Participatio: Journal of the Thomas F. Torrance Theological Fellowship is an annual, peer-reviewed, online journal of the Thomas F. Torrance Theological Fellowship (www.tftorrance.org), a research fellowship within the Christian Church and tradition based on the theology of Thomas F. Torrance. The journal's mission is two-fold: to apprehend the significance of Torrance's work and to advance his evangelical and scientific theology for the benefit of the Church, academy, and society. |

The work of Thomas F. Torrance is often characterised as dense, profound, daunting, and impenetrable. More so than its style, the content is often said to be intensely academic and concerned with what many describe as an esoteric form of theology. Those who have been readers of Torrance’s work for a while have the privilege of indwelling his work, both the content and the desired goal of his theology, and we see things very differently. Torrance's dogmatic theology is neither impractical nor devoid of ethics. Quite to the contrary, across Torrance's vast literary outpoint, one can find specific discussions on a wide range of practical, ethical, and pastoral issues, and in many more places, one finds a theological foundation upon which such practical issues can be built. This volume of Participatio offers perspectives into a range of practical and pastoral issues that benefit from the close reading of Torrance’s theological offerings.
