Last week it was my great privilege to get along to the John Owen Centre and enjoy an introduction to Francis Turretin's Institutes of Elenctic Theology. Jeff Jue of Westminster led the sessions and very well too. Sadly, there were only three of us. Ralph is based at WEST and is actually doing the ThM course. Duncan and I were just auditing. Turretin's three volume work has been available in English for some years now and is a very impressive piece of post-Reformation scholasticism well worth investing some time in. It was great to have this week of navigating at least some of the loci. Giovanni's cooking is always a bonus.
A blog featuring whatever I fancy, often on the Christian faith but not exclusively
Turretin is also one of these French Theologians whose work are not available in French.
