The legacy of Professor Thomas F. Torrance

Abstract

As a former student of T. F. Torrance, John Miller is able to give a personal insight into the profoundly rich theological legacy left by Torrance to those who studied under him. While the day-to-day realities of ministry in a deprived urban parish in Glasgow meant that Dr Miller found it necessary to supplement what he had learned in Torrance's Dogmatics class with a new theological language informed by Liberation Theology, his paper considers various ways in which the rich grounding he had been provided with nevertheless remained at the core of his theological thinking.
