Critic Reviews

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
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
If every cup of cold water will receive its reward, my calculator cannot approximate the reward James T. Dennison will have for bringing so much of the very best spiritual food for the hungry children of God.--John H. Gerstner
The larger availability in English of Turretin's complete Institutes is a welcome contribution...--Carl F.H. Henry
