About this title

About the Author:

Francis Turretin (1623—87) has been called "the best expounder of the doctrine of the Reformed Church" (Samuel Alexander), "a marvelous synthesizer" (Roger Nicole), and "a towering figure among the Genevan Reformers" (Leon Morris). His Institutio Theologiae Elencticae, first published In 1679—85, was the fruit of some thirty years' teaching at the Academy of Geneva.

Review:

"If ever a great theological work has been unjustly neglected it has been Francis Turretin's masterful volumes on the whole of Christian doctrine. . . . I heartily . . . commend [them] to preachers, theological students and lay persons everywhere." --James M. Boice

". . . should prove to be a big step toward remedying the widespread neglect and misunderstanding, even misrepresentation, of seventeenth-century Reformed orthodoxy." --Richard B. Gaffin

"I am impressed anew with the true greatness of [Turretin's] achievement. . . . One can find a very deep pastoral and devotional strain in Turretin. . . . wonderfully edifying teaching." --John M. Frame
