Geerhardus Vos was a pioneer in the evangelical study of “Biblical Theology”, that is, the method of Bible study which follows the gradual revealing of the mind of God in history, through the successive ages of His special revelation. A work of enormous worth, these pages contain the fruit of the 39 years which Vos spent teaching Biblical Theology at Princeton, until his retirement in 1932.

This historical approach to the study of the Scriptures is not meant to supplant the work of systematic theology; but to realize that the Christian gospel and message is inextricably bound up with history, and the student of Scripture who approaches the Word of God appreciating this fact, will gain insight by focusing on what was revealed in each Biblical document in succession.
