Francis Turretin (1623—87) has been called "the best expounder of the doctrine of the Reformed Church" (Samuel Alexander), "a marvelous synthesizer" (Roger Nicole), and "a towering figure among the Genevan Reformers" (Leon Morris). His Institutio Theologiae Elenctic, first published In 1679—85, was the fruit of some thirty years' teaching at the Academy of Geneva.
