Description:
Gathered from source material at the Heritage Hall archives at Calvin Seminary and University, Vos's lectures on natural theology are here translated into English for the first time, effectively forming a partial introduction to his Reformed Dogmatics.
Brief description:
Geerhardus Vos (1862-1949) was born in the Netherlands and emigrated to the USA in 1881. He earned degrees from Calvin Theological Seminary, Princeton Theological Seminary, and the University of Strasbourg (PhD in Arabic). In 1894 he was ordained as a minister in the Presbyterian Church in the USA. Before beginning a thirty-nine year tenure on Princeton's faculty, he was professor of systematic and exegetical theology at Calvin Theological Seminary.
Review Quotes:
"The recent discovery of Geerhardus Vos's lectures on natural theology is an enormous blessing to the church. In these lectures, Vos brings his unique gifts to bear on subjects such as the history of religion and the various proofs for the existence of God. In effect, it serves as a prolegomenon to his Reformed Dogmatics. For those interested in the late nineteenth-century development of Reformed thought on these subjects, this work is a must read." -- Keith Mathison, professor of systematic theology, Reformation Bible College
