Special thanks to Wes White for pointing us to this most valuable resource: volume 1 of J. H. Heidegger (1633-98), Corpus theologiae christianae is now online. I’m downloading it now.

And this is one that Canadians can download too! Awesome.
I was thinking “Martin Heidegger” (not that Martin wrote any Christian systematics, which is what threw me for a sec).
Who is this J.H. guy? Any relation to Martin?
No, MH died in 1976. JHH died in 1698. The latter was one of the more outstanding Reformed theologians of the late 17th century. He was primary author, with F. Turretin, of the Helvetic Consensus Formula.
And I was thinking of “Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar”!
Wow. What a treasure. I’ve seen Muller cite him often throughout his 4 vols. on Reformed Orthodoxy but have never actually seen anything by him. So much is locked in in the Latin, I’m afraid. Is Heidegger slated for translation in the CRT series?
Hi Michael,
This is the first time I’ve been able to see this text. Copies are very rare but yes, this text would be on the list. When it will happen, I have no idea. Latin translators don’t grow on trees.
I wonder if they grow in Moline, Mi. Hmmm.
Dear RSC,
WONDERFUL!!!!!!! Thanks for the link–can’t wait to get reading!
Marty.
