Thomas F. Torrance

The Doctrine of Grace in the Apostolic Fathers (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

T.F. Torrance aims in this book to discover how and why there came about in the early history of the Christian Church the enormous difference that exists between the faith of the New Testament and that of the second and third centuries. He explores how the concept of grace is distinctively characteristic of every doctrine of the New Testament, and yet at the same time is the most sensitive to change.
