Jason Radcliff delves into T. F. Torrance's interpretation of the church fathers, highlighting his innovative reconstruction of the patristic tradition within a Reformed, evangelical, and ecumenical framework. The book reveals how Torrance sees the Fathers and Reformers as interconnected, leading to significant shifts in traditional understandings. Central to his thought is a Christocentric focus on the Nicene homoousion and the influence of Athanasius of Alexandria. Radcliff further examines Torrance's expansive ecclesiology and its impact on contemporary ecumenical dialogue.
