Thomas F. Torrance (1913-2007) was born in China in 1913 to missionary parents. For nearly thirty years until his retirement in 1979 he was Professor of Christian Dogmatics (‘Systematic Theology’) at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. A prolific writer on many topics, he has published numerous books and papers on the ‘Philosophy of Theology’ dealing with the epistemology of theological concepts and with the relation of theology to natural science. In 1976-77 Torrance served as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and in 1978 he was awarded the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion.
