Description

T.F. Torrance's Conflict and Agreement in the Church gatherstogether his most influential essays and articles on topics relating toecumenism.

Himself involved heavily in the ecumenical movement, he wrote that'ours must be the task of learning together again how to confess, like theearly Church, faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and God in all its breadth andlength and height and depth, and therefore in the overflowing love of God.' Outof this conviction grew a comprehensive doctrine of the Church 'in which ourdifferences are lost sight of because they are destroyed from behind by amasterful faith in the Saviour of men.'In this first volume, Torrance presents a set of essays engagingtheologically with different denominations, along with responses to particularproblems facing the ecumenical project.

In particular, writing after the thirdworld conference on faith and order, he addresses the hopes and barriers itraised to closer ecumenical relations.

Throughout, Torrance's acute awarenessof contrasting theological principles establishes a firm basis for furtherprogress, without obscuring the doctrinal and ecclesiological differences thatremain.
