I was concerned about a few elements in this part of Vos, which I don’t recall you guys mentioning. First, there’s the paragraph on p. 57 beginning “Finally we must in passing touch upon the critical solution of the problem in hand. The divisive critics…”. Usually when Vos says something like this he concludes with reason(s) why this is an incorrect interpretation. I can’t find that here (unless “This, of course, requires the deletion of the words…” is that reason).

Then, in the paragraph about the Table of Nations, Vos opens with this bomb: “As a piece of word-revelation this does not properly belong to the period with which we are dealing. It is something incorporated into the Mosaic account, from whatever source derived.” Is that not a critical approach? What is Vos’ point there?

Thank you gentlemen very much for your work here. My wife and I listen to these Vos Group discussions on Lord’s Day evenings and have benefited greatly. I appreciate the careful way you guys talk through various ideas and the commentary you provide on Vos’s work. I hope that you persevere through the lengthy series that this will be. Keep em’ comin’!!

Thanks for this, I learnt a lot. It connected the redemption of Gods people from start to finish so well and the pastoral application discussion at the end, wow. Thank you so much for these podcasts, I have so much to learn.
