| |  That is an excellent work and a must read on the psalms. Many more of Vos' works can be found online here The Writings of Geerhardus Vos

This is an excellent book. I highly reccommend it as source for the study of Biblical Theology.

I find his discussion of the Lord's "doctrine on God" and Jesus' teaching on "the divine fatherhood" to be especially well done. (Chapter 5: The Revelation of Jesus' Public Ministry, pages 389-397).
