T. F. Torrance's corpus of historical and theological writings contains genealogical reflections on the field of Christian doctrine. The basic shape of the genealogy is determined by what Torrance calls certain “ultimates,” theological commitments that derive their justification not from other beliefs that possess more authority than they themselves do, but from the way in which they seek to depict God in himself and in his economic activity. Core ultimate beliefs include the doctrine of the Trinity, the incarnation, and the ascension and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. These beliefs, more than the idealization of any particular stretch of past history, underlie all of Torrance's genealogical work, for instance, the subjects against which he develops sustained polemic; the overall structure of his genealogical account, which bears only a superficial resemblance to a decline narrative; and, most importantly, the point around which the genealogy revolves, namely, the epistemic reconciliation between human beings and God. This essay illustrates the nature of the genealogical narrative by outlining Torrance's treatment of Scripture and its interpretation and closes by assessing his effort as a whole. While the genealogy contains drawbacks that are worth registering, Torrance's narrative rightly avoids the sort of sweeping evaluative judgments associated with some often-discussed genealogies, and it properly places its focus on the perennial issue of divine-human reconciliation, which manifests itself differently in a variety of historical circumstances, even as it is not ultimately contingent upon them.

既不进步也不倒退:托伦斯现代神学谱系的神学基础

托兰斯的历史和神学著作集包含对基督教教义领域的谱系反思。家谱的基本形态是由托伦斯所说的某些“终极”神学承诺所决定的,这些神学承诺的合理性不是来自于比他们自己拥有更多权威的其他信仰,而是来自于他们试图在自己和上帝身上描绘上帝的方式。在他的经济活动中。核心终极信仰包括三位一体教义、道成肉身、耶稣基督的升天和复活。这些信念,而不是对过去历史的任何特定阶段的理想化,构成了托伦斯所有家谱工作的基础,例如,他所针对的主题进行了持续的争论;他家谱的整体结构,这与衰落叙事仅表面上相似;最重要的是,家谱围绕着这一点,即人类与上帝之间的认知和解。本文通过概述托伦斯对圣经的处理及其解释来说明家谱叙述的本质,并通过评估他的整体努力来结束。虽然家谱包含值得一提的缺点,但托伦斯的叙述正确地避免了与一些经常讨论的家谱相关的那种全面的评价性判断,并且它正确地将焦点放在神人和解的长期问题上,这一问题以不同的方式表现出来。各种历史环境的影响,尽管它最终并不取决于这些历史环境。最重要的是,家谱所围绕的点,即人类与上帝之间的认知和解。本文通过概述托伦斯对圣经的处理及其解释来说明家谱叙述的本质,并通过评估他的整体努力来结束。虽然家谱包含值得一提的缺点,但托伦斯的叙述正确地避免了与一些经常讨论的家谱相关的那种全面的评价性判断,并且它正确地将焦点放在神人和解的长期问题上,这一问题以不同的方式表现出来。各种历史环境的影响,尽管它最终并不取决于这些历史环境。最重要的是,家谱所围绕的点,即人类与上帝之间的认知和解。本文通过概述托伦斯对圣经的处理及其解释来说明家谱叙述的本质,并通过评估他的整体努力来结束。虽然家谱包含值得一提的缺点,但托伦斯的叙述正确地避免了与一些经常讨论的家谱相关的那种全面的评价性判断,并且它正确地将焦点放在神人和解的长期问题上,这一问题以不同的方式表现出来。各种历史环境的影响,尽管它最终并不取决于这些历史环境。本文通过概述托伦斯对圣经的处理及其解释来说明家谱叙述的本质,并通过评估他的整体努力来结束。虽然家谱包含值得一提的缺点,但托伦斯的叙述正确地避免了与一些经常讨论的家谱相关的那种全面的评价性判断,并且它正确地将焦点放在神人和解的长期问题上,这一问题以不同的方式表现出来。各种历史环境的影响,尽管它最终并不取决于这些历史环境。本文通过概述托伦斯对圣经的处理及其解释来说明家谱叙述的本质,并通过评估他的整体努力来结束。虽然家谱包含值得一提的缺点,但托伦斯的叙述正确地避免了与一些经常讨论的家谱相关的那种全面的评价性判断,并且它正确地将焦点放在神人和解的长期问题上,这一问题以不同的方式表现出来。各种历史环境的影响,尽管它最终并不取决于这些历史环境。
