2023 Reprint of the 1930 U.S. Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This books provides the author's interpretation of the structure of Paul's theology. The basic thesis is that to unfold Paul's eschatology is to set forth his theology as a whole, not just his teaching on Christ's return. The author discusses the structure of Paul's eschatology, the interaction between his eschatology and his soteriology, and the religious and ethical motivation of his eschatology. This volume also discusses the coming of the Lord and its precursors, the man of sin, the resurrection, chiliasm, the judgment, and the eternal state. The Pauline Eschatology, originally published in 1930, remains a classic work in this field. Contents:Its structure -- Interaction -- Ethico-religious motivation -- The "coming" and its precursors -- The man of sin -- The resurrection -- Alleged development -- The resurrection-change -- The extent of the resurrection -- The question of chiliasm -- The judgment -- The eternal state

2023 Reprint of the 1953 U.S. Edition. Edited by Johannes G. Vos. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In this classic work Vos "...challenges classic Liberalism's rejection of Jesus' self-conscious messianic awareness. As Vos sees it, this anti-supernaturalist assessment of the Gospel witness evidences itself in three key assumptions: (1) whatever occurs in history can never be absolutely true or authoritative; (2) all historical events are fundamentally similar and explainable in terms of natural phenomena, and (3) all historical events exist in an interrelated chain of cause and effect so that all events are part of a closed naturalistic system. While the material is somewhat dated, similar arguments put forward on the contemporary scene have already been tried and found wanting by Vos' keen exegetical and theological insight. - Jeff Waddington - Westminster Bookstore StaffPublisher Review:Did Jesus claim to be the Messiah? What Vos discerned in 1926 applies equally to ours: "a certain class of writers" regards with "disfavor ... the Messianic element in the Gospels." His comprehensive, detailed refutation of such writers has helped evangelicals answer these questions affirmatively almost one hundred years ago years (First released in 1926).Contents: The strategic importance of the Messianic consciousness -- The denial of the Messianic consciousness -- The agnostic position : Wrede -- The theory of prospective Messiahship -- The theory of development of Jesus into the Messianic consciousness -- The theory of the purely formal significance of the Messianic consciousness --"The Christ" -- "The Lord" -- The Son of God -- The Son of God (continued) : ascription of the title to Jesus by others -- The Son of God (continued) : the sonship of Jesus in the fourth Gospel -- The Son of Man -- The Savior -- The Messianic death.

Eschatology is "doctrine of the last things." It deals with the teaching or belief, that the world-movement, religiously considered, tends towards a definite final goal, beyond which a new order of affairs will be established, frequently with the further implication, that this new order of affairs will not be subject to any further change, but will partake of the static character of the eternal.Vos stated that the purpose of the treatise was to investigate the extent to which Paul's eschatological teaching was tied to his doctrine of the Holy Spirit. This allowed Vos both to build upon the biblical theological insights of his "Theology of Paul" and to answer the questions that he had raised in his review of Kennedy's St. Paul's Conception of the Last Things. In setting forth the grand structure of Paul's teaching, Vos asserted that Paul taught that the future world had projected itself into the present life. Vos said, "Through the appearance of the Messiah, as the great representative figure of the coming aeon, this new age has begun to enter into the actual experience of the believer. He has been translated into a state, which, while falling short of the consummated life of eternity, yet may be truly characterized as semi-eschatological."Vos turned to Romans 1:3-4 to answer the question of how the Spirit was conferred upon Christ. He concluded that it was a history of redemption question (a contrast between the states of humiliation and exaltation) and not a question of natures (humanity and divinity). That is, the reference was not to two coexisting sides in the constitution of the Savior, but to two successive stages in his life. According to the flesh, Jesus descended from David. According to the Spirit, Jesus was declared to be the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead.The Apostle Paul understood that the subsequent state, the age to come, had intruded into the present age. Paul also understood that the soteric movement that had Christ at its center occurred within this cosmical setting of the overlap of the ages. The result was a philosophy of history where eschatology no longer formed one item in the sum-total of revealed teaching. Vos's purpose in the book was to show that unfolding Paul's eschatology meant unfolding Paul's theology as a whole.

Reprint Edition of 1948 Edition. Vos (1862-1949) was a Dutch American Calvinist theologian and one of the most distinguished representatives of the Princeton Theology. He is sometimes called the father of Reformed Biblical Theology. "Biblical theology is that branch of theology that seeks to "exhibit the organic growth or development of the truths of Special Revelation from the primitive pre-redemptive Special Revelation given in Eden to the close of the New Testament canon" (pp. v-vi). Vos shows how the plan of redemption is progressively revealed from creation to the book of Revelation. His main point is that the Bible is organized around the covenant. This means that God in Christ is progressively revealed throughout the Bible and biblical history in particular. More basically, Vos wants the reader to understand this: "All that God disclosed of Himself has come in response to the practical religious needs of His people as these emerged in the course of history" (p. 9). This is a progressive revelation of his love for his people, expressed by way of his covenant with them. The Bible teaches us that God indeed cares about our day-to-day needs, and he lovingly meets those needs in Christ. Biblical Theology is a long read, but it is worth the effort. If you study it carefully, your heart will be warmed and encouraged as this father of Reformed theology helps us to interpret the Bible more accurately and see God's love for us in Christ more clearly."https://www.opc.org/review.html?review_id=522

The Mosaic Origin Of The Pentateuchal Codes is a book written by Geerhardus Vos and published in 1886. The book explores the origins of the Pentateuchal codes, which are the laws and regulations found in the first five books of the Bible. Vos argues that these codes were not created by multiple authors over a period of centuries, as many scholars believed at the time, but rather were given to Moses by God himself. He examines the evidence for this theory, including linguistic analysis, historical context, and the internal coherence of the codes. The book is written in a scholarly style, with extensive footnotes and references to other works in the field of biblical studies. It is considered a significant contribution to the study of the Pentateuch and has been influential in shaping the views of many scholars on the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
