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.

Editorial Reviews

The larger availability in English of Turretin’s complete Institutes is a welcome contribution...

Carl F. H. Henry

Should prove to be a big step toward remedying the widespread neglect and misunderstanding, even misrepresentation, of seventeenth-century Reformed orthodoxy.

Richard B. Gaffin Jr.

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

A superb contribution to theological literature . . . . One never errs in reading the giants. Francis Turretin is a giant.

Paul D. Feinberg

Will enable those willing to wrestle wiht Turretin’s concise, knotty style and highly technical arguments to overcome the myths and appreciate Turretin’s importance to Reformed theology.
