Atonement: The Person and Work of Christ

This companion volume to T. F. Torrance's Incarnation: The Person and Life of Christ presents the material on the work of Christ, centered in the atonement, given originally in his lectures delivered to his students in Christian Dogmatics on Christology at New College, Edinburgh, from 1952-1978. Like the first volume, the original lecture material has been expertly edited by Robert Walker, complete with cross-reference to Torrance's other works. Readers will find this the most readable work of Torrance and, together with Incarnation, the closest to a systematic theology we have from this eminent theologian.

Thomas F. Torrance, MBE, (1913--2007) is recognized as one of the foremost theologians of the second half of the twentieth century. He served as professor of Christian dogmatics at New College, Edinburgh, for twenty-seven years and in 1978 was the recipient of the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. Torrance was also coeditor of the Scottish Journal of Theology.

Robert T. Walker, the nephew of T. F. Torrance, has degrees in philosophy and theology from Edinburgh University, Scotland. He currently divides his time between teaching theology at Edinburgh University and teaching outdoor pursuits in Perthshire.
