Trinity and Transformation

"James B. Torrance was the professor with the pastor's heart. As his student at New College, Edinburgh, I particularly valued his emphasis on unconditional grace. 'The indicatives are prior to the imperatives,' he would often say. In other words, what God has already done for us in Christ must be proclaimed as gospel first before we talk about what our response should be. His focus was on teaching more than publishing, but this book will help continue his evangelical emphasis on worship, community, and the triune God of grace."

"James B. Torrance was one of the finest teachers of theology of his generation. His clarity of thought, extroverted love for the Lord Jesus, and gentle pastoral spirit all combined to leave a profound mark on those who sat in his classrooms. The urgency of his denunciation of apartheid in South Africa based on the reconciling work of God in Christ marked him as a prophetic voice among his peers. This timely collection of essays is a fine statement of the respect that he holds and his enduring legacy that continues among us."

--Andrew Purves, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary
