Torrance: Faith, Worship & the Grammar of Christian Theology

“The doctrine of the Holy Trinity had the effect of grounding the doctrine of the incarnation in the very centre of faith in God in such a way as to establish the absolute centrality of Jesus Christ the one Mediator between God and man in the triune movement of God’s self-revelation, from the Father through the Son in the Spirit, and correspondingly in the trinitarian movement of faith and devotion in the Church, in the Spirit through the Son to the Father. It is thus that trinitarian thinking enters into the inner fabric of all our Christian worship and knowledge of the one God, and the doctrine of the Trinity is recognized to constitute the fundamental grammar of Christian dogmatic theology.”

–T. F. Torrance, The Christian Doctrine of God, 82.
