An Introduction to Torrance Theology by Gerrit Dawson

Exploring the relevance of Torrance Christology, this book offers an introduction to the Torrance tradition and advances the Torrance thought along different avenues of theological exploration.
"These essays communicate a lively sense of the theological and pastoral cogency of what the Torrance brothers have to say about the person and work of ChristFor pastors and theologians alke, there is much here to stimulate fresh thought about the gospel." Professor John Webster, King's College, Aberdeen -- Professor John Webster, King's College, Aberdeen
"The stunning lucidity of Christ's two-fold ministry of revelation and reconciliation as exemplified in the theology of the Torrance brothers is illuminated and illustrated in this collection of essays. This "Torrance reader" is not only a tribute to a multigenerational theological family but a compelling case for a truly evangelical theology that pursues grace into the very heart of God and follows it back out again into the hurt of humanity. A Torrance theology is not just another theological option, it is the very soul of theology, because it has both a beginning and an end in the One who is, who was, and who is to come. Here is what postmodern pilgrims have been searching for, truth that can be trusted and reality that shines through the fog of faith. These essays will renew and refresh the sermons of every preacher and rekindle in students their lost-love of theology." Ray S. Anderson, Senior Professor of Theology and Ministry, Fuller Theological Seminary -- Ray S. Anderson, Senior Professor of Theology and Ministry, Fuller Theological Seminary
'[This work] is best suited for beginning students or pastors who share the book's goal of revitalizing the Church through a deeper understanding of the Triune, incarnate God and his gospel.' Theology, May 2009
... a useful introduction to key Christological motifs in the theologies of the Torrance brothers. -- Journal of Reformed Theology 4
