Description: These valuable pages contain the ripe fruit of the 39 years which Vos spent teaching Biblical Theology at Princeton, until his retirement in 1932. 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 the uniqueness of each biblical document in that succession. Geerhardus Vos was invited to teach biblical theology at Princeton Seminary in 1893. He remained there until his retirement in 1932, and he died in 1949.
 
Quote:
 "...Abraham was not permitted to do anything through his own strength or resources to realize what the promise set before him… in regard to the [promise] it might have seemed as if he might have contributed something toward the end in view… he attempted to proceed on the principle of synergism in proposing to God that Ishmael should be considered the seed of the promise. But this was not accepted for the reason Ishmael’s being the product of nature, whereas a supernatural product was required. Abraham was kept childless until an age when he was ‘as good as dead’, that the divine omnipotence might be evident as the source of Isaac’s birth… Abraham was not allowed to acquire any possession in the land of promise. Yet he was rich and might easily have done so. But God Himself intended to fulfill this promise also without the co-operation of the patriarch; and Abraham seems to have had some apprehension of this, for he explains his refusal to accept any of the spoils from the king of Sodom by the fear lest the latter should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’."

Monergism Review: A thorough grounding in biblical theology is among the most pressing needs of Evangelicals today; and Vos’s work is still the standard modern treatment of the discipline. The reader will come away fully equipped to refute the liberal theories of the history of religion, and thoroughly grounded in the biblical account of redemptive history – a must for the discerning Christian’s bookshelf! more...
