Hoornbeek, Johannes

A Tract on the Rule of Preaching  appended to Andrew Essenius, A Compendium of Dogmatic Theology  (Utrecht, 1685)

Hoornbeek (1617-1666) was a student of Gisbertus Voetius.  During his relatively short life he was a professor at the universities of Utrecht and Leiden.  He is a very sound writer in the Reformed Orthodox tradition that took a special interest in cultivating Reformed piety.

Theological Institutes, Harmonized from the Best Authors  (Leiden, 1658)  Outline

This book is a systematic presentation of Reformed Orthodoxy composed 100% of direct quotes from ‘the best authors’, that is, Zwingli, Luther, Melanchthon, Calvin, Vermigli, Zanchi, Musculus, Sohn, Junius, Piscator, Aretius, Bucanus, Trelcatius, Polanus, Paraeus, Gomarus, Walaeus, Alting, Ames, Maccovius, Spanheim, Voetius, Maresius, and Wendelin. Most of these quotes are rather brief, although Hoornbeek includes extended citations where warranted.

.       3. Personality consists not in incommunicabiliity, but in
.             non-communication  520

.             522
.       5. This non-conjunction having been taken up, the thing

Vitringa, Sr., Campegius

The Doctrine of the Christian Religion, Summarily Described through Aphorisms, vol. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8  (d. 1722)  ToC or the analysis is after the prolegomena of vol. 1, at the end, but otherwise at the beginning of the rest of the volumes.

Vitringa, Sr. (1659-1722) was a professor in Franeker and a Hebraist.  “…Vitringa…  maintained a fairly centrist Reformed position…  Vitringa and De Moor serve as codifiers and bibliographers of the earlier tradition, the former from a federalist, the latter from a nonfederalist perspective.”

De Moor (1709-1780) has a number of disputations available at PRDL.  As portions of De Moor’s systematic are translated into English, excerpts are being put up at the blog.  Here is a review of the first volume by Dr. Ryan McGraw.

De Moor “maintained the fundamental line of confessional orthodoxy without drawing heavily on any of the newer philosophies…  [and he] maintained a fairly centrist Reformed position… Vitringa and De Moor served as codifiers and bibliographers of the earlier tradition, the former from a federalist, the latter from a nonfederalist perspective.  Indeed, De Moor’s efforts did for later Reformed orthodoxy what the massive system of Quenstedt did for Lutheranism in the concluding years of the seventeenth century: the work was so exhaustive and so complete in detail and bibliography that it virtually ended the development of Reformed doctrine in the form of orthodox system.” – Richard Muller
