About the Book

Through an intimate conversation with the writings of Thomas F. Torrance, Flett articulates a Trinitarian theology of culture. Torrance's work suggests that Christian assumptions in the areas of God, creation, and humanity had an important influence upon the development of Western scientific culture. This book develops each of these areas of Torrance's thought in order to articulate a theology of culture rooted in a Christian understanding of God as triune, creation as contingent, and human persons as stewards created in the image of God. Drawn together, these three areas of Torrance's thought suggest that human culture and cultural plurality ultimately originate in the creative action of a triune God, mediated through the creative activity of the human creature as it engages a contingent created order in its attempts to foster human flourishing and to bear embodied witness to its Creator. The result is not only a unique contribution to the emerging secondary material on Torrance's work, but also a contribution to the field of theology of culture as a systematic locus in its own right.

Review :
'...Flett's book offers a fine introduction to T. F. Torrance's doctrine of God and theological anthropology, and proposes an insightful reconstruction of Torrance's theology of culture that will prove illuminating for students...' Robert Leigh, Theology, Vol. 116, No. 3, May/June 2013 '...We applaud Flett for his multicultural and anti-colonial sensitivity that pervades his robust onto-theology and accentuates its integrity and intended witness respecting its transcendent object. This book offers a resourceful example of what intellectual rigour, confessional dignity, and interdisciplinary sensibility Torrance's vision can bring to the self-reflection of churches and our dialogue with social sciences...' Alfred H. Yuen, Journal of Theological Studies, Vol. 64, No. 1, April 2013 '...with a thorough investigation of Torrance's writings, and due to a painstaking attempt to bring Torrance into dialogue with contemporary theories of culture, Flett's study significantly contributes to enriching theological discussions on culture and to deepening our understanding of Torrance's thought alike...' Jinhyok Kim, The Expository Times, Vol. 124, Number 9, June 2013 "Dr Flett takes his readers step-by-step through a magnificently constructed theological vision, making it attractive and appealing as he goes along. [ - ] - it is a very illuminating and at times even quite exciting study." Gerald Bray, Churchman, Autumn 2013 "Eric Flett's 'Persons, Powers and Pluralities: Towards a Trinitarian theology of culture' draws on Thomas Torrance's work on the doctrines of God, creation, and humanity, in developing its argument." Church Times, 13 June 2014
