In Volume 1 of his Disputations, Francis Turretin defends the Protestant separation from Rome and examines doctrines central to the Reformed faith. Combining close Scriptural argument with historical insight and precise theological distinctions, these works reveal the Genevan pastor and professor’s concern for the truth of the gospel and the peace of the church. Eight disputations address the necessity of separation from the Roman Church and the impossibility of reunion while her errors remain unreformed. Turretin answers the charge of schism, examines Roman doctrine, worship, and government, and develops his arguments concerning idolatry, papal tyranny, Babylon, and Antichrist. Throughout, he contends that fidelity to Christ and his Word must govern the pursuit of Christian unity.
Ten further disputations explore the Book of Life, the authority of Holy Scripture, the necessity of good works, and the heavenly and earthly witnesses in 1 John 5. Studies of Israel’s passage through the cloud and sea, the manna, the rock, and the bronze serpent unfold the doctrinal significance of these Biblical types.
Introduced by Benedict Pictet’s biographical account, this volume offers pastors, students, and thoughtful readers a substantial encounter with Turretin’s defense of Reformed doctrine and worship.
In Volume 2 of his Disputations, Francis Turretin examines the saving work of Christ answering: Was Christ’s satisfaction necessary? Did he truly satisfy divine justice for sinners? And was that satisfaction complete? With close attention to Scripture and careful answers to opposing arguments, the Genevan theologian defends the necessity, reality, and perfection of the Redeemer’s work. Thirteen disputations trace this doctrine through Christ’s mediatorial office, redemption and reconciliation, his obedience and sufferings, and the sacrifices of the Old Testament. Extended treatments of Isaiah 53, 1 Peter 2:24, and Christ’s agony, desertion, and death establish the biblical grounds of his substitutionary sacrifice. Against Socinian denials and Romanist claims, Turretin maintains that Christ has fully accomplished everything divine justice requires for our salvation.
Two further studies address the foundations of Protestant faith. On the Papal Circle challenges Rome’s appeal to Scripture and the church as reciprocal proofs of authority. On the Agreement of Paul and James demonstrates the harmony of the apostles concerning justification, defending justification by faith alone while upholding the place of good works.
Rigorous in argument and pastoral in purpose, this volume directs readers to Christ’s perfect righteousness and sufficient sacrifice as the ground of pardon, acceptance with God, and eternal life.
