Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In this book, Dr. Vos' reflects on the Epistle to the Hebrews and
its theological themes. In chapter 1, Vos explains why the
outstanding feature of the Epistle is its connection with the Old
Testament and why the Old Testament is prominent in it. In Chapter
2, Vos discusses the Epistle's conception of the "Diatheke" - the
new covenant, new testament, new organization of relationship
between God and humanity - and shows how the Epistle's conception
affects the whole of Christianity. In chapter 3, Vos points out
that the Epistle presents its own philosophy of redemption and
revelation and that it presents a significant, and corrective
teaching on the subject of Christian eschatology. In the remaining
portion of this chapter the author analyzes the Typology of the
Epistle, the Problem of the Inferiority of the Old Testament from
the religious point of view, and teh Epistle's doctrine of
revelation. In chapter 4, Vos lays out the Epistle's teaching of
the Priesthood of Christ and in Chapter 5 he concludes with a
discussion of the better sacrifice: the sacrifice of the new
covenant. This last chapter also contains helpful notes on the
rigual terminology employed by the writer of the epistle.
