The Institutio Theologicae Elencticae, first published in 1679-85, was the fruit of some thirty years' teaching at the Academy of Geneva. This is the second of three volumes in the first complete edition of the Institutes to be published in the English language. As an 'elenctic' theology--which affirms and demonstrates the truth in refutation of false doctrine--the Institutes contrasts Reformed understandings of Scripture with conflicting theological perspectives, particularly Roman Catholic, Arminian, and Socinian. In this volume, Turretin treats God's law, the covenant of grace, the person and state of Christ, the mediatorial office of Christ, calling and faith, justification, sanctification, and good works.
