Preface
Preface
My thanks to the base translators of this volume, without whose work its appearance would not be possible, as well as to John Richard de Witt for some translation review. As with volume one, I have reviewed and revised their work and given the translation its final form. Again, thanks are due as well to the project manager, Justin Marr, and to the copy editors for their work.
Volume two sheds no light on a question raised in the preface to volume one concerning what Reformed theologians, contemporary or in the recent past, may have directly influenced Vos. What does come out clearly in a number of places, more so than in volume one, is Vos’ impressive familiarity with the work of theologians, primarily Reformed, from the seventeenth century. With an eye to matters of continuing debate in Reformed theology, many readers will find particularly interesting his lengthy treatment of the covenant of grace in the final main section of this volume.
