Thomas F. Torrance was a pioneer in the field of Systematic theology. Widely recognized for his brilliance, his work remains startling in its innovation: his thought on the holy Trinity is showcased here in The Christian Doctrine of God. This work really is for everyone working in systematic theology, from beginning students through to established academics. Torrance offers here a detailed analysis of the most profound aspect of the Christian faith - the Holy Trinity. He adopts a holistic approach when examining the inter-relatedness of the three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - and their dynamic Communion with the being and nature of God.
Torrance manages to combine a rich wealth of learning with exciting new perspectives as he builds a bridge between the ancient and the modern, as well as between Roman and Protestant theology. He engages with the Church Fathers to discuss the ontological nature of God and, in the end, conveys a simple message: the doctrine of the Trinity is the doctrine of God.
This new edition includes a new introduction written by Professor Paul D. Molnar, St John's University, USA, in which Torrance's work is located in its modern context, and he considers the ways in which it continues to influence the way we think about the Trinity today. Find it online here.
