“As a translator of works of Reformed scholasticism, I heartily recommend this new translation of Girolamo Zanchi’s Five Books on the Nature of God to readers. Those who read it will grow in the knowledge of God, which has as its end salvation in the triune God. The book is a fine piece of scholarship in Reformed scholasticism and a treasure trove of brilliant theology.” –Casey Carmichael

At last! The final part of the final chapter of the first book of #TNoG!
Zanchi takes it home—completing his study of the name-attributes of Ex. 34 and affirming that God's names are useful, for they help us to stand firm amidst adversity.

#TNoG bk. 1, ch. 18, pt. 2
Zanchi takes a closer look at the seven name-attributes in Ex. 34 that point toward His goodness.
merchantroyalpress.com/the-n…
Finally! The last ch. of #TNoG bk, 1!
In ch. 18, Zanchi bridges the gap from the biblical names of God to the divine attributes by spending time in Ex. 34, where God shows His back to Moses by telling him His name-attributes.
Part 1 is here: merchantroyalpress.com/the-n…
#TNoG bk. 1, ch. 17, pt. 2
Zanchi concludes his discussion of the divine name "Lord" and brings an end to his survey of "God's principal names."

#TNoG bk. 1, ch. 17, pt. 1
Zanchi considers the name "Lord," which is worthy of the God of the Bible because "He alone has absolute, unrestricted, & eternal right over everything contained within the compass of heaven & earth."

Ch. 16 of #TNoG, book 1: The name θεὸς is about fire and light and God's "indescribable splendor."

Zanchi draws out the Christological significance of the divine name El Shaddai, and brings chapter 15 to an end.
#TNoG, bk. 1, ch. 15, pt. 2

#TNoG Ch. 15, pt. 1: Zanchi takes up the name Shaddai, or as it's usually translated: the Almighty.

Today on #TNoG: Zanchi completes his study of the divine name אהיה—reflecting on redemptive history and drawing upon the insights of the Rabbis, the Platonists, Augustine, the Damascene, & Thomas.
Bk. 1, ch. 14, pt. 2

Today on #TNoG: bk. 1, ch. 14, pt. 1
Zanchi turns to the various interpretations of the divine name אהיה, which appears as such only in Exodus 3.

I am a member of the PCA ad interim Study Committee on AI. What follows is my own opinion. I do not speak for the committee.
Several friends have asked for my thoughts on the work posted on “The Faith Received” (TFR) today. Here are my observations:

I recently published a translation of bk 1 of Zanchi's On the Nature of God. Took about a year. I'm ~100 pp. into translating bk 2.
Yesterday, TFR released an AI translation of all 5 books. Although unaware of this project, I figured something like it would happen eventually. 1/9
Today we're releasing a brand new resource called The Faith Received.
It's a massive online library and research tool featuring nearly 20,000 primary sources across church history.

Z brings ch 13 to an end:
"The purpose for which the name Jehovah was revealed is so that, by remembering this name, we might always call to mind and know for certain that He really will fulfill everything that He has promised in Christ."
#TNoG 1.13.6

PSA: God didn't reveal His name so that we could use it to perform miracles.
Many are the superstitious abuses invented concerning the name יהוה. More edifying is the actual use for which God revealed it to His people.
Zanchi has made his way to the Antipodes!

What's distinguishes Moses's knowledge of יהוה from that of the patriarchs?
According to Zanchi, the experiential knowledge of God as the one who keeps His promise of redemption:
#TNoG 1.13.4
When did God make His proper name known?
If the name of the LORD was called upon in Gen. 4, then why does God tell Moses in Exod. 6 that the patriarchs did not know Him "by the name יהוה"?
