托倫斯
專門敘述被譽為二十世紀最具有影響力的改革宗神學家托倫斯(FT Torrence)的《如何認識托倫斯(How to read TF Torrance)》一書中,作者克勒(Elmer M. Colyer)對托倫斯神學的描述,總共有10處分別用到了“造(create)”這個詞。以下是相關的頁數和敘述:
Pg 82
..the incarnation of the Son of God in our human creaturely existence takes the from of hypostatic union in which the unique divine nature is fully united with a truly human nature in hirst’s one person
.…神的兒子在我們的被造的存有中之道成肉身,乃是在基督的獨一位格中,以位格聯合的形式,
Pg 103
In Jesus Christ, Torrance sees the Word of God as assimilating creaturely and human hearing and speaking as a constitutive ingredient in divine revelations….
拖倫斯在耶穌基督里看見神的道同化了被造人類的聽覺和說話的能力,並把它們當做神聖啟示中的一個組成部分。。。
Pg 104
Thus the hypostatic union between the divine and human natures in Jesus Christ, Torrance sees a complete union between God’s uncreated rationality and Word and contingent creaturely rationality and human word so that it is in the through Christ’s creaturely human word that the Word of God is mediated to all humanity.
在耶穌基督里,神性和人性的位格聯合中,托倫斯看見一個在神的非受造的理性和話,以及祂被造的理性和話之完美聯合。這讓神的話(道)可以藉由基督被造的人的話,成為萬人的中保。
Pg 155
Torrance contends .. and even to become incarnate as a creature within his creation, while nevertheless remaining eternally the God that he always was.
托倫斯主張。。在他的創造中,道成肉身成為一個被造之物,然而同時仍然永遠是那位永存的神。
Pg 159
Torrance views the creaturely humanity and suffering love of Jesus Christ as God’s actual way of self--revelation and self-communication…
托倫斯看見耶穌基督被造的人性和受苦的愛乃是神自我啟示和自我交流的實際方式。。。
Pg 165
We see the sovereignty of God personally and patiently clothed with and at work “in creaturely littleness and human weakness,” not as some impersonal and deterministic brute force.
我們乃是在神在自己的位格里、有耐心的穿上並工作在‘被造的卑微和人的軟弱’中,看見神的主權。他不像某種非位格的,頑固的,毫無人性的力量。
Pg 168
It is fact that the Creator became a creature in the incarnation, in order to redeem a creation gone awry.
事實就是,在道成肉身中,造物主成了被造之物,好拯救那些偏行己路的被造之物。
Pg 175
Christian faith asserts that in the incarnation the very Word, or Logos, of God has become a creaturely human being within the materiality of the universe.
基督教的信仰堅信,在道成肉身中,那位神的道,或洛格斯在這個宇宙的物質世界中,成為一個被造的人類。
Pg 291
It is because God has become incarnate in Jesus Christ within the creaturely human structures of space and time….
因為神在耶穌基督里、在時間和空間中的被造的人性構造中,道成肉身。。。
