by Eric G. Flett (Author) Through an intimate conversation with the writings of Thomas F. Torrance, Flett articulates a Trinitarian theology of culture. Torrance's work suggests that Christian assumptions in the areas of God, creation, and humanity had an important influence upon the development of Western scientific culture. This book develops each of these areas of Torrance's thought in order to articulate a theology of culture rooted in a Christian understanding of God as triune, creation as contingent, and human persons as stewards created in the image of God. Drawn together, these three areas of Torrance's thought suggest that human culture and cultural plurality ultimately originate in the creative action of a triune God, mediated through the creative activity of the human creature as it engages a contingent created order in its attempts to foster human flourishing and to bear embodied witness to its Creator. The result is not only a unique contribution to the emerging secondary material on Torrance's work, but also a contribution to the field of theology of culture as a systematic locus in its own right.

Motherhood has taught me more about God's love than any other season in my life. I love my children with a fierce love that I hadn't felt before they were born. This makes me reflect on the power of my imperfect love for them and how much more powerful God's perfect love for me must be. It's unfathomable.Motherhood has also helped me to view discipline in my life differently. Like most rebellious children, I've resented God's discipline and spent a lot of time bumping boundary lines in order to stay out of trouble. However, when I'm disciplining my girls, I see God's heart for discipline more clearly. This has become most obvious through the disciplining of my strong-willed daughter who offers a third choice any time I give her two.For instance, the time I told her she could either have cookies or ice cream for dessert, and she chose candy. I explained to her that candy wasn't a choice. She then asked what the consequence for eating the candy anyway would be and weighed her options to see if the candy was worth it.Once, when she made the right choice and listened to me, I asked her why. She simply told me she didn't want to get into trouble.The purpose of my question was to see the state of her heart. Sacrifice and obedience reveal two different conditions of the heart, as the story of Saul and Samuel reveals in 1 Samuel 15.Photo Credit: GettyImages/Tutye
