The Letters of Geerhardus Vos

Geerhardus Vos, a pioneer in biblical theology, continues to influence Bible students today. Widely known for his scholarship on Vos, editor James T. Dennison Jr. here collects, for the first time, all of Vos’s extant letters. Many of these letters were written to such luminaries as Abraham Kuyper, Herman Bavinck, B. B. Warfield, and J. Gresham Machen. The editor’s notes to each letter assist the reader in understanding references in them.

Geerhardus Vos (1862-1949) was born in the Netherlands and emigrated to the United States 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 for five years.
