Foreword to the New Edition: "In this new edition of The Mediation of Christ I have inserted some sub-titles into the third and fourth chapters, to facilitate their reading, and added a new chapter on 'The Atonement and the Holy Trinity'.... I have also developed further the way in which the mission of Israel and the mission of Christ are deeply interlocked in faithful understanding of revelation and reconciliation... I have also offered discussion of this subject in the book The Witness of the Jews to God, edited by my brother, the Rev. David W. Torrance..."
"To Alison, our beloved daughter"

"Many years ago I recall thinking of the marvellous way in which our human faith is implicated in the faith of Jesus Christ and grasped by his faithfulness, when I was teaching my little daughter to walk. I can still feel her tiny fingers gripping my hand as tightly as she could. She did not rely upon her feeble grasp of my hand but upon my strong grasp of her hand which enfolded her grasp of mine within it. That is surely how God's faithfulness actualised in Jesus Christ has hold of our weak and faltering faith and holds it securely in his hand." (p. 83)
