More Description

This book presents the important theology of Thomas F. Torrance within the dogmatic context that gives it its power and relevance. Torrance's view of Creation, Incarnation, Resurrection, Ascension, Reconciliation (Atonement), Redemption, Eschatology, Justification, Pneumatology, Ecclesiology and Sacraments as he understands these doctrines from within his own view of the Trinity, are all explored. Molnar illustrates how all the central doctrines of the Christian faith are interrelated and cohere in Torrance's thinking precisely because he sees them as attempts to explicate the Christian life on the basis of God's actions within history as the triune God. Where appropriate Molnar dialogues with other contemporary interpretations of Torrance's work, but the main emphasis is to present Torrance's dogmatic theology in Trinitarian context.This book offers an important resource for contemporary students of theology and for scholars who are interested in seeing how serious dogmatic theology shapes and should shape our understanding of the Christian life.
