Expected publication: 2026. Publication of papers in two issues of Participatio.
Perhaps uniquely among leading theologians of the 20th century, T. F. Torrance engaged the natural and human sciences extensively on several fronts including the history, philosophy, and theology of science. Despite a resurgence over the last twenty years of scholarship on Torrance from the standpoint of theology, his engagement with the sciences has thus far received less attention than it deserves. Contributions are welcome which explore Torrance and the dialogue between theology and the sciences in two complementary tracks: “T. F. Torrance and the Sciences in Historical Context,” consisting of critical interpretation of Torrance in historical context; and “T. F. Torrance and the Sciences in Ongoing Dialogue,” comprising critical appreciation of Torrance for ongoing work in related fields. More info: call for papers.
