Incarnation and Physics : Natural science in the theology of thomas f. torrance

Thomas F. Torrance, Professor Emeritus of Christian Dogmatics at the University of Edinburgh, is perhaps the most prominent theolgian to have taken seriously the challenge posed to theology by the natural sciences. He has constructed a thoroughly Christian model for interaction between the two disciplines, a model which does not begin from pure philosophical presuppositions but from the theological heart of the Christian Church: the incarnation. This book offers a clear and thorough overview of Torrance's insights into the theology - science dialogue. At the same time it presents a critical study of Torrance's Christological model, evaluating its significance for the relationship between theology and science.
