Torrance Tuesdays: February 2007 Archives

Here are all the audio links to the lectures given by T.F. Torrance in the early 80's at Union Theological College in Belfast, Northern Ireland:

Lecture 1 Lecture 2 Lecture 3 Lecture 4 Lecture 5 Lecture 6 Lecture 7

Robert Letham, author of The Holy Trinity: In Scripture, History, Theology, and Worship, believes that "Thomas F. Torrance (1913-) is arguably the most significant theologian in the English-speaking world of the past fifty years or more" (356). So, let me encourage you to give the above lectures a listen.

As I've mentioned several times before, T.F. Torrance's trinitarian and incarnational theology has influenced me significantly over the past few years. He's one of the few theologians whose books I always keep nearby. Recently, Ben Myers of Faith and Theology has been posting (here and here) some of Torrance's lectures from a series he did in the early 1980's. I'm grateful that Ben as made these audio lectures available. He will be adding a few more over the next couple weeks.

Lecture 1 Lecture 2 Lecture 3

In an interview by R.D. Kernohan, former editor of Life and Work, T.F. Torrance said:

I would claim that it [the heart of my theology] is deeply Nicene and doxological (theology and worship going inextricably together), with its immediate focus on Jesus Christ as Mediator, and its ultimate focus on the Holy Trinity (from How To Read T.F. Torrance, 15).
