In biblical theology, Geerhardus Vos provides the results of his biblical understanding that he obtained during his 39 years of teaching at Princeton Seminary . The book is a compilation of his teaching notes edited by his own son to make it available for publication. (vi) In this collection, Vos accounts for the unfolding of God's plan in redemptive history by analyzing God's special revelation. While tracing the history of redemption, throughout the book he constantly dialogues with and refutes the liberal theories of the school of history of religions and the speculations of the highest critics of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is divided into three segments: Mosaic era, prophetic era, and New Testament revelation eras. Vos begins in the first two chapters by defining biblical theology as that branch of exegetical theology, which deals with the process of God's self-revelation deposited in the Bible. (5) Biblical theology develops gradually, as God reveals himself in history both through his actions and through his words in Scripture. In chapters three through five, Vos covers the pre-redemptive revelation to Adam, the Noachian revelation, and the period between Noah and the patriarchs. Then, in chapters six and seven, we explore revelation during the patriarchal period and the period of Moses. In part two, the prophetic era of revelation is explored and a fundamental understanding of the prophetic is first developed. Followed by a discussion of the theories, concepts, mode, reception and content of prophecy in biblical revelation. In Part Three, the revelation of the New Testament is explored with a primary and exclusive focus on the gospels and Jesus. Revelation linked in middle of paper......writes: "We are not, however, permitted to seek here an exclusively personal reference to the Messiah, as if He alone were meant by 'the love of the woman.' seed'. The Revelation of the Old Testament very gradually approaches the concept of a personal Messiah. (43-44) But if we take into consideration later biblical revelation, it is clear that the Messiah is mentioned in Genesis 3:15. It can also be inferred that a virgin-born Messiah could be in sight . A final weakness of Vos's work, primarily because it is a compilation by his son, is that he unfortunately does not extend the discussion of biblical theology to the Pauline epistles and also provides no discussion of the 'Apocalypse. But overall, Biblical Theology is dense, deep theological reading, full of truth and deep theological reflection. Certainly a must-read for the serious theology student.
