Theodore Beza

The Treasure of Gospel Truth Theodore Beza

The Treasure of Gospel Truth; being a godly, learned, and comfortable treatise by Theodore Beza, concerning God and his Eternal Election and Predestination; touching the ground work of man and salvation, and the chiefest points of the Christian Religion, with a brief sum of the comfortable doctrine of God and his Providence, comprised in thirty-eight short aphorisms. Written in Latin by Theodore Beza, and turned into English by John Stockwood. Whereunto is also added, this godly treatise; which is that of Theodore Beza against Sebastian Chasteillon, {renowned for his heresies, } upon the subject matter of God's Predestination, for the stopping of the mouths of the slanderous, as also for the further instructing of the ignorant. Beza added much to a clear understanding of the New Testament; as it would seem to some that he more fully developed the doctrinal distinctions that would characterize that system of theology for which Calvin would later became known.
