Lord willing the following Naphtali Press book projects will come to fruition in the coming several years. The first two are on fairly certain publication paths. The others need significant work. Stay turned for pre pub announces on the Gillespie in a month or so.
George Gillespie, A Dispute Against the English Popish Ceremonies, revised NP edition (before the end of 2013; 2013 is the 400th anniversary of Gillespie’s birth). I am more convinced of the importance of this work than ever; regardless of if you agree with the author on anything or everything (or nothing), you will understand the nature of the questions of worship that faced Presbyterians then, and by extrapolation, since until today.
Westminster Assembly, The Grand Debate: Papers Exchanged between the Presbyterians and Independents at the Westminster Assembly (early 2014). A work in progress on and off for 20 years. Rowland Ward is on board to do the introductory/analysis bits.
After that things get a bit less certain.
James Durham, The Collected Sermons of James Durham. New editions of all the sermons except for those on Isaiah 53.
James Durham, Commentary on Revelation. I know there is interest in this but it is a big work and will take time since I determine I could not publish the text as is of the Old Path edition to which I purchased the rights some years ago. I had qualms because of editing style issues, but bottom line, I spotted too many mistakes in the text not to re-edit the work. This may should be last on the list.
Nicholas Bownd, Sabbathum Veteris et Novi Testamenti: or the True Doctrine of the Sabbath. Not the earliest but the earliest significant (and large) work and the one that started it all as far as controversies in English History. With the doctrine of the Christian Sabbath the minority view in much of conservative Presbyterianism, it may be of use to return to some of the early works and provide good new editions. The large work by Cawdrey and Palmer on the same subject may also become a viable project if the Bownd does.
