Geerhardus Vos: The Pauline Eschatology

[5solas]

I am trying to work through Geerhardus Vos' "The Pauline Eschatology" from P&R Publishing (ISBN 0-87552-505-9) and I must admit that I have quite a hard time to understand all that he wrote, I think because my native language is not English.

Does anyone of you have a trustworthy and telling resume of that book? Preferrably in simple English!

I would be very grateful if someone could help me here.

Thanks and God bless!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Vos premillennial?

you are wrong:

d. Amillennialism has always been the majority position of the Christian family. It was first articulated by St. Augustine, and has been given a distinctive Reformed emphasis through the work of Geerhardus Vos (the "Biblical-Theological" approach). As the "dispensational" movement captured the hearts and minds of conservative American Evangelicals, amillennialism was equated with "liberalism" or Roman Catholicism. The supposed interpreting prophecy "spiritually" or "not-literally" has lead to the rejection of amillennialism by many. In addition, amillennialism suffered greatly from the failure of Reformed and Luthern writers to defend the position against the likes of Dave Hunt, Chuck Missler and Hal Lindsey, who has labeled the position as "demonic and heretical," and the root of modern anti-semitism.

And neither was his! That makes it doubly difficult...

Well, good, then. I must have him confused with someone else.
