Caspar Olevianus Translation Project - The Substance of the Covenant Between God and the Elect

To all fellow students of Theology, linguistics/History, I'm so excited to finally share my translation project initiation! It is one Caspar Olevian's (Substance of the Covenant) "De substantia foederis gratuiti inter Deum et electos, seu de foedere gratiae". Any Reformed/Protestant scholar should appreciate the substantive contributions of Olevianus (as I've previously stated, one of the most underrated yet influential Reformers). Since translation projects are often a massive task I've seen it best that I take up a task like this. I've set my eyes on a PhD in Post-Reformation studies when I first read Turretins Volume 3; And so, I'm excited to see how this translation project may develop my future theological contributions. Most importantly it feels even better knowing that the translation may help future scholars and presbyterian clergymen. Please find it linked below for FREE on my Drive link. I will continue to update it there: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RWzXlIwg3Yp9_zR2CHdeuLvIj1iQK_GP/view?usp=drive_link

Ecclesial Group VS Denomination VS Christian Types?

In contemporary thought, the use of the word's "Denomination" and "Type of Christian" can be used and often conflated. Unfortunately the word 'denomination' is equivocated to carry some sense of spiritual persuasion in a believer, when actually, it relates to a political-theological persuasion (that's not to say there isn't any ethical categorisation such as the adherences to the Real Presence, Infant Baptism, etc..).  The phrase "type of Christian" also causes linguistical chaos, and could lead others (especially non-Christians and laity) to think of Christendom as a segregated religion. When in reality the categorisation of what people mean by "type of Christian" (Baptist, Presbyterian, etc..) refers to their Ecclesiology, NOT denominational adherence.  What are the proper terms and definitions then? Ecclesiology, refers to the body of Ecclesial doctrines someone believes. These are notions related to their "Doctrine of...

"Reformed" Baptists Follow Trends, Not Truth: Evaluating Reformed VS Baptist Theology comments

By comments I mean, I am using Reddit forums and responses to Reddit questions as a source of criticism, and will explicitly state when I use Quora sources if I do. The reason I chose Reddit and online threads, as sources of criticism, is due to the more honest, and less commercial treatment of theological/historical topics. By 'honest and less commercial' my implication is that popular authors, publishers and forums (Ligonier, Grace2You, for example), tend to attempt to unify Reformed thought for the sake of "Christian-pietistic" unity, instead of thoroughly trying to systematize Protestant History.  With Reddit and online forums like Puritan Board being a great source due to their contributors being very well read in primary sources and are more likely to be honest, and sometimes really harsh. I've just had more luck dealing with these people (instead of actual university graduates), because they have the time and ambition to interact with the primary sources in...

Francis Turretin - Notes on His Doctrine of Justification

  Turretin On Justification "Does faith justify us properly and by itself or only relatively and instrumentally? The former we deny; the latter we affirm against the Socinians, Remonstrants and Romanists" Turretin states the two fold nature of Justification, that it can be on the part of God ("actively") or on the part of man ("passively").  I assume Turretins following discourse has an emphasis on the passive; considering his follow critique on the Socinians, Romanist and Orthodox mainly focuses on the instrumental (and organic/improper) cause of Justification.  -Turretin see's Faith as a work. It has to be a work for the Socinian and Romish theories to be false.  On the Socinians its brief, as their theory is essentially making Faith the formal, and instrumental cause. Or as Turretin expresses it "properly and by itself and so is our very righteousness" Swiftly moving onto Romanist. It seems that they hold to the idea that Faith "begin...
