Editorial Reviews
Review
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., Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary
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, professor of systematic theology and philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando
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. -- Richard A Miller

- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2018A must have addition to any serious theologian.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2016Was a new book which arrived promptly.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2013Hard to know where to start. Turretin is simply majestic. Ideally, this review would give an indepth analysis of all of Turretin's key points. Sadly, such a review would span many pages. Instead, I'll give a brief outline of the loci and focus on his high points.
He begins with an exposition of the Ten Commandments. Of particular importance are his takes on the 2nd and 7th Commandments. He then moves into the Covenant of Grace. I thought this section could have been fleshed out more. Perhaps that is where Witsius comes in. He then moves to the Person of Christ and this is where he shines. He mightily vindicates the Reformed Christology, presupposing the "finiti non capax infinitum." From here he moves to the Offices of Christ. THis is in particular contrast to the Socinians. There is a very strong section on the Priestly office of Christ.
From there he moves to Calling and Faith. He gives a rather thorough, if somewhat laborious, justification of effectual calling. I think his later disciple Charles Hodge did a better job of summarizing this. The section on justification was particularly good.
The book is not perfect, but it comes very close. There are about 7 to 10 areas with which I disagree with Turretin, but that's only natural
- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 1999Francis Turretin (1623-1687) was a pastor, and taught at the Academy of Geneva. This is the second volume of his spirited and exhaustive defense of Reformed Theology. Samuel Alexander called Turretin "the best expounder of the doctrine of the Reformed Church" (high praise when you remember that John Calvin did a little exposition of Reformed dogmatics himself). This volume covers: the Law of God, the Covenant of Grace, The person and state of Christ, the mediatorial office of Christ, calling and faith, justification, and sanctification and good works. The section on God's law (which has a wonderful exposition of the 10 commandments) is worth the price of the book alone. This volume and its companions are a must in any serious theological library.
