In this book, the problem of the reality of salvation is addressed by T.F. Torrance’s doctrine of ‘the vicarious humanity of Christ.’ Through this approach, salvation as humanization is affirmed, yet without the problems of anthropocentric theologies. This book is unique in that it offers both a survey of contemporary Christian thinking on salvation as well as a constructive alternative based on Torrance’s doctrine, a significant yet neglected contribution to modern theology.

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.
