Kent HendricksA few months ago we announced our intention to translate Geerhardus Vos’s Reformed Dogmatics into English. We put it on Pre-Pub to determine whether our users wanted this project to proceed, and the response has been overwhelming. Not only have lots of Logos users pre-ordered, but we’ve also received numerous notes of encouragement to pursue the project.
Today we are thrilled to announce that Richard B. Gaffin has agreed to edit the English translation of Geerhardus Vos’s Reformed Dogmatics. He will oversee a team of translators who will begin their work later this year. The complete English translation of Reformed Dogmatics is scheduled for publication sometime in 2013.
There are few individuals more qualified than Gaffin to edit this translation. He is an acclaimed Vos scholar, having published numerous articles on Vos, and editing Redemptive History and Biblical Interpretation: The Shorter Writings of Geerhardus Vos. Gaffin has taught at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia since 1965.
Who Is Geerhardus Vos?
Geerhardus Vos was an important theologian from the early twentieth century. He taught at both Calvin Theological Seminary and Princeton Theology Seminary alongside J. Gresham Machen and B. B. Warfield. He was an outspoken proponent of Reformed Biblical Theology. Cornelius Van Til has written that “Vos was the greatest pedagogue I ever sat under,” and John Murray said Vos was “the most penetrating exegete it has been my privilege to know.”
Vos’s Reformed Dogmatics synthesizes his work into a systematic theology, and it remains his most important un-translated work.
