Beschreibung
In this volume, Jason Radcliff examines T. F. Torrance's reading of the church fathers. Radcliff explores how Torrance reconstructs the patristic tradition, producing a Reformed, evangelical, and ecumenical version of the Consensus Patrum ("Consensus of the Fathers"). This book investigates how Torrance uniquely understands the Fathers and the Reformers to be mutually informing and how, as such, his approach involves significant changes to both standard readings of the Fathers and Torrance's own Reformed evangelical tradition. Torrance's approach is distinctive in its Christocentric rootedness in the primary theme of the Nicene homoousion ("of one essence [with the Father]") and its champion Athanasius of Alexandria. The book explores Torrance's inherently broad ecclesiology and constructive achievements, both of which contribute to his ongoing ecumenical relevance.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"By focusing on the internal coherence of theological ideas, the strength of the 'constructive-systematic' analysis carried out by Radcliff is that it successfully shows that the kind of historical understanding Torrance is aiming at is unashamedly constructive. ... On this score, Radcliff without doubt fulfills the stated goal of his book to demonstrate the consistency and faithfulness of Torrance's Consensus Patrum to the Reformed-evangelical tradition."-Pui Him Ip, Reviews in Religion and Theology 23:1, 2016
