T. F. Torrance's Christological Anthropology

Discerning Humanity in Christ

Beschreibung

This book demonstrates the promise of Christology for developing Scottish theologian T. F. Torrance's theological anthropology.

T. F. Torrance's Christological Anthropology: Discerning Humanity in Christ engages with several key themes in Torrance's theological anthropology and considers how each one of these topics-anthropological method, the metaphysics of human nature, the imago Dei, personhood, vocation, human destiny-can be further developed in light of Christ. Christopher Woznicki argues that Christology not only holds promise for the task of developing Torrance's insights on humanity but also for developing a constructive account of humanity.

The volume is valuable reading for scholars of T. F. Torrance's theology and for those who are interested in the role of Christology in theological anthropology.

Rezensionen

"Torrance's Christological anthropology is both traditional and unique at the same time and warrants close study, especially when it is brought into a constructive dialogue with contemporary concerns. Laying out the vista of Torrance's anthropology, situating it within Christology, and extending it into analytic mode, this study goes beyond Torrance to answer the question as to where the trajectory of his thought may have taken him. This is the first full length comprehensive treatment of this aspect of Torrance's work and is one that delivers on the promise this holds out for addressing a range of modern issues."

"Dr Woznicki's book offers an inductive-cumulative argument for how

T.F. Torrance's anthropology can be developed Christologically. The result is an impressively thorough and creative study of Torrance's corpus as well as a new approach to Christological anthropology. This is essential reading for any students of Torrance or researchers interested in Christological anthropology."

- Dr Joanna Leidenhag, University of Leeds, UK.





"This is a lucid engagement by an analytic theologian with the theology of T.F. Torrance. It will inspire readers to address metaphysical questions raised not only by Torrance but by the New Testament itself - exemplifying a commitment to pursue clarity and semantic hygiene in Christian doctrine where, too often, there is obfuscation."

- Alan Torrance, University of St. Andrews, UK

"Moving beyond vague claims about Jesus somehow revealing what it means to be human, Woznicki draws deeply from Torrance's fascinating anthropology to offer a clear, generous, and valuable resource for exploring how a Christological anthropology can shed new light on human existence."
