Christ Condemned Sin in the Flesh

Thomas F. Torrance's doctrine of Soteriology and its ecumenical significance

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Thomas F. Torance argues that St. Paul teaches
that God has truly dealt with sin and guilt, and
thus brought forth the new creation, by
Christ coming in the likeness of sinful flesh to
condemn sin in the flesh. Thus, I argue that
Torrance's soteriological doctrine of ontological
healing provides the Church with a profound and
radical way of understanding the biblical teaching
that Christ condemned sin in the flesh, by making
evident the intrinsic relationship between the
incarnation and atonement.
Furthermore, Torrance gives the Church a
way of integrating central forensic aspects of
salvation within the larger framework determined by
participatio Christi and ontological healing. This
move by Torrance has profound ecumenical
significance in that it points toward a way of
reconciling some historic Eastern Orthodox concerns
with those of the Western tradition.
