<p>Here is a book that sets our worship, sacraments, communion and language of God back on track. In a day when refinement of method and quality of experience are the guiding lights for many Christians, James Torrance points us to the indispensable who of worship, the triune God of grace. Worship is the gift of participating through the Spirit in the incarnate Son's communion with the Father, writes Torrance. This book explodes the notion that the doctrine of the Trinity may be indispensable for the creed but remote from life and worship. Firmly rooted in Scripture and theology, alive with pastoral counsel and anecdote, Torrance's work shows us just why real trinitarian theology is the very fiber of Christian confession.</p>

Excerpt from The Nature of the Atonement: And Its Relation to Remission of Sins and Eternal LifeThe kindness and love of God our Saviour towards man - the grace of God which hath appeared bringing salvation to all men - has a twofold aspect; the one retrospective, referring to the evil from which that grace brings deliverance; the other prospective, refer ring to the good which it bestows. Of that evil men have the varied and sad experience, as they have also feelings that may be interpreted as longings after that good; but that experience is unintelligent and these longings are vague, and the grace which brings salva tion is itself the light which reveals both our need of salvation, and what the salvation is which we need; explaining to us the mystery of our dark experience, and directing our aimless longings to the unknown hope which was for us in God.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
