Theological Science in retrospect

Abstract

Re-reading T. F. Torrance’s Theological Science with the experience gained from thirty-five years in Christian ministry, Peter Forster finds a practical simplicity at the core of this famously difficult work. His paper explores specific aspects of Torrance’s understanding of the relation between theology and modern science, remarkable not only for its pioneering achievement but also for the fact that it came from the very heart of his own Christian conviction and experience.
