"'The future seems to be full of promise and excitement. Certainly at no time for nearly a millennium and a half has the opportunity for genuine theology been greater, since the ground has been cleared in the most remarkable way of the old dualist and atomistic modes of thought that have plagued theology for centuries. It is, therefore, up to us as theologians to develop theology on its own proper ground in this scientific context, if only because this is the kind of theology needed to change the foundations of modern life and culture, and the kind of theology that can support the message of the Gospel to mankind, as, in touch with the advances of natural science, theology comes closer and closer to a real understanding of the creation as it came from the hand of God.' - Thomas F. Torrance, from the Conclusion"
