Translating the Works of Geerhardus Vos

Richard Gaffin discusses translating the works of Geerhardus Vos (0:10), and Dr. Morven Baker discusses why Ruth is her favorite book of the Bible (3:10).

A premier Reformed thinker

Dr. Michael Horton says, “Like books, people can become ‘classics.’ Great in their day, but richer and more fulfilling with time. Not yet a classic, Vos’s never-before-published Reformed Dogmatics is more like a lost Shakespeare play recently discovered.”
