Torrance, Thomas F.
FULLY REAL...

"The resurrection is a fully real historical happening, so real that it remains real happening and does not slip away from us, but keeps pace with us and outruns us as we tumble down in decay and lapse into death and the dust of past history, and even comes to meet us out of the future."

Here from Thomas E. Torrance, one of the leading Reformed churchmen and theologians of our generation, is a penetrating theological interpretation of the Easter message of the New Tes- tament, which attempts to be in serious dialogue with what contemporary natural science can teach us about reality par- ticularly what scientists since Einstein have contributed to our conceptual picture of the universe.

Besides his provocative discussions of how the abandonment of dualism in recent scientific thought can lead to a clearer and more authentic understanding of the resurrection event, the au- thor analyzes the Old and New Testament concepts of resurrec- tion, resurrection and the person of Christ and the virgin birth. resurrection and the atonement, the ascension, and the parousia.
