The Atonement of Christ

Francis Turretin, translated by James R. Willson, 1859 revised edition.

This is locus XIV of Turretin’s Institutio Theologiae Elencticae — the questions on the satisfaction of Christ — in English. Willson translated it in 1817 and the revision printed here is of 1859.

Turretin argues the necessity of the atonement against the Socinians, its truth and its perfection against the Romanists and Arminians, what Christ’s satisfaction consisted in, and — at greatest length — for whom it was made.
