Pastor asked me, "What are the Three Best Seminary Level Books on Reformed Theology."

I am working through that book right now, and it has been very uplifting!

Me too! It is a remarkable book. I quite agree -- uplifting indeed!

I feel that Turretin is neglected because logical argumentation is a lost art. He writes in a scholastic method that is quite foreign to modern readers. However, his institutes are a gold mine.

He is quite hard to read and understand, correct?

Turretin is tough sledding, but amply repays your efforts.

I'm not being glib here! Turretin is majestic, as is a tidal wave. He will prove difficult for one not familiar with our approaches. Even Hodge and Warfield will bewilder many. Berkhof has been the go-to "one stop showing center" in this regard.

I came into reformed theology from Pentecostal, and would say that there was indeed a big difference in the depth of those 2 theologies!
