Abstract

Volume 1: This compelling collection of essays, articles, and article reviews arise directly or indirectly out of Torrance’s involvement in the ecumenical movement. Torrance writes, “Ours must be the task of learning together again how to confess, like the early Church, faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and God in all its breadth and length and height and depth, and therefore in the overflowing love of God. Only in glorification of God the Son and in actual encouragement of the Gospel can we produce, as a paragon, a doctrine of the Church in which our differences are lost sight of because they are destroyed from behind by a masterful faith in the Saviour of men.”

Volume 2: This second volume of Conflict and Agreement In the Church is another collection of essays, articles, and article reviews that arose directly or indirectly out of Torrance’s involvement in the ecumenical movement. These carefully considered works highlight Torrance’s thought on inter-denominational cooperation in light of the Church’s mission.
