T. F. Torrance in Recollection and Reappraisal

This is perhaps the most engaging and readable introduction to T. F. Torrances theology around. The author writes from the perspective of having been a student in Torrances theology class in Edinburgh when Torrance was at the height of his powers painting a fascinating picture of Torrance in action as a teacher. The book sets Torrances theology in context by placing it in relation to liberal Protestantism on the one hand and traditional Calvinism on the other. It explores Torrances methodology; it offers insights on how he linked incarnation and atonement; and it also suggests how some of Torrances ideas may be extended in order to result in an even more integrated and cohesive theology. This book is a must not only for Torrance readers but for all lovers of theology.
