Analysis : Thomas Forsythe Torrance

The author revealed that Stefan Holm was obviously the star of the World Championships, while Donald Thomas was just a new competitor. In paragraph 7, the author wrote what the broadcasters announced about both athletes. For Holm, the broadcasters announced "Holm as the favorite", while they called Thomas a "'very much an unknown quantity.'" In paragraph 8, the author revealed that Thomas was clearly a novice in high jumping, while he also showed the readers that Holm was certainly no beginner. He showed this when he wrote "Thomas began on the infield, as if he were using the high jump equivalent of the short tees at a golf course."

At the center of the Christian faith is a mystery. This mystery has everything to do with the identity of God, the nature of Christian community, the salvation history and our understanding of Christology. This is the mystery of the Trinity – how is the Godhead fully three persons, and yet one nature? Theophilus was the first to name the ‘triad’ nature of God in his letter To Autolycus in 170 A.D. Tertullian was the first to offer terminology to describe this mystery in Against Praxeas claiming “the Trinity” involved three ‘persons’ of one substance. This theology emerged from the Biblical witness, even though scripture offers no doctrine of the Trinity itself. Even more so, the development of the doctrine of the Trinity grew from the early church’s worship, witness and corporate experience. When faced with a mystery, heresies can’t help but emerge. Docetism and Arianism, Adoptionism and Monarchianism, Nestorianism and Monophysitism are just a few of the heresies that emerged in attempts to explain away the mystery. And yet, theologians from the second century to the twenty-first century are faced with the challenge of witnessing to this mystery in both the theologia and the oikonomia of the Trinity. The church experiences the economic Trinity as new believers are drawn into Trinitarian community through an ongoing

Thomas Farrow was a very smart man who had a great idea and followed through with it. He decided to start a bank and run things in his own way without much oversight from other banking professionals. His stubbornness and greed got in the way of what could have been a very successful venture. He would not be the first person to make a mistake while taking on a new venture. Mr. Farrow let early success cloud his vision of a long and success bank by not listening to those who knew better. He knew that he was providing services that were not available at other banks so he set out to capitalize on those endeavors. Mr. Farrow only saw money, and this is clearly why he failed where other banks succeeded. By ignoring simply and well established banking practices, Mr. Farrow set his bank up for failure. Thomas allowed his hubris to cloud his judgment and in the end he would listen to no one.

Michael J. Himes, in his book Doing the Truth in Love, describes theology as a way of “talking about God.” Talking about God brings many questions to mind: how do people talk about God when God is a mystery? How do people converse about what they do not know for sure? Many may think theology is inherited and even theologians talk about what they have learned from doctrines and the history they have been taught. Even though theologians know very little about God aside from what they studied, they still know it is important to talk about God. As Himes states, “God is simply too important to us not to talk about.” Although theologians are still figuring out the mysteries of God, they attempt to put forth their opinions and ideas about God in order to inspire people to find their own theology.

Michael Thomas a 23-year old, 6’3, 209 pound dynamic wide receiver out of Ohio State. Look at any mock draft, any big board, or any prospect rankings and look for Thomas. What do you see? I looked at a combination of over 100 different mock drafts, big boards, and player rankings, and much to my surprise, on average Thomas was rated as the sixth best receiver in the draft.

R/s about one week ago, Thomas was admitted to Palmetto Low Country Behavioral Health Center. R/s Thomas has primary custody of Megan (13). R/s Thomas has history of drug abuse. R/s Thomas doesn’t have a place to stay.

There are always two sides to every story, sometimes even more. When discussing the phenomenon of the Santa Ana winds and their accompanying brush fires, Linda Thomas and Joan Didion each have their own side of the story. Throughout the texts, Didion and Thomas converge with one another by means of their life experiences as southern Californians and also through using sensory details to illustrate their stories. However, they do not share similar feelings towards the nature of the winds and fire. The authors diverge in this way as well as in their viewpoints on the conflict of people and nature.

Judge Thomas's past has created the conservative view points he now holds. Growing up in Georgia, his family did not have his father around since he left at a young age. After a fire left his family homeless he was sent to live with his grandfather. Clarence Thomas learned the life skills he needed and eventually had the dream of becoming a priest and working in the religious community. Dealing with racism at his boarding school he eventually canceled his dream of being a priest and wanted to work in law, even though his grades were exceptional. His rough upbringing caused him to believe only certain laws should get changed, such as the laws of civil rights. Judge Thomas has the passion for the equal rights of all minorities. Upon attending

In 1833, a wild, imposing man named Thomas Sutpen comes to Jefferson, Mississippi, with a group of slaves and a French architect in tow. He buys a hundred square miles of land from an Indian tribe, raises a manor house, plants cotton, and marries the daughter of a local merchant, and within a few years is entrenched among the local aristocracy. Sutpen has a son and a daughter, Henry and Judith, who grow up in a life of uncultivated ease in the northern Mississippi countryside. Henry goes to college at the University of Mississippi in 1859, and meets a sophisticated fellow student named Charles Bon, whom he befriends and brings home for Christmas. Charles meets Judith, and over time, an engagement between them is assumed. But Sutpen realizes

As Tillich clams “Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt”. The twentieth century philosopher and theologian, Paul Tillich argues that religion differentiates from the concept of what theologians and scientist have asserting as true. He says religion gives a key to “ultimate concern” which contributes to holy. However, Rudolph Otto, another German theologians and philosopher of his time, has a different statement about the religion and “God”. He sees religion as a rational essence. Yet both agree that religion is not dogma, on the other hand, is rational, their concept of understanding varies from each other.

In conversation with Daniel Migliore give an account of what it means to confess that God is triune. Give care to an explication of “economic and immanent trinity,” and perichoresis.

     St. Thomas’ view was of God is an infinite, all-good, all-knowing, all powerful, perfect being who created the universe and now has sole command over it. This view is known as theism. St. Thomas states that a first cause must be in order to have cause and effect now. For if we take away the first cause there would be no effect following there for the universe would have never been created which is impossible because we can prove the universe does exist. He also argues that there are things in the universe that have the possibility of existing and not existing, we have seen things that have existed and than destroyed, thus proving that there is the ability of being and not being. There was a time when

Mary Ann Fatula’s The Triune God of Christian Faith provides for the reader the inner life of God as well as insight into the human reality. Fatula’s writing draws the devotional discussion of the Trinity as the present-day effect of the Trinitarian faith is called to support attempts to articulate and live the Trinitarian mystery. The Trinity in a human’s life is the content of our definition of our human meaning and for an infinite gift: love. Each of us has a desire for achieving meaning, for love, and for wholeness. Fatula in her book develops the study of the divine ‘persons’ and states the importance of understanding what it is to be truly a ‘person’ of both human and divine potential.

The fields of philosophy and theology are often grounds of debate. While some hold these two to be relevant and dependent on each other, others find them to be completely independent of each other. In John D. Caputo’s work, Philosophy and Theology, he expresses his view of these fields as companions. Caputo states, “Think of philosophers and theologians as fellow sailors on [the] ocean,” depicting his view of the interdependence of these two fields (Caputo 69). Through his illustration we can find the influence philosophy and theology can have on each other in facilitating our toleration of such a mysterious future and world.

Torrance focuses on the understanding of trinitarian worship. Trinitarian worship is the participation in Christ’s communion with the Father through the Holy Spirit, in Christ’s vicarious life, death, resurrection and Christ’s intercession for humanity. Torrance’s view of trinitarian worship is supporting and encouraging of the doctrines of the Trinity, of God, of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and others which build upon these base doctrines. Torrance sees other forms of worship such as unitarian worship as being unsupportive and destructive of the
