The Modern Theological Debate

A pamphlet of 31 pages printing the notes of three addresses Torrance gave at the conference of the Theological Students' Prayer Union of the Inter-Varsity Fellowship of Evangelical Unions at Bewdley, over the New Year of 1940-41, and issued by the Union for private circulation. It is his first separately published work, written while he was minister of Alyth, soon after his studies with Karl Barth in Basel and his year teaching at Auburn Seminary. The three addresses are "The Background of the Modern Theological Debate", "The Character of Theological Thought" and "The Relation Between Philosophy and Theology": the questions of theological method that occupied him for the rest of his life appear here in outline, addressed to evangelical students.
