I'm Messianic but theology is basically Reformed. I've often said something like I'm Messianic PresbaMethodBaptiCostal. Truthfully I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ, and believe 100% in the Holy Scriptures. I'm posting a list I have of mostly Reformed authors I've read just in the past 2 years. It's not exhaustive, but I'd highly recommend these, especially the ones in the top list:

Jonathan Edwards 1703-1758 Congregational
Horatius Bonar 1808-1889 Presbyterian
George Whitefield 1714-1770 Methodist
CH Spurgeon 1834-1892 Baptist
AW Pink 1886-1952 Baptist
Thomas Watson 1620-1686 Puritan
Thomas Brooks 1608-1680 Puritan
Thomas Boston 1676-1732 Presbyterian
Thomas Wilcox 1621-1687 Baptist-Puritan
John Wesley 1703-1791 Methodist
John Bunyan 1628-1688 Puritan
JC Ryle 1816-1900 Anglican

DL Moody 1837-1899 Evangelical
LeeRoy Shelton Jr 1923-2003
George Fox 1624-1691 Quaker
William Penn 1644-1718 Quaker
CH Mackintosh 1820-1896 Plymouth Brethren
Lewis Bayly 1575-1631 Anglican
Martin Luther 1483-1546 Catholic/Reformer/Lutheran
John Calvin 1509-1564
Josiah Schute 1588–1643
Increase Mather 1639-1723 Puritan
Cotton Mather 1663-1728 Puritan
Solomon Stoddard 1643-1729 Congregational
Samuel Rutherford 1600-1661 Presbyterian
A.W. Tozer 1897-1963
Stephen Charnock 1628-1680 Presbyterian Puritan
John Flavel 1627-1691 Presbyterian Puritan
Thomas Goodwin 1600-1679 Puritan
William Prynne 1600-1669 Puritan
Timothy Cruso 1656-1697 Presbyterian
Ebenezer Erskine 1680-1754 Presbyterian

Polycarp 70-155
Ignatius died circa 140
Tertullian 155-220
Irenaeus 120-203
Justin Martyr 100-165
Augustine 354-430
Cyprian 210-258


The Canons of Dort 1618-1619
Midland Confession of Faith 1655
Baptist Confession 1689
Westminster Confession of Faith 1647

Here's a list of websites that contain most of this material

Chapel Library

Christian Classics Ethereal Library

The Digital Puritan

Project Gutenberg (This has a lot of secular books too, so you have to a enter topic or author in search)

A Puritans Mind

University of Michigan, Early English Books Online (You have to choose "sermons" and then enter a keyboard, or an author. Tons of material here!)

Early Christian Writings (careful here; they mix good stuff with some heretical stuff from first century to 400 AD. However, I've found it good reference to look up early church fathers that taught predestination and election, or the canonical validity of 1 John 5:7.)

I placed in bold the authors I've read, some of them I've read everything I could find, others just one or two books, sermons, etc.

Great list!

I'm actually looking to sell off a majority of the library which is Reformed, Baptist and Reformed Baptist.

During Lent a bunch of Christians from across different denominations read the Christian Book of Concord during Lent and it was a success!

We are now moving on to reading Law & Gospel by Walther. The reading plan is simple, one chapter per week, check in the Discord group and share your thoughts on what you have read [or anything else for that matter].

Link to join almost 80 members reading together: Join the Lutheran Reading Room Discord Server!

We have links in channel for the free book online, free audio edition, lectures on Law & Gospel, etc.

Reformed and Calvinistic friends are welcomed to join us but it is a confessional Lutheran room so debates are limited to the debate area.

God bless,

jm

That's a pretty good list you have. Many of those I've only read a couple or a few sermons that are available online: others like Jonathan Edwards, Spurgeon - actually the top 7, plus Bunyan and JC Ryle I have read a lot of their material. I once had the complete works of John Bunyan as an ebook, but at 9,000+ pages it was opening too slow on the device I had. It's 12.2 MB. I can access it at Project Gutenberg here:

But it's easier just to look up single books and messages.

There is some previously unpublished Jonathan Edwards material in a book being sold by A Puritans Mind, but you can access portions of it free on Google books. It's called "Ripe For Damnation - Sermons on the Book of Revelation" You can read up to page 42, the rest is hidden.
