The Teaching of the Epistle to the Hebrews

The Teaching of the Epistle to the Hebrews is the work of Geerhardus Vos, a man described as the most penetrating exegete of the English-speaking world in the 20th century.

This volume consists of a compilation of class notes on the Epistle given at Princeton Theological Seminary. Its value lies in the scriptural illumination of important theological themes such as Christology and eschatology. Vos begins his study with an in-depth exploration of the connection between the epistle and the Old Testament and explains how the first testament illuminates the latter. He develops the concept of diatheke in both Testaments and underlines its importance for Christian theology. He also breaks down the particular philosophy of the author of Hebrews regarding redemption and revelation.

This volume includes a preliminary study that provides the reader with an overview of Vos's biblical theology as applied throughout his meticulous study of Hebrews.
