Thomas Torrance
Obituary of Thomas Torrance, theologian and former Moderator of the Church of Scotland's General Assembly; born August 30, 1913; died December 2, 2007.Tom Torrance, who has died aged 94, was undoubtedly the most prolific theologian Scotland produced in the twentieth century, and, according to some, the most profound, writes Johnston McKay.
He was totally sure that Christianity and science were compatible but also that the way Christian theology was expressed by the great figures in Christian faith's past was similar to and reconcilable with the methods used by scientists such as James Clerk Maxwell and Albert Einstein. Not all scientists or theologians were convinced but his work on theology and science won Torrance the prestigious Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion in 1978.
