Metaphysics in the Reformation: The Case of Peter Martyr Vermigli

mystery of the Trinity. In doing so, this might actually help to position Tuckney more precisely within the tradition of Reformed Trinitarianism. However, none of this detracts from Cho’s strong chapter on Tuckney’s Trinitarian understanding of salvation. Cho’s commendable work paves the way for future research. He suggests that more work is required on Tuckney’s ‘understanding of the relationship between covenant of works and covenant of grace and the law-gospel hermeneutics. The role and place of moral law in the life of a believer is also worthy of further research’ (153–4). We are also told that a translation of Tuckney’s Praelectiones Theologicae (1679) is on the horizon (7). This ought to generate more interest in Tuckney and alert us to the fact that the study of the original works of Westminster divines is still much needed.
