Some Works of Charles Taze Russell
These writings are selected because they are related to various misrepresentations, false accusations, and distortions that are being presented by Russell's enemies (and sometimes even by some of his friends).

The Rock-Built Church -- What did Russell teach about the true Church, and sectarianism?

The Temple of God -- Excerpts from this discourse of Pastor Russell have often been quoted by his enemies in an endeavor to prove that he was in league with the Masons, and the demons. We have reproduced the entire sermon so that one can see the context of what Russell actually said.

Food For Thinking Jehovah's Witnesses
(Bible Students Online)

CHARLES TAZE RUSSELL THE TRUTH
(Arian Bible Students)

The Churches, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Unfulfilled Prophetic Expectations
(Hal Flemings) - This is written from the JW point of view, but we include it because Brother Russell is often referred to as a "false prophet." Mr. Flemings does give a historical background of "failed predictions" we think is very beneficial.

Criticism of Pastor Russell Examined in the Light of Scripture
Compiled by M. C. Bradley, Chicago August, 1914 - Examines Criticisms of Russell by W. G. Moorehead, P. Beckman, C. C. Cook, W. Leon Tucker, I. M. Haldeman, and others.

The Evil Slave Class (Bible Students online)

God's Mouthpiece (Regan Balman)

A Great Battle in the Ecclesiastical Heavens
by J. F. Rutherford, 1915 -- Approved by Brother Russell: Discusses The Brooklyn Eagle's accusations of Russell. Includes information concerning "Miracle Wheat", The Ross Libel, Mrs. Russell's accusations and more.

A HISTORY OF THE BIBLE STUDENT MOVEMENT Information is good. We would rather have seen a more scriptural title than Soldiers of the Cross, given to this document, as many tend to see idolatry in this title. See: Idolatry Links.

How One Bible Student Sees Himself - in regard to Christian freedom, and the accusation of "following a man."

A Pastor of Excellence

PASTOR RUSSELL NOT THE FOUNDER OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES: (North Seattle Bible Students)

PHOTO-DRAMA OF CREATION
(Charles Taze Russell) Script and stills from the famous presentation - supplied by the Associated Bible Students of Central Ohio.

St. Paul Enterprise Articles Regarding the Death and Burial of, and Memorial Services for, Pastor Russell

History of Bible Students after Pastor's Russell's Death - In our opinion, the author of this history seems to place a sectarian view on Russell and his writings, and is obviously opposed to Bible Students' not upholding what Russell taught, even on non-fundamentals, but the historical information is informative.

St. Paul Enterprise Defence of Pastor Russell -- Discusses accusations and misrepresentations made by William T. Ellis, W. B. Riley, and others. Some statements seem to exalt Brother Russell too highly, making him a prophet (which Russell himself disclaimed, QB272:1; 675:1), but most is good information.
