T.F. Torrance's seminal work, "Conflict and Agreement in the Church," is a compilation of his most influential essays and articles on the topic of ecumenism. With a deep involvement in the ecumenical movement, Torrance emphasized the importance of rediscovering the early Church's confession of faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and God, encompassing all aspects of his person and nature. This profound belief led to the development of a comprehensive doctrine of the Church, where differences were overshadowed by a unwavering faith in the Saviour.
In the second volume of this collection, Torrance delves into the topic of inter-denominational cooperation within the context of the Church's mission. He suggests that the lines of conflict and agreement within the Church are gradually shifting away from the boundaries of historic communions. While this presents an opportunity for greater unity among these communions, it also brings forth significant challenges to their collective identity.
Torrance addresses key debates surrounding the sacraments of baptism and the Eucharist, as well as the priesthood and biblical exegesis. He proposes a constructive approach, rooted in reconciliation in the Body and Blood of Christ, to navigate these challenges and foster unity within the Church.
Through his profound insights and theological depth, T.F. Torrance's "Conflict and Agreement in the Church" continues to be a valuable resource for scholars, pastors, and ecumenical leaders seeking to deepen their understanding of Christian unity and cooperation.
