Leading systematic theologian, Paul D. Molnar examines the theology of Thomas F. Torrance in three powerful essays. In a ground-breaking chapter, Molnar discusses whether Chalcedon needs to be repaired in order to recognize and maintain the full and complete humanity of Jesus Christ as the incarnate Word.He also delves into Torrance's view of justification by grace alone and emphasizes its relation to Liberation Theology. Additionally, comparing the approaches of Karl Rahner and T. F. Torrance, this book explores and explains how a number of Rahner’s presuppositions and conclusions differ from the positions espoused by Torrance, all in order to illustrate the importance of grace in theologies of both thinkers.

This is a book made up of three long, searching essays. Each could stand on its own as a short monograph; together they explicate unavoidable interconnected dimensions of contemporary understandings of Christ: nature, forgiveness and eternal identity. Paul Molnar, of course, knew my father Thomas F Torrance, and my father greatly respected him. These essays are not however (thankfully) the work of a fan or of a disciple, but of a person unflinchingly and constructively exploring the same fundamental issues forty years later with some classic and some new dialogue partners. The issues remain and Paul Molnar exhibits faith still seeking understanding.
