1582 Rheims New Testament

The 1582 Rheims New Testament in modern type and spelling with the original text for those who wish to read St. Jerome's Latin Vulgate in Elizabethan English translation

With an explanatory introduction providing historical context by Michael Hoffman

Banned and burned — the New Testament that would not die — back in print for the first time in nearly a hundred years

“Every corner of England was searched for those books (Rheims New Testaments) — the ports were laid for them, Paul’s Cross is witness of burning many of them, the Prince’s proclamation was procured against them; in the universities by sovereign authority colleges, chambers, studies, closets, coffers and desks were ransacked for them.”

Which New Testament is the most banned and hunted in western history? It is a New Testament you have never heard of — and yet perhaps you have!

Answer: The Rheims New Testament of 1582.

There’s no doubt that a New Testament by the name of Rheims (or “Douay-Rheims” in the case of the entire Bible), will be found in many contemporary Catholic bookshops, and even well-stocked Protestant stores, as well as on the Internet.

But those so-called “Rheims” were actually re-written by Bishop Richard Challoner and though they bear the name “Rheims,” churchmen ranging from Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman to Scripture exegete and translator Msgr. Ronald Knox, have protested against calling the Challoner New Testament, “Rheims.”

The original and true Rheims first published by fugitive Catholic scholars in France, is a slavishly faithful translation of St. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate. It has been out print for nearly a hundred years. We have faithfully printed verbatim the New Testament text of the original, but in modern type and spelling, with easy-to-read, large print. Our edition includes a new introduction by historian Michael Hoffman, and another by Benedictine scholar Gilbert Roger Hudleston, O.S.B.

This is the New Testament that would not die. The Latin Vulgate in English, the authentic voice of Britain’s repressed and hunted Catholics, has returned to print. Smuggled into Britain more than four hundred years ago, it is the magnum opus of the English Counter-Reformation.

From a Lutheran customer:

"I’ve never been a King James-only man and when I learned that the translators of the King James Version quietly used the Rheims New Testament in their work I was determined to study it. Your authentic Rheims has been a great read and I’ve been blessed by it!"— Bill, Pennsylvania

From a lady-buyer in Canada:

“I received the new Rheims New Testament but the American friend I showed it to was so impressed with it I had to give it to her. You would have loved to see her gratitude and delight. I will order another one for myself and maybe two in the event I have another friend so affected! May Our Lord Jesus Christ richly bless you.” Diane

"Translating the Bible into English at Rheims" By J.H. Pollen

The Talmud Tested by Prof. Alexander McCaul

The Talmud Tested: A Comparison of the Principles and Doctrines of Modern Judaism with the Religion of Moses and the Prophets

By Prof. Alexander McCaul, D.D.

Professor of Hebrew and Rabbinic Literature, King’s College, UK

This is a facsimile reprint of Dr. McCaul's 19th century text, with an extensive introduction by Michael Hoffman

“...unparalleled knowledge of Jewish history, religion and Hebrew...the foremost gentile expert on Jewish matters.”

—John J. Moscrop, Measuring Jerusalem

"An apologetic and polemic almost without rival."

—Walter Riggans, Biographical Dictionary

Partial list of Contents

What is unique about this book?

Alexander McCaul reproduces on page after page of this volume, passages from the Babylonian Talmud and other sacred rabbinic texts in their original Hebrew and Aramaic, and then translates them into English, so there can be no question of misquoting, or “taking out of context.”

The Talmud Tested offers incontestable documentary proof that Talmudism leads it followers to mental and spiritual bondage. Prof. McCaul earnestly and lovingly sought in his lifetime in the Victorian era to lead Talmudists to Christ, and he succeeded in his mission.

Michael Hoffman writes: “This is the most convincing and comprehensive Christian textbook on Talmudism since Johann Andreas Eisenmenger, and it has the advantage of being in English, in clear, modern type. Open-minded persons who study it from cover to cover are unlikely to be deceived on this subject to any considerable degree ever again. Dr. McCaul’s phenomenal scholarship effectively inoculates his readers against the epidemic of Talmudic confusion engulfing our nation.”

A Personal Note from Michael Hoffman

"It has long been our objective to publish Alexander McCaul’s masterwork. He was the Victorian Eisenmenger. What is best about the McCaul book, besides being in English, are the numerous Hebrew citations printed on many pages and then translated into English, which he uses to convict the Talmudists by their own words of guile and idolatry, and he does so with civility.

This edition of The Talmud Tested published by Independent History and Research represents the clearest and most readable McCaul facsimile on the market, and it is supplemented by the new introduction by Talmud student Michael Hoffman, wherein readers learn of the extent to which Judaic people were considered the natural object of missionary zeal when Christianity was still worthy of the name. If thousands of copies of this book were to be circulated among Christian leaders and open-minded persons of good will, we could see something wonderful develop."

JUDAISM’S STRANGE GODS

Revised and Expanded

If you don’t read any other book besides the Bible this year, be sure to read Judaism’s Strange Gods.”

— Dr. Chuck Baldwin, nationally recognized patriot-pastor, educator, and former presidential candidate

“Hello Michael: My wife and I have finished reading Judaism's Strange Gods: Revised and Expanded. Read every word. Studied every word. Marked it all up with highlighting and comments all over the place. I want to be able to go back and find stuff. And there’s an awful lot of stuff. And before I go any further, I want to tell you that you are a hero. You have provided a blessing to the Church, and to the world beyond computing. I cannot imagine the painstaking hours you invested in research in order to compile all this information as you have done. Simply incredible.”

—Paul T., Blue Springs, Missouri

Judaism's Strange Gods is the best book under 400 pages for educating people about the hidden side of this creed. This volume contains all of Christian scholar Michael Hoffman's main facts and most effective research, in an easy-to-read, quality paperback. Judaism's Strange Gods is a condensed version of Hoffman's massive reference work, Judaism Discovered.

Talmudism is overwhelming the Right wing, masquerading as a family values partner with patriots against the forces of evil. On the Left, it poses as a progressive partner with peace activists. Hoffman deconstructs that facade in clear and understandable writing, and does so charitably, and without vitriol. Christian bookstores are packed with tomes purporting to unmask the religion of Islam, but not one slim volume will be found delving into the arcana of rabbinic Talmudism. Judaism's Strange Gods corrects that imbalance with irrefutable documentation.

They Were White and They Were Slaves

They Were White and They Were Slaves: The Untold History of the Enslavement of Whites in Early America by Michael Hoffman

U.S. customers:

"This remarkable, pioneering history book traces the suppressed record of the slave trade in Whites, hundreds of thousands of whom were kidnapped, chained, whipped and worked to death in colonial America and industrial Britain. Michael A. Hoffman makes a compelling case for the fact that millions of American whites alive today are also descendants of slaves, the white slaves.

"...a new and startling perspective on the slavery issue."

—Instauration magazine.

"...an excellent book..." Revilo Oliver, PhD., University of Illinois
