Is this resource worth buying? Feedback is greatly appreciated. https://www.logos.com/product/30296/institutes-of-elenctic-theology
I have it in print but wish I would have bought the Logos version. The reason is that then I would have it as a reference to go to with when scripture references match up.
As for content, It is a tough read. I have been slogging through it about 25-30 minutes at a time once a week for a while now and I feel like I have hardly made a dent. Content is amazing though.
Thanks maybe I should just pass for now then on the sale lol
The publisher had it on sale a few months ago for $64 for the set, which is the cheapest I've seen it by far. I bought the set because it was something I always wanted. However, now that it is on sale for such a good price with Logos, I wish I had it on Logos instead.
As mentioned by Mark, Turretin is a hard read. But it is a very valuable resource to have in your library.
Along with Bavinck's Reformed Dogmatics and Vos' works, Turretin holds the absolute high-water mark of post-Calvin Reformed systematics. I had to purchase it physically because I needed it for a course before the pre-pub closed, but I'm still considering buying in Logos it with the sale. It's that good.
It reads different than most systematics:
I'd recommend reading through some previews and determining for yourself if the challenging prose is something you'll actually use. If you feel you'll actually make use of it, hardly anything can beat it.
Thanks guys for your feedback. Is this a resource you think is helpful in guides through Logos or is it one that is really meant to be read by itself because of its formatting?
