The thesis of this study is that Geerhardus Vos'
biblical-theological method should be viewed as a
post-Enlightenment continuation of the pre-critical federal
theology of seventeenth-century Reformed orthodoxy. Vos wrote in
the context of the liberalism of the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. His biblical-theological methodology was
largely a resuscitation of the federal theology of
seventeenth-century Reformed orthodoxy adapted to the times in
which it was written.
In one sense, this is not a typical book on creation. Many books on
creation deal with evolution, the length of the days of creation,
and ethics in light of creation. These are worthy subjects and I do
cover these things in this book. However, the doctrine of creation
is much more inclusive in the Bible. Things that we think demand
front-and-center attention do not get such by the Bible itself. As
the title of the book seeks to display, the beginning is not the
end of creation. Creation had a goal intended by God to be attained
by man, but man failed. However, God will see to it that the
original goal is reached. Creation, therefore, was intended to be a
means to an end. The end is what God had in mind all along. The end
is not plan B or even plan A. It is simply the plan.
Richard Barcellos' specific focus is to show us how the Lord's
Supper is a means of grace. The study is divided under four
headings - 1. The terminology connected to the Lord's Supper in the
New Testament. 2. The Biblical data that supports the Lord's Supper
as a means of grace. 3. The confessional formulation of the Lord's
Supper as a means of grace in the reformed tradition and 4. Final
Thoughts.
