Brief

These essays present historical overviews of the main streams and major thinkers of Reformed theology in America. Thus, to the student of American Reformed theology, this book is a great “reader’s guide”–if you  start here before jumping straight into Hodge, Warfield, Van Til, Dabney, Thornwell, et. al., then you will have the distinct advantage of reading these American Reformed theologians within their respective social and philosophical contexts.

Geerhardus Vos Anthology: Biblical and Theological Insights Alphabetically Arranged - ed. Danny OlingerRev. Danny Olinger, editor of Geerhardus Vos Anthology: Biblical and Theological Insights Alphabetically Arranged, gives an intriguing and useful introduction to Geerhardus Vos’ life and teaching ministry (HT: DD). Among the many interesting aspects of Vos’ life, Olinger shows how Vos’ teaching at Princeton influenced many of the founders of Westminster Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, such as Cornelius Van Til, Ned Stonehouse, and Machen.

As a complement to Olinger’s interview, listeners interested in Vos will also enjoy George Harinck’s lecture comparing the lives of Geerhardus Vos and Herman Bavinck (from the 2008 Herman Bavinck conference). Bavinck’s dogmatics had a profound influence upon Vos’ biblical theology, and vice versa.

Samuel RutherfordTo Patrick Carsen

Dear and Loving Friend,

I cannot but, upon the opportunity of a bearer, exhort you to resign the love of your youth to Christ; and in this day, while your sun is high and your youth serveth you, to seek the Lord and His face. For there is nothing out of heaven so necessary for you as Christ.

And ye cannot be ignorant but your days will end, and the night of death shall call you from the pleasures of this life: and a doom given out in death standeth for ever — as long as God liveth!

Youth, ordinarily, is a post and ready servant for Satan, to run errands; for it is a nest for lust, cursing, drunkenness, blaspheming of God, lying, pride, and vanity. Oh, that there were such an heart in you as to fear the Lord, and to dedicate your soul and body to His service! When the time cometh that your poor soul look out at your prison house of clay, to be set at liberty; then a good conscience, and your Lord’s favor, shall be worth all the world’s glory. Seek it as your garland and crown.

Grace be with you.

Aberdeen, March 14, 1637
