Welcome to The Northampton Press, the publishing wing of Don Kistler Ministries, Inc. The Northampton Press is committed to reprinting some of the finest Christian literature ever published, with a focus on the 17th and 18th century English and American Puritans. There are literally thousands of books from that period that were not reprinted after their initial publication, titles that honor Christ, exalt God, and call believers to live lives that are worthy of Him and pleasing to Him.

The logo for The Northampton Press is an artist’s rendering of the church at Northampton, MA during the time Solomon Stoddard and Jonathan Edwards ministered there.

We are hoping to produce 6-10 new titles each year. Please check back from time to time for announcements of new titles.

The Northampton Press is the most promising and yet experienced new publisher I know of. Its commitment to orthodox Christian literature is much needed today. Expect publications that take theology and Scripture seriously. I highly recommend this effort. John MacArthur

Matthew Poole is a highly-regarded Puritan scholar and preacher. This work of his has been out of print for nearly 200 years. It is a dialogue between a Roman Catholic priest and a Protestant, old friends who meet after many years and decide to discuss the differences between their various religions. Poole uses official Roman documents for the arguments of that faith, and the Protestant appeals to Scripture and logic in answering back.

There are many polemical books one can buy that present each side’s case, but I’ve never seen or read one where it is an actual back-and-forth, where both sides are presented. It is like watching a debate. And Matthew Poole says in his introduction to the book that he has not set up the priest as a straw man with weak arguments, but has actually taken the Catholic position from official Romanist documents that have that Church’s imprimatur.

Some of the topics covered include transubstantiation, the authority of the church, praying to saints, justification by faith alone, the role of Mary, and many other key issues.
