Excellent! Engaging! I was particularly moved by Dr. Thornton's definition of theology setting up her method of studying and doing theology. Her gospel centered definition (much like Bird's Evangelical Theology) was both broad and yet deep, intellectual and yet relational, Scriptural and yet confessional at the same time. Both scholars have given us the best definitions of theology I have heard/read in my extensive study on the subject. I want to hear more.

Yes, Christy's definition is good and I esp. like her gospel centredness.
Thanks for this. I have encountered Torrence indirectly but will definitely check out some of his writings.
