From the publisher

Geerhardus Vos's Reformed Dogmatics represents the early theological thought of one of the premier Reformed thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Originally self-published in 1896 in five volumes as Gereformeerde Dogmatiek, this monumental work of systematic theology wasn't available in English until more than a century after its initial publication.

Description adapted from the publisher, Baker Academic.

About the author. Geerhardus Vos (1862-1949) was a Dutch American theologian. He studied at Calvin College and Princeton Seminary and then pursued doctoral work in Semitics at the University of Berlin and the University of Strasbourg. After returning to teach at Calvin in 1888, he joined Princeton's faculty as the first chair of biblical theology in 1892. He held the chair until his retirement in 1932. During his time at Princeton, he taught some of the great Reformed minds of the twentieth century, including John Gresham Machen and Ned Bernard Stonehouse. Vos was an essential catalyst in establishing biblical theology as a discipline. His theological scholarship has influenced Cornelius Van Til, John Murray, Richard B. Gaffin Jr., and Herman Ridderbos.
