For the first time, passages extracted from Vos's published and unpublished writings are organized by subject, giving twenty-first-century readers an unparalleled opportunity to learn firsthand what Vos wrote on more than 350 topics.

A useful reference tool, it should stimulate and direct those wishing to explore particular lines of his thought. -- DAVID VANDRUNEN, Westminster Seminary California

His masterful compendium of Vos's writings provides us with comprehensive access to a great theological mind. Time and again Vos's sage comments add new light to the subject he explores.

All of the familiar trajectories of Vos's biblical theology are present. A rich resource for preachers and future scholars, this treasury should help stimulate the minds and form the lives of thoughtful Christians. -- GREGORY E. REYNOLDS, pastor, Manchester, N.H.
