Book Overview

"The aim of this book is no less than to provide an account of the unfolding of the mind of God in history, through the successive agents of his special revelation. Vos handles this under three main divisions: the Mosaic epoch of revelation, the prophetic epoch of revelation, and the New Testament. Such an historical approach is not meant to supplant the work of the systematic theologian; nevertheless, the Christian gospel is inextricably bound up with history, and the biblical theologian thus seeks to highlight uniqueness of each biblical document in that succession. The rich variety of Scripture is discovered anew as the progressive development of biblical themes is explicated. To read these pages--the fruit of Vos' 39 years of teaching biblical theology at Princeton - is to appreciate the late John Murray's suggestion that Geerhardus Vos was the most incisive exegete in the English-speaking world of the twentieth century."

If you love Van Til...

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 29, 2008

you need to read Vos. This book is not for beginning students of the Bible, to be certain. There is a level of complexity and development here that can easily overwhelm people. However, that being said, Vos' Biblical Theology is a tremendously valuable resource and worth plowing through several times. If you are a fan of Van Til's presuppositional apologetics, this volume is critical reading. According to Scott Oliphint,...

An EXCELLENT volume on Biblical Theology. A veritable treasure....

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 14, 2006

I was introduced to this text by a professor at Westminster Theological Seminary in California. On my first read I found the text ponderous, bombastic, pretentious and needlessly wordy. But on the third read I realized that my initial judgment was out of sheer ignorance. This book by Vos is, to put it simply, excellent and immensely rewarding. The text is chock full of beautiful insights and poignant theology. Even...

Brilliant insight into the unfolding of God's redemption & revelation

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 9, 2006

"Biblical Theology: Old & New Testaments" is Dr. Vos' most famous and comprehensive work. Dr. Geerhardus Vos served as Professor of Biblical Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary for 39 years starting in 1894, exercising a significant influence on many eminent theologians of the 20th century, such as Machen, Murray, & Van Til. His insight into Biblical revelation is truly profound, and of his writings that I have...

If you want the Bible, you will want to read Vos

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 26, 1999

Vos is deep; but he's exactly what one would expect if one were to embark on the journey trying to understand the revelation of God to men. Among other things, Vos teaches the differences between Systematic Theology and Biblical Theology. If you don't know the differences, and you don't know why they matter, then you will enjoy Vos. In this book Vos raises the bar on what it means to be Reformed. Some disagree with Vos'...

Great book!!

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 25, 1999

In this excellent book Vos shows the progression of God's plan of Redemption and revelation to man. Vos very clearly shows the harmony as well as the tension between the Old and New testaments.Definitely not a book for unlearned folk wanting a quick introduction to reformed theology. Especially those inclined to fear big words. :-)
