Opis

This book analyses T. F. Torrance s theology of incarnation. His theology is built upon several crucial presuppositions. This book examines these presuppositions and their role within the framework of Torrance s theology. It explores its unitary structure by analyzing his fundamental methods in hermeneutics, dialectics, natural theology, and natural science. In particular, the study addresses the internal incoherence, inconsistency and seemingly paradoxical nature of his writings (such as the integration of dualistic ideas into a unitary theological structure), and highlights the impact of Barthian theology on his theological formulation."

Recenzje

«For one who is desirous of a hard-hitting - yet fair - appraisal of T F Torrance, especially as it relates to his views of the incarnation, this is the book to purchase.» (Bradford McCall, Theological Book Review)
