Persons, powers, and pluralities toward a Trinitarian theology of culture

Torrance's work suggests that Christian assumptions in the areas of God, creation, and humanity had an important influence upon the development of Western scientific culture. This book develops each of these areas of Torrance's thought in order to articulate a theology of culture rooted in a Christian understanding of God as triune, creation as contingent, and human persons as stewards created in the image of God. Drawn together, these three areas of Torrance's thought suggest that human culture and cultural plurality ultimately originate in the creation of a triune God, mediated through the creative activity of the human creature as it engages in a contingent created order in its attempts to foster human flourishing and to bear witness to its creator. The result is not only a unique contribution to the emerging secondary material on Torrance's work, but also a contribution to the field of theology of culture as a systematic locus in its own right.

  • ""Through an in-depth analysis and exploration of the writings of the Scottish Reformed theologian Thomas F. Torrance, Flett articulates a theology of culture that places the Trinity at the heart. Torrance's work suggests that Christian assumptions in the area of God, creation, and humanity had an important influence on the development of Western scientific culture. PERSONS, POWERS AND PLURALITIES develops each of these areas to articulate a theology of culture rooted in a Christian understanding of God as triune, creation as contingent, and human beings created in the image of God. Drawn together, these three strands suggest that human culture and cultural plurality ultimately originates in the creative action of a God who constitutes a trinity in unity. Flett develops a theology of culture that is equally Trinitarian in nature and harmonious with, yet an extension to, Torrance's overall thesis. The result is not only a unique contribution to the emerging secondary material on Torrance's work, but also a contribution to the field of theology of culture." --from back cover of book."@en
