All of Him for All of Us

T. F. Torrance’s theology has found a warm reception from some theologians in the Wesleyan tradition. This essay examines the similarities and differences in Torrance’s and John Wesley’s Christologies, specifically concerning the person of Christ and his munus triplex. After sketching the two men’s distinctive missions as a background, the essay first considers Wesley’s and Torrance’s shared commitment to the orthodox dogma of Christ’s person and defends both of them against allegations of heterodox tendencies. Secondly, the essay explores convergences and complementary emphases in Wesley’s and Torrance’s handling of Christ’s threefold office, concluding with ways that Wesleyanism can repay its debt of enrichment by Torrance’s theology.
