Torrance's Christology. specifically, that Jesus Christ assumed fallen and sinful humanity and, dwelling out a sinless lifestyles from inside of our alienated country, healed our human nature. it is a declare that's conceptually easy to Torrance's integration of incarnation and atonement, and hence to his soteriology as a complete. it really is pervasive nature and its importance in the total constitution of Torrance's concept is punctiliously and sympathetically set forth. Christ's assumption of sinful flesh is noticeable to lie beneath a few disputed components in Torrance's idea corresponding to the position, or lack thereof, of human accountability, and the query of universalism. This paintings not just illuminates, yet conscientiously examines the declare that "the unassumed is the unhealed."
