	Thomas Torrance
		The book confirmed Torrance in a conviction that was gaining strength within him and would find expression in everything he wrote; namely, the method of investigating any subject is mandated by the nature of the subject under investigation.
		Torrance realized that the truth of the Incarnation -- Jesus Christ is God himself coming among us and living our frailty and the consequences of our sin -- was a truth largely unknown in the church, however much the church spoke of the Master or reveled in Christmas.
		From this moment Torrance knew his life-work to be that of the theologian who rethinks rigorously the "faith once for all delivered to the saints".

		Torrance's description of his mother's worshipful piety and theological intuition is one of the most endearing, recurring images within his work, and it echoes Augustine's deep love for his mother Monica.
		Torrance says in Theological Science, "it is the whole life of the incarnate Son, the historical, crucified and risen Jesus Christ that forms the core or the axis of the body of Christian theology" (216).
		Torrance says, "the basis for the real knowledge of God and the actual manifestations of his redemptive love for the world is then the hypostatic union, the indissoluble union of God and man in the one Person of Christ" (1981:160).

		Torrance argues that natural science is made possible by the remarkable correlation existing between thought patterns intrinsic to the scientist's mind and lawful structures associated with the contingent intelligibility embodied in physical reality.
		Torrance suggests that it was this Christian theological understanding that played a motivating role in Clerk Maxwell's development of the relational notion of the electromagnetic field to describe particles as never separable from their interactions.
		Torrance perceives that an underlying unity exists between relativity theory and irreversible thermodynamics, in that both theories suggest the universe is dynamic in character; i.e., both point to the historicity of the cosmos.

	BOOK REVIEWS
		BRITISH AND indeed world theology owes a huge debt to Professor Thomas Torrance, now retired from his chair in Edinburgh and one of the very few non-Orthodox theologians to have been accorded the honour by the Orthodox Church of being made a `proto-presbyter' in recognition of his work on the doctrine of the Trinity.
		Torrance is much more cautious about speaking of the passibility of God, preferring the patristic view that the Son did suffer humanly but that that is `intrinsically impossible, for in his own divine Nature he is not moved or swayed by anything other than himself or outside of himself' (p 248).
		Central to Torrance's account is his belief that `God's being is not some abstract impersonal essence, but dynamic personal Being, for God is who he is in the Act of his revelation, and his Act is what it is in his Being' (p 4).

		According to the Scottish missionary, Reverend Thomas Torrance, who visited Chengdu in 1918, the Chiang-Min are descendants of the ancient Israelites who arrived in China several hundred years before the common era.

		The plough used by the Chiang is similar to the ancient Israelite plough and is drawn by two oxen, this in accordance with the stipulation in Deut.
