5.0 out of 5 stars A concise defense of Christian epistemology, April 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Reality & Evangelical Theology: The Realism of Christian Revelation (Paperback)

T. F. Torrance has been an important voice in Protestant theology for over 50 years. This relatively brief book offers an accessible summary of what he takes to be theology's claims to speak truth about reality. His writing is marked by an impressive awareness of historic Christian theology combined with an equally impressive awareness of contemporary writers such as Dummett, Gadamer, and (above all) Polanyi. Anyone interested in Christian epistemology should be aware of Torrance, and this book is a fine place to start.
