The shape of Torrance theology

Abstract

For Andrew Purves, ‘shape’ is too static a concept to delineate the theology of T. F. Torrance. Rather, his is a theology on the move, based as it is on knowledge of God in, through, and as Jesus Christ. His paper explores the Christological nature of Torrance’s kinetic theology focussing on the homoousial relationship between Christ and the Father; the relationship between the incarnation and the atonement; and the two-fold ministry of Jesus Christ, ministering the things of God to humankind and the things of humankind to God.
