Practical Philosophy
In Sermons to Young Women (1766), Scottish Presbyterian minister James Fordyce (1720-1796) presses the virtues and duties required of young women. This work was despised by the feminist author Mary Wollstonecraft, who addressed it in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, and it was also mentioned in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, as a book that the clergyman Mr. Collins attempts to read aloud to the women of the Bennet household.

We are thrilled to announce that Reformed Christian Politics is now available. The book’s main thesis is that: Civil government must promote true religion. Written by three American Presbyterians (two ministers and a layman), the book outlines Reformed political theory in general, before guiding the reader through the doctrine of the civil magistrate in a specifically American context, with the American revisions to the Westminster Confession of Faith examined along with the writings of 18th- and 19th-century American Presbyterians. This volume addresses theonomy and how to handle the law of Moses in terms of politics, as well as giving a summary of Stephen Wolfe’s previous book, The Case for Christian Nationalism.

In his 1645 work A Looking Glass for Good Women, John Brinsley the Younger seeks to hold a mirror up to all of Eve’s daughters, and show them how Eve’s sin has affected them, corrupting their nature in a peculiarly different way to men. Brinsley explains how Eve was uniquely punished for her sin in hearkening to the serpent, and then persuading her husband to indulge in the same sin as she did. He also warns strongly against the heresy of women teaching in the church of God – and much more besides. Brinsley’s work is compassionate throughout, while piercingly accurate and immune to modern feminist sensibilities.

In The Ethics of Ulrich Zwingli, Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck (1854-1921) examines the ethics by one of the most neglected yet important early Reformers, Ulrich Zwingli (1484-1531).
Newly available in English thanks to Jonathan Tomes, Bavinck evaluates some of the most insightful, controversial, and pastoral aspects of Zwingli’s thought, grounding it in the Swiss Reformer’s historical and theological context.
