Product Description

▼▲

Though representing the early theological thought of one of the premier Reformed thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Geerhardus Vos' Reformed Dogmatics, originally published in five volumes as Gereformeerde Dogmatiek, has never been available to an English audience—until now.

Vos' strong grounding in biblical scholarship and biblical theology makes his Reformed Dogmatics unique, bringing a fresh biblical perspective. Though these volumes are systematic in nature, Geerhardus Vos brings the skills and acumen of a biblical theologian to the task.

Volume five, Ecclesiology, The Means of Grace, Eschatology, completes the project of translating Geerhardus Vos' work into English and forwards a clear and ordered presentation of the essence and organization of the church; the Word of God, baptism, and the Lord's Supper as means of grace; and the doctrine of last things.

Translated and edited by biblical theologian and Vos expert, Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., Vos' monumental work of systematic theology is now available in English, offering scholars, seminarians, and pastors valuable insight into the formative thought of this influential theologian on ecclesiology, the means of grace, and eschatology.

A Foundational Work of Reformed Theology

Geerhardus 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.

Author Bio

▼▲

Geerhardus Vos (1862-1949) was a Dutch American theologian. He studied at Calvin College and Princeton Seminary, and then pursued doctoral work in Semitics at the University of Berlin and the University of Strasbourg. After returning to teach at Calvin in 1888, he joined Princeton's faculty as the first chair of biblical theology in 1892. He held the chair until his retirement in 1932. During his time at Princeton, he taught some of the great Reformed minds of the twentieth century, including John Gresham Machen and Ned Bernard Stonehouse. Vos was an essential catalyst in establishing biblical theology as a discipline. His theological scholarship has influenced Cornelius Van Til, John Murray, Richard B. Gaffin Jr., and Herman Ridderbos.

Richard B. Gaffin Jr. is professor of biblical and systematic theology emeritus at Westminster Theological Seminary, where he began teaching in 1965. An ordained minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, he has authored and edited a number of biblical and theological works, including Redemptive History and Biblical Interpretation: The Shorter Writings of Geerhardus Vos.
