'But if you wish to know how these things come about ask grace not instruction, desire not understanding, the groaning of prayer not diligent reading, the Spouse not the teacher, God not man, darkness not clarity, not light but the fire that totally enflames and carries us into God by ecstatic unctions and burning affections. This fire is God and his furnace is in Jerusalem...' --Bonaventure, 1217-1274

Arthur W. Pink's The Sovereignty of God has been a benchmark work in explaining how God is always sovereign over all things. Many people in different branches of Christendom have challenged God's authority and ability to be sovereign over evil and other "non-good" activities, but Pink had that all answered when this book was first published back in 1919. This edition is a copy of the final 1929 edition which has become the textbook for explaining God's sovereignty in all things. In a world today, and in a "Christian" church, where God's sovereignty, and the authority and kingship of Christ is consistently under attack, this book needs to be made an everyday book for everyone that claims to submit to Christ's authority. Using the Bible, Pink sufficiently answers all the criticisms concerning freewill and determinism in the sovereign work of God in salvation and redemption from the evil of this world.

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. Geerhardus Vos (1862-1949) was born in the Netherlands and emigrated to the USA in 1881. He earned degrees from Calvin Theological Seminary, Princeton Theological Seminary, and the University of Strasbourg (Ph.D. in Arabic).
