The magnum opus of one of Reformed Theology's best minds. A wonderful work set up in question answer format. However, Turretin is very polemical and interacts a great deal with the issues of his day (Socinians, Anabaptists, Roman Catholics, et al). While there is some value in this, many modern readers will have little use for it. Great binding with a modern typeset and layout. Well worth your money!
Great book on justification. Shows the main where Protestant's and Roman Catholics differ on this important topic.
Great systematic theology. As good as Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion.
I've recommended this book in a general discussion of "Best Books in Systematic Theology": http://douggeivett.wordpress.com/2009/12/07/best-books-in-systematic-theology/
