“Gehardus Vos is the most perceptive biblical commentator in the English-speaking world of the 20th century.” — John Murray

This book is the fruit of Professor Gehardus Vos's 39 years of teaching at Princeton Theological Seminary.
Professor John Murray said that Geerhardus Vos was the most perceptive biblical commentator in the English-speaking world in the 20th century.
According to Thomas Aquinas, theology is “being taught by God, teaching God, leading to God” (Deo docetur, Deum docet, ad Deum ducit).
The title of this book, Biblical Theology, is potentially misleading, for any true Christian theology must be biblical theology.
Because, apart from general revelation, the Bible is the only material that the discipline of theology deals with.
A more appropriate title would be “The History of Special Revelation.”

In the encyclopedia of theology, biblical theology occupies a position between scriptural theology and systematic theology.
It is different from systematic theology.
This does not mean that it is more biblical than systematic theology or that it adheres more closely to the truths of the Bible.
However, the difference is that the principle of organizing the material of the Bible is historical rather than logical.
While systematic theology takes the Bible as a complete whole and seeks to present its entire teaching in an orderly and organized form, biblical theology treats its material from a historical perspective, seeking to reveal the organic growth or development of the truths of special revelation from the pre-redemptive special revelation given in the Garden of Eden to the completion of the New Testament canon.
