We provide this list of Literature and Resources on the subject of the
head veiling to encourage believers to prayerfully and open-heartedly study this subject and meditate on God's Word. Although we have carefully reviewed and analyzed each of these resources, we feel that no one book or article, Scripture excluded, has the "complete truth." The Scriptures tell us, "Thy Word is Truth." (John 17:17) We pray that these resources will encourage and bless you. Not all of the viewpoints in the sources we list are necessarily our convictions or views.

Because of the large number of hyperlinks, we can't check them all regularly, and you may find some that no longer work. I

As of June, 2001, Still Water Revival Books have been selling a booklet supporting a judicial decision by their church forbidding women from continuing to wear head coverings. Since this past summer, SWRB has been advocating implementing church discipline against women who wear head coverings in the worship service. Their church's website has also posted this book on the internet. Interestingly, this has occurred after years of selling reformed books, articles, tracts, and resources in support of the head covering of women in the church.  You may visit the SWRB site for yourself, or the Puritan Reformed Church of Edmonton site to validate that this is indeed the case.  

A few days after the booklet was released, the following response in support of headcoverings appeared on the internet:

THE SISTERS' PRAYER COVERING 
Editorial 
September/October, 1992   Volume 27, Number 5 
Twenty years ago we published an article on the sisters' head covering. That supply has been exhausted. We are aware that many will disagree with the message contained here, but we hope our readers will at least ponder what Bro. James Myer says in this message. Christians differ in their understanding of the passage in 1 Corinthians 11:1-16, but Brethren from earliest times believed that wearing the veil is a distinctive practice designed for  Christian women.

Woman's Head Covering & The Glory of God
by Dr Peter H.L.Wee There is a passage in the New Testament which has been
ignored, neglected and regarded as not worthy of attention, partly because of
fear of the controversy that it might provoke and partly because this passage
is not considered to be of any relevance today. Women may object to the
passage on the ground that it implies women's subjugation and inferiority to
men. Some elders and other leaders would rather avoid this passage or treat
it as nonexistent than discuss it frankly. Others have their private
reservations on the validity of this passage. Yet this passage is an integral
part of Scripture, written by Paul through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit
for a purpose which has great significance in gatherings of God's people.

UPDATED 7/30/05 Institutionalist Rose-Colored Glasses
The New Reformation Review Volume one Number four - July, 1993
"The answer is this: nobody, but nobody, really submits himself to the
Scripture. Not you, not me, not anybody. But all of us, no matter those
eccentric, radical, cantankerous, obstreperous, or nonconforming that we may
be, do conform quite well to tradition. If you think that you know somebody
that's an exception, try this experiment. Ask them if they believe the Bible
is every word true, and if they will submit to its clear teachings. If they
say yes, then read them I Cor. 11:10, and ask them if their wife wears a head
covering in their local assembly. the responses you get will be quite
instructive. Here are some possibilities. . . "

UPDATED 7/30/05 Head Covering in the Assembly
By Noel Chartier
"I believe that the doctrine of head covering in the assembly can be
identified by one of the sayings of the apostle Peter, "things hard to be
understood" (2Pete2 Peter). It is indeed a difficult doctrine, and not
understood by all, even by this individual as little as a month ago, which I
believe was due to lack of personal study, coupled with a lack of
instruction. As with all doctrine, it must come from the "Scriptures", Gods
inspired "instruction" manual which is "profitable" for the man of God.
(2Tim.2 Tim.) So the purpose of this article is first to seek the will of God
and His instruction from the Word of God that we "may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2)."

COVERINGS by Gary Nayler
"This not just a writing on head coverings, beards, and clothing, but it goes
much, much further than you can even imagine, examining how this law or way
of God is applied in salvation, how it relates to God's glory, how it affects
God's covering over this earth, how it relates to the vow of the Nazirite,
and, as an issue directly affecting women, most  profoundly how it
specifically relates to the bride of Christ. It is no exaggeration to say
that the writing of this book, and all I learned in the process, has been the
single most significant and life-changing event in my life, outside of my
acceptance of Christ as my savior and my marriage. I hope it will be equally
significant for you. -Gary Nayler"
