“The radical significance of Christ's substitutionary Priesthood does not lie in the fact that His perfect Self-offering perfects and completes our imperfect offerings, but that these are displaced by His completed Self-offering. We can only offer what has already been offered on our behalf, and offer it by the only mode appropriate to such a substitutionary offering, by prayer, thanksgiving, and praise.”
― T.F. Torrance

“True theology is an actual determination and claiming of man by the acting God.”
― Karl Barth, Church Dogmatics, 14 Vols

“One cannot pass without interruption from Christ to the Church. The Cross stands between. In being the Body of Christ, the Church meets her Lord; she does not prolong Him, but she expresses Him here and now. She does not replace Him, but makes Him visible, demonstrates Him without being confounded with Him.”
― T.F. Torrance

“Christ has redeemed our humanity from vanity and our time from illusion.”
― T.F. Torrance
