Francis Turretin’s Institutio Theologiae Elencticae (3 Vols.) was the standard introductory work used for Reformed theological education for nearly two hundred years, until it was replaced by Charles Hodge’s Systematic Theology and Berkhof's Systematic Theology. First published in 1679 in Latin, Institutio Theologiae Elencticae (3 Vols.), or Institutes of Elentic Theology (3 Vols.), is written in a question-and-answer format, covering topics such as the authenticity of the Scriptures, various versions of the Bible, the canon of Scripture, and the authority of Scripture, as well as a myriad of other theological issues. This edition, not translated into English, features the original Latin language, providing the most accurate text available.
