Overview
As America’s Second Great Awakening swept through the nineteenth century, it left in its wake a heightened sense of anticipation for the Second Coming of Christ in the new millennium. Stepping onto this fertile soil, Charles Taze Russell founded the Bible Student Movement—out of which eventually grew the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Select Works of Charles Taze Russell brings together the foundational writings of this charismatic pastor, opening a window into the beginnings of Jehovah’s Witness belief.
This collection includes his earliest publications, later expanded into a seven-volume series known first as Millennial Dawn and then changed to Studies in the Scriptures. Originally intended as a Bible study aid, Millennial Dawn presents Russell’s interpretation of Scripture and its relation to God’s plan. Also included is the companion volume to Russell’s ambitious worldwide film presentation, Photo-Drama of Creation.

About Charles Taze Russell
Charles Taze Russell (1852–1916), or “Pastor” Russell, was the original founder of what is now known as the Jehovah’s Witnesses. A charismatic speaker and ardent minister, Russell began publishing Zion’s Watch Tower and Herald of Christ’s Presence (still published today as The Watchtower) in 1879. He cofounded Zion’s Watch Tower Tract Society in 1884. He published a widely popular six-volume series, Studies in the Scriptures, from 1886 to 1904, and wrote many other works over his lifetime. His teachings were originally referred to variously as the Bible Student Movement, Russellism, Millennial Dawnism, and later, Rutherfordism. The Bible Student Movement developed from his teachings and ministry, which eventually led to the establishment of the Jehovah’s Witnesses under Joseph Franklin Rutherford in the 1930s. A controversial figure who started a controversial movement, Russell had a profound impact on North American church history.

Since Logos has provided books that criticize the works of Charles Taze Russel it is good that Logos also provides the actual works of Charles Taze Russell. It would be good to compare the works that criticize to the actual written words of Charles Taze Russel to see if his words were taken out of context, misrepresented, or misunderstood by the one who is being critical. It is my understanding that Joseph Rutherford forcefully took over the Watchtower Bible and Track Society after Charles T. Russell died. Changing the Watchtower and Tract Society from a publishing house that did not rule over people to what it is today. Rutherford also discarded and changed many of Charles T Russell's beliefs. We should ask "Where does Charles Taze Russell differ from the Jehovah Witnesses?"Daniel Andujar

We need to study and learn what sects believe in, to help those in error and expose them to the truth of Jesus Christ.Daniel Andujar

I congratulate Logos also for making the writings of all Christian persuasions available for our study and use. If some Evangelicals here think that they are wrong, well then buy the set and use it in your next series of sermons "Why Jehovah's Witnesses are Wrong, Proved from the Writings of Their Founder".

Like any religious group, the Jehovah’s Witnesses have some errors and are not perfect. But we Christians should admire and seek to congratulate members of other denominations for the good things they do and believe. I have many good friends that are Jehovah’s Witnesses and I have not been baptized because I have been on active military service for over 20-years yet I am a Bible Student and love to be around those that are always taking in knowledge of the true God, and Jesus Christ.

If these are first edition books, they may prove useful in exposing their false prophecies. Hopefully they are not revised to hide the fact that Charles Taze Russell was a false prophet.Angel Izquierdo
