Francis Turretin (1623â87) and the Reformed Tradition
Series:
Author:
In this biography of Reformed theologian Francis Turretin (1623â87), Nicholas A. Cumming provides critical context for the life and theology of this important seventeenth-century theologian and his impact on the Reformed tradition as a whole. Turretin has commonly been identified as a strict scholastic theologian; this work places Turretin in his broader context, analyzing his life and theology in terms of the political and religious aspects of post-Reformation Europe and his posthumous influence on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Reformed theology. This work begins with a biography of Turretin, including his education and ministry, then proceeds to the context of Turretinâs theology in the early modern and modern periods, particularly in relation to his major work The Institutes of Elenctic Theology.
Nicholas A. Cumming, PhD (King's College London, 2016) is Visiting Assistant Professor of Religion at Pepperdine University, Malibu, California. His most recent article was in Reformation and Renaissance Review on Francis Turretinâs doctrine of sin as the punishment of sin.
"This book will be relevant to investigations of the post-Reformation, Reformed orthodoxy, or the Scottish or American Reformed tradition. [...] It is a useful example of an attempt to reexamine a post-Reformation reputation without historical encumbrance and to uncover Francis Turretin's legacy more fully for the current moment." - Kimberly B. Majeske, in: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 76, No. 4 (Winter 2023), pp. 1560â1561
