Biblical theology
DescriptionContentAuthorDetailsIn the list of theological disciplines, biblical theology occupies an intermediate position between exegetics and systematic theology. It differs from systematic theology not by the fact that it is more biblical or more committed to the truths of revelation, but by the fact that the principle of ordering the content of the Bible, which it follows, is historical rather than logical.
Systematic theology considers the Bible as a single whole and strives to present its teaching in its entirety in an ordered, systematic form, while biblical theology interprets its subject from a historical point of view, trying to demonstrate the organic growth, or development, of the truths of personal revelation from the initial, personal revelation that preceded redemption, sent down in Eden, to the completion of the New Testament canon.

Gerhardus Vos — (1862-1949) was born in the Netherlands and at the age of 19 moved with his family to Grand Rapids, USA. In 1883, Vos entered the Princeton Theological Seminary, knowing, in addition to his native Dutch, German, English, French, Latin, Hebrew and Greek at the time of admission. Later, he received a doctorate from the University of Strasbourg for studies in the field of Arabic language. In 1886 Abraham Kuiper strongly invited the twenty-four-year-old Vos to take the position of professor of the Old Testament at the Free University of Amsterdam, and Herman Bavink - at the University of Kampen. Due to family circumstances, Vos stayed in the USA. In 1892, he became the first professor of biblical theology at Princeton Seminary. His best friends were other Princeton professors: Benjamin Warfield and Woodrow Wilson (the future 28th president of the United States). Warfield once said to their mutual friend Louis Berkhof: "I think he (Vos) is the best exegete of those who taught at Princeton." Gerhardus Vos is considered the founder of the discipline of biblical theology in the Reformed tradition.
