If there is a weakness, it is that Vos does not show the church how to go beyond the sacred page, for the simple reason that the church today shares the same redemptive-historical context with the authors of the New Testament: “We ourselves live just as much in the N.T. as did Peter and Paul and John.”16 Whether other contexts (i.e., technological, cultural, intellectual) have a bearing on the church’s life and thought is something that Vos does not explicitly address.
See my note on the footnote.
