Geerhardus Vos (1862-1949) was a Dutch-American theologian who taught Biblical Theology at Princeton. I think he’s one of the most important theologians of the 20th-century and find that he’s highly influenced my views both of scripture and the Kingdom of God. In 1903, he wrote a tract entitled The Teaching of Jesus Regarding the Kingdom of God and the Church, an exceptionally incisive volume that covers a range of topics concerning the Kingdom. (You can actually purchase a copy here).
Some of the same ideas he covers in his book he also explored in briefer form a few years earlier in an essay for The Bible Student entitled “The Kingdom of God.” The full essay is available from Biblicaltheology.org here. (Many other Vos articles are also available on the site.) It is a fascinating read, as is his entire book on the subject.
