Institutes of Elenctic Theology (3 Volume Set)

Francis Turretin (1623–87) has been called "the best expounder of the doctrine of the Reformed church" (Samuel Alexander) and "a towering figure among the Genevan Reformers" (Leon Morris). First published in the late 1600s, his Institutio Theologicae Elencticae is the fruit of some thirty years of his teaching at the Academy of Geneva, and this three-volume set is the first complete edition to be published in the English language. As an elenctic theology, it seeks to affirm and demonstrate the truth by refuting false doctrine―in this case contrasting a comprehensive Reformed theology with conflicting perspectives, particularly Roman Catholic, Arminian, and Socinian views.
