The Torrance dogmatics lectures

Abstract

The recent publication of Torrance’s dogmatics lectures, given to students at New College in the University of Edinburgh from 1952 to 1978, have provided us with a way into his theology that is both accessible and profound. This paper outlines the nature, aim and character of the lectures and picks out some of the main themes from them in order to give a wider overview of some of their most fundamental and distinctive concepts.
