Torrance, Thomas F. Kingdom and Church: A Study in the Theology of the Reformation. Edinburgh: Oliver & Boyd, 1956; #1956-089
Foreword: "The present work has been built up on the basis of a short essay contributed to Eschatology, Occasional Paper N. 2, of the Scottish Journal of Theology.

Included in the Logos Select Works of Thomas F. Torrance collection, #2018-TFT-1-Logos.
"Dedicated to Ernst Wolf and Otto Weber of the University of Göttingen in appreciation for their work for a closer understanding between the Lutheran and Reformed Churches."
From later edition: In this book, T. F. Torrance’s doctrine of “the vicarious humanity of Christ” addresses the problem of the reality of salvation. Through this approach, salvation as humanization is affirmed, yet without the problems of anthropocentric theologies. This book is unique in that it offers both a survey of contemporary Christian thinking on salvation as well as a constructive alternative based on Torrance’s doctrine, a significant yet neglected contribution to modern theology.
