Geerhardus Vos – författare

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.The Teaching of the Epistle to the Hebrews is the work of Geerhardus Vos, a man described as the most penetrating English-language exegete of the twentieth century. This volume contains Vos's classroom lectures on Hebrews, distilling his long teaching experience on the subject into one slim volume. It is especially valuable for its scriptural illumination of such theological subjects as Christology and eschatology.Vos first examines the strong connection of this New Testament epistle to the Old Testament and explains why the older scripture plays such a prominent role in the new. He then discusses how the concept of the Diatheke — the new covenant promise and lasting testament between God and man — found in Hebrews affects the whole of Christianity. Vos also points out that Hebrews presents its own philosophy of redemption and revelation and that it offers a significant, corrective teaching on the subject of Christian eschatology. Finally he sets forth the epistle's teachings on the priesthood of Christ and the better sacrifice of the new covenant.Vos's work on Hebrews provides readers with exacting scholarship, illuminating comment, and intensive study — all testifying to his profound love of the Word of God.

A Foundational Work of Reformed TheologyGeerhardus Vos's Reformed Dogmatics represents the early theological thought of one of the premier Reformed thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Originally self-published in 1896 in five volumes as Gereformeerde Dogmatiek, this monumental work of systematic theology wasn't available in English until more than a century after its initial publication.Translated and edited by biblical theologian and Vos expert Richard B. Gaffin Jr., Reformed Dogmatics offers valuable insight into the formative thought of this influential theologian. This book includes all five volumes: Theology Proper; Anthropology; Christology; Soteriology; and Ecclesiology, The Means of Grace, Eschatology. Although this work is systematic in nature, Vos brings the skills and acumen of a biblical theologian to the task.

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.
