  • The real Turretin on: The Instrumental Use of Faith

    Richard Smith at the Spurgeon Blog has an interesting post on the Instrumental Use of Faith, including a nice, but short, quotation from the real Turretin (link). Sometimes I think that it is a proper understanding of Justification by Faith that separates nominal Sola-Fideans (such as modern Arminians) from true Sola-Fideans (i.e. the Reformed). -TurretinFan…

  • Turretin Reviewed

    Curate at Kata Rogeron has provided a positive review of Turretin’s Institutes (link). It is a very brief review, but as a fan of Turretin, I certainly appreciated it. To God be the Glory!

  • The Real Turretin on: Creation of Souls

    Chelms Varthoumlien at Oikodomē has provided a sizable quotation from the real Francis Turretin on the issue of Creationism vs. Traducionism (link). This is not the “Creationism” debate we normally hear about today (vs. Evolutionism) but instead about the issue of whether souls are created or propagated. Turretin quite properly and aptly defends the Creationist…

  • Religious Affections

    Nahomi at Courage to Tremble has an interesting series on religious affections (link to example). I was particularly drawn to the example because it quotes from my favorite author, Turretin – but there are many jewels to be found there. -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

  • Edwards on the Trinity

    I enjoyed reading Paul Helm’s recent blog article at Helm’s Deep on Edwards on the Trinity (link). Prof. Helm defends Edwards from various charges of Heterodoxy in the course of the article. Naturally, as one of the standards for Reformed orthodoxy, Helm and Edwards’ critic both refer to Turretin (with Helm placing Turretin in context).…

  • The real Turretin on: Old Testament Salvation

    JetBrane at Iron Ink has a nice post providing a quotation from the real Francis Turretin on the topic of the salvation of believers in the Old Testament (link). Although their temporal relationship to the true atonement was different than ours, Old Testament saints were saved the same way that we, New Testament saints, are.…

  • The Real Turretin on: Covenant of Works – Reward for Obedience

    Joshua Lim at Reformed Blogging has provided an interesting quotation from the real Turretin on the Reward of Life that would have been given to Adam for his obedience for as long as he continued in obedience (link). -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

  • The real Turretin on: Effectual Calling

    Michael at Pot and Torch has provided an interesting blog post on Irresistible Grace, in which he leads off with a short quotation from the Real Turretin on Effectual Calling (link). -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

  • Covenantal Divide Between Presbyterians and non-Dispensational Reformed Baptist

    I enjoyed reading a recent post at the Thomas Goodwin blog, where the pseudonymous (like the present author) author provided some interesting commentary on the minority position held by Owen in contrast to that of the other major Reformed writers (Witsius, van Mastricht, and Turretin). (link) I would tend to see Owen’s view as being…

  • εξο της παρεμβολης addresses Purgatory using Turretin

    Danny at εξο της παρεμβολης has provided an interesting three-part series on Purgatory relying (especially in part 2) on the real Turretin to provide some solid criticism of the innovated doctrine of Purgatory and its impact on the doctrine of sola fide. Part 1 (link)Part 2 (link)Part 3 (link) Enjoy! -TurretinFan To God be the…
