The Contemporary and Ecumenical Relevance of T. F. Torrance’s Trinitarian Theology

This essay begins by applauding Paul Molnar on shedding light on T. F. Torrance’s importance for ecumenical discourse and contemporary theological debates related to Torrance’s robust and distinctive Trinitarian theology. The author begins by appreciating Molnar for comparing Torrance’s Christology with others’. Molnar decidedly enhances our comprehension by doing so. Molnar’s book provides the breadth and depth needed for this further work to take place. The entire work, though, demonstrates what is particularly and perhaps uniquely meant by theology being Trinitarian. After reading Molnar’s book, readers will have a distinct and compelling view of what Torrance thought being a theologian of the Trinity was all about. Simply put, through the Incarnation, the doctrine of the Trinity does indeed inform every single aspect of dogmatics.
