Does anyone know why Christopher Love's complete works were not republished by Soli Deo Gloria? Or if anyone plans to reprint them in the near future?

In Meet the Puritans, Beeke and Pederson note (p. 403, concerning Volume 1 of Love's Works) that "Most of the remaining books of Love, originally intended to be collected into a second and third volume of his works, have been published as individual titles by Soli Deo Gloria." Perhaps Dr. Kistler could shed more light.

Yes, Volume 1 did not sell well enough to justify doing it as a set of "Works." That volume has still not sold out almost 10 years later. The individual titles seem to sell better, even though the multi-title volumes are more cost effective.
Most of Love's more popular works have been published, however.

Don Kistler | A regular complaint I heard was that SDG did not combine two of Love's smaller works and sell them as one book; as they did with some other works.

Christopher Love is probably my favorite puritan!
I wish he were more well known!
I have been fed so much through his writings!

Don Kistler, A Spectacle Unto God: The Life and Death of Christopher Love, p. 90: Quote: |
Christopher Love was a Covenanter. One of the things that makes them unique is their commitment to exclusive psalmnody, and their strict keeping of the Sabbath. In other words, covenanters will sing only the divinely-inspired psalms of Scripture in their worship services, and they sing them without musical accompaniment. Since God wrote the psalms, they reason, why sing hymns written by fallible men?
| For a while, the tag line on my signature here was a quote from Christopher Love's speech uttered while on the scaffold ( ibid, p. 120): Quote: |
I would rather die a covenant keeper than live a covenant breaker.
