Person, Personhood, and the Humanity of Christ

Theology

“In this excellent new addition to the growing scholarship on T. F. Torrance, Hakbong Kim focuses on Torrance’s Trinitarian understanding of personhood, and how, through the humanity of Christ, the ‘personalizing person,’ God has acted to restore our true humanity. More successfully than the ‘social trinitarians,’ Torrance indicates how this restoration is worked out particularly through the church, and Kim works creatively to draw out the clear anthropological, ethical, and social implications.”

Purity

Theology

“Today's widespread interest in spirituality always runs the risk of becoming a kind of folk theology, more interested in relevance than depth. At the same time, the concept of purity does not appear to have the major importance in contemporary ethical and theological discussion that it once had. This landmark collection of essays on purity and the related concept of holiness by experts in biblical and theological studies will help deepen the understanding of all those engaged in spiritual and pastoral guidance.”
