J B TorranceWORSHIP & CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY I have long thought and taught that the right road into Christian theology is taken by reflecting on Christian worship in the light of the Bible. The Bible is supremely a manual of worship, but too often it has been treated, particularly in Protestantism, as a manual of ethics, of moral values, of religious ideas, or even of sound doctrine. When we see that the worship and mission of the church are the gift of participating through the Holy Spirit in the incarnate Son's communion with the Father and the Son's mission from the Father to the world, that the unique centre of the Bible is Jesus Christ, "the apostle and high priest whom we confess" (Heb. 3:1), then the doctrines of the Trinity, the incarnation, the atonement, the ministry of the Spirit, Church and sacraments, our understanding of the kingdom, our anthropology and eschatology, all unfold from that centre. - James B. Torrance, from the preface of WORSHIP, COMMUNITY & THE TRIUNE GOD OF GRACE from http://www.wqotw.org/WQOTW/2000_WQs/WQ07182000.txt GENDER, SEXUALITY AND THE TRINITY Rev Professor James Torrance T F Torrance
