This article appears in Volume V27, Page 483 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRANCOIS TURRETIN (1623-1687) , son of the preceding, was born at Geneva on the 17th of October 1623. After studying theology in Geneva, Leiden and France, he became pastor of the Italian
congregation
  in Geneva in 1647; after a brief pastorate at Lyons he again returned to Geneva as professor of theology in 1653, having modestly declined a professorship of philosophy in 1650. He was one of the most influential supporters of the
Formula
  Consensus Helvetica,
drawn
  up chiefly by Johann Heinrich
Heidegger
  (1633-1698), in 1675, and of the particular type of Calvinistic theology which that symbol embodied, and an opponent of the theology of Moses
Amyraut
  and the school of Saumur. His Institutio theologicae elencticae (3 vols., Geneva 1680-1683) has passed through frequent editions, the last reprint having been made in Edinburgh in 1847-1848. He was also the author of volumes entitled De satisfactione Christi disputationes (Geneva, 1666) and De necessaria secessione nostra ab ecclesia
romana
  (Geneva, 1687). He died on the 28th of September 1687.
