Recovering the Beauty of Reformed Baptist Theology

Welcome to Codex Reformatus

For too long, the richest treasures of our Baptist heritage—men like Benjamin Keach, Nehemiah Coxe, and William Kiffin—have been locked behind archaic language and dense formatting. At Codex Reformatus, we are mending these broken vessels. We take the “Heavyweight” theology of the 1689 tradition and render it in clear, modern English for ordinary hands.
We don’t change the truth; we simply clear the dust so the light can shine through again.

The Voice of the Covenant

Benjamin Keach’s zeal for the Covenant of Grace and practical godliness shaped the heart of the 1689 tradition. We modernize his works to ensure his “Travels of True Godliness” continue to guide the modern believer.

Mending the Giants for the Modern Heart

At Codex Reformatus, we believe the greatest barrier to the wisdom of our Baptist forefathers is not the depth of their theology, but the dust of their language. Our mission is simple: to act as digital scribes, painstakingly ‘rendering anew’ the heavyweight works of the 1689 tradition into clear, accessible, and beautiful English.

For this part, we will write an additional introduction of yourself or your We don’t summarize, and we don’t dilute. Instead, we carefully mend the archaic phrasing and dense formatting of the originals to ensure that the light of the Puritans can shine brightly in the modern workshop, home, and church. Every edition is crafted with the same precision and care that the authors originally intended for the glory of Christ.

1. Historical Fidelity

We believe the truth is non-negotiable. Every edition begins with the most accurate primary source texts from the 17th-century Particular Baptist tradition, ensuring that the original doctrinal weight remains fully intact.

2. Modern Clarity

We painstakingly mend archaic grammar, update obsolete vocabulary, and restructure dense formatting. The result is a text that feels as if it were written for the modern workshop, home, and heart—without losing its soul.

3. Accessible Heritage

The riches of the 1689 tradition shouldn’t be reserved for scholars. We render these ‘Giants’ into beautiful, readable, and affordable volumes designed for the everyday believer to pick up and profit from immediately

The Codex Standard: Why Our Renderings Matter

  • Beyond Modernization

    We don’t just swap “thee” for “you.” We meticulously restructure complex 17th-century syntax into clear, modern sentences while preserving the original author’s rhythmic “voice” and theological precision.

  • Design with Intent

    Using our background in web design and production, we implement high-readability typography, logical section headers, and ample margins. We believe beautiful theology deserves a beautiful container.

  • The 1689 Perspective

    Every work we select is chosen for its vital importance to the Reformed Baptist tradition. We focus on the “Heavyweights” who defined our confession, ensuring their light remains a guide for today’s pilgrim.

The Scriptorium Pipeline: Current Works in Motion

This work, also known as The Danger of Hypocrisy, is a surgical examination of the soul. My goal is to modernize Keach’s “Marks of a Hypocrite” into a series of clear, accessible diagnostic headers, making this heavyweight 1691 work a practical tool for modern self-examination.

The Counterfeit Christian by Benjamin Keach

One of Bunyan’s most urgent and “shorter” masterpieces. I am rendering his nine “Directions” for the race into punchy, high-impact sections that feel as immediate as a modern training manual while preserving every ounce of his original pastoral fire.
