T.F. Torrance (1913-2007)

Awoke this morning to find an email with the sad news that Professor T.F. Torrance died yesterday, Sunday, 2nd December 2007.

The first of doubtless many tributes to this theological giant is by George Hunsinger.

For those unaware of the greatness and significance of the man and his life and thought there is the T.F. Torrance Theological Fellowship and the works of Alister McGrath and Elmer Colyer

How to Read T.F. Torrance: Understanding His Trinitarian & Scientific Theology

If you want to hear him lecture (back in the early 1980s) there is a set of MP3s online

Many will join in giving thanks to God for him and praying for his family - many of them of course distinguished theologians - that at this time of their loss they will know Advent hope and the joy of the resurrection.
