Natural Theology

“The recent discovery of Geerhardus Vos’s lectures on natural theology is an enormous blessing to the church. In these lectures, Vos brings his unique gifts to bear on subjects such as the history of religion and the various proofs for the existence of God. In effect, it serves as a prolegomenon to his Reformed Dogmatics. For those interested in the late nineteenth-century development of Reformed thought on these subjects, this work is a must read.”

“At the nexus of Kuyper, Bavinck, and Warfield stands Vos. To Vos’s Biblical Theology and Reformed Dogmatics, add a third must-read work to your reading list. Now for the first time in English, this critical translation is necessary to understand Vos’s reception, contribution to, and development of Reformed theology in response to philosophies deeply shaping the modern period. Vos’s questions and answers on natural theology will and should inspire further research, deliberation, and discussion.”

“The present translation of Vos’s lectures on natural theology by Albert Gootjes, with introduction by John Fesko, brings to light a significant aspect of Geerhardus Vos’s work. Albeit comparatively brief, the lectures evidence Vos’s acquaintance with the older Reformed orthodox approaches to natural theology and his extensive knowledge of relevant developments in nineteenth-century thought.”
