Resurrection, Apocalypse, and the Kingdom of Christ - The Eschatology of Thomas F. Torrance

Informationen zum Autor Stanley S. MacLean (PhD McGill University) is an Assistant Professor of Christian Studies at Keimyung University, Daegu, South Korea. Klappentext In recent decades few Christian themes have attracted as much attention as that of eschatology, or Christian hope. Resurrection, Apocalypse, and the Kingdom of Christ explores the meaning of this theme for Thomas F. Torrance, one of the twentieth-century's leading theologians. This study, the first of its kind, brings Torrance's eschatology to light through an exploration of the whole range of his corpus, including sermons, lectures, and correspondence. It also demonstrates that his eschatology is molded by momentous historical events such as World War II, the spread of communism, and the ecumenical movement. Out of all this, we realize that eschatology is a central component of Torrance's theology--so much so that it conditions his thinking on other Christian doctrines.
