| Summary: | T. F. Torrance's Christocentric doctrine of Creation prioritises the Father-Son relation as the objective basis of the knowledge of creation. However, Torrance's approach to the doctrine of creation has not satisfactorily applied core insights from his broader theological method. Specifically, Torrance's conviction that the union of God and humanity in the person of Jesus Christ articulated in the conceptual structure of the hypostatic union is normative over all other doctrines that have to do with the relationship of God and creation makes no impact on his doctrine of creation. This essay re-envisions Torrance's Christocentric doctrine of creation by extending the focus from the Father-Son relation to the person of the Son and establishes how the conceptual structure of the hypostatic union articulated through the couplet of anhypostasia and enhypostasia may be employed as a Christological structure within which to conceive of the relationship of God and creation. |
