evil world. And his object in telling it before-hand was that his friends might have consolation in the trouble. He plainly says; "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid"; "In me ye shall have peace;" "in your patience possess ye your souls" — R. Roberts.

Expositions from Brethren Who Later Strayed from The Truth

bar_n_1.gif

The following book was written by Edward Turney roughly one year before he went astray. It was endorsed and distributed by Robert Roberts. Without this book, perhaps the term 'renunciationist' would not have been coined but as it happened, Edward Turney renounced his explicit comments upon the nature of man published in this book. While there are abundant pages in the writings of John Thomas and Robert Roberts on the nature of man / sin in the flesh, this particular book is valuable as a testimony against modern clean-fleshers. While many of them pretend to be undefiled (so to speak) by clean-flesh teachings, yet if they through their words renounce or reject the same doctrines which Edward Turney renounced, then they are guilty of the same doctrinal error as Edward Turney: clean-flesh.

Edward Turney

  • Diabolism (1872)  (Endorsed in The Christadelphian and distributed by Robert Roberts)

 

The following works were all published, endorsed and/or distributed by brother Roberts. These were all written before Andrew went astray in the early 1890's and was "rebaptised" in October 1900. For those who do not know, it was NOT JJ Andrew's views on the physical sin-nature of man which he was astray on -- this formed a first principle of the truth since the early days of the Christadelphian movement. It was Andrew's advancement of a "legal" condemnation which locked men in the grave -- "unless removed by baptism" -- which formed the basis of "Andrewism". Clean-Fleshers ignorantly, or cunningly, portray Andrewism as "physical defilement," or "physical sin-nature" whereas the fact is, Andrewism is "legal defilement". Those who assert otherwise "neither understand what they say, nor whereof they affirm" and endanger their own salvation by promoting a lie which is subversive of first principle doctrine. Those who deny this first principle concerning the devil, or sin incarnate, are either disciples of another gospel (Gal 1:6; 2 Pe 3:17), or "pseudadelphos" (Gal 2:4) and their false teaching is a mark of the apostasy received in the forehead (1 Jo 4:3; Rev 14:9) and manifested in their works (Rev 14:9; Matt 7:20). See doctrines to be rejected #27.

"Opinions formed, or facts believed, in the immaturity of experience become incredible when seen to be out of harmony with larger and more exact information. Piety, the twin brother of science, tends at such times to be the guardian of error. Love of truth is forced into unnatural hostility with the virtue which is only second to it, and then come those trying periods of human history, when devotion and intelligence appear to be opposed, and the metal of which men and nations are composed is submitted to a crucial test. Those who adhere at all costs to truth, who cling to her though she lead them into the wilderness, find beyond it a promised land where all they sacrifice is restored to them. Those who through superstition, or timidity, or political convenience, or pious feeling, close their eyes to fact, who cling to forms which have become shadows, and invent reasons for believing what is essentially no longer credible, escape a momentary trial only that it may return upon them again in a harder and harsher shape. They surrender themselves to conscientious emotions, and they forfeit those very emotions for which they are sacrificing intellectual honesty as the object of their reverence becomes more palpably an idol." (Froude’s History of England, Vol. 12, p. 481-482. From the fall of Wolsey to the defeat of the Spanish Armada by James Anthony Froude, MA, London: Longmans, Green and Co.)

    The March 1880 issue of The Christadelphian has an  interesting article on (Libronix link:) Books for the Children. The following books are a few of the books recommended in the article. We repeat the advice given at the end of the article: “The late Prince Consort is said to have stated that he never gave his children a book to read which he had not previously read himself. This is an example worthy of consideration, and, as far as possible, of imitation by brethren, especially in view of the fact that they are almost entirely dependent for the production of books for their children on those whose minds are spoiled by the traditions of the Apostasy. Although many of the books enumerated may be entirely free from any such taint, yet in others there may be some things which it is necessary to caution children against, and the general caution 'Beware of orthodoxy'". These books are of interest not only for possible use by Christadelphians parents, but as a matter of what some children were reading. WARNING: In perusing some of these books, the thought frequently came to mind "beware of orthodoxy" but some of the material is good. Parents should definitely review and correct material before using.

Shall we behold the promised land,
Its streams and long down-trodden dust
Delivered from the alien hand,
And given to the just?

Shall we be there with saints of old
Assembled around the judgment throne,
When making up the gems and gold
The Lord selects His own?

Shall we with pure and strengthened voice
Join in that saintly choir to sing,
And with immortal power rejoice
To praise the chosen King?

We know the end, we know the way,
And some with life he will endow.
Shall we be with him in that day?
We make the answer now.
(Islip Collyer)

In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world."
