Quotes from Thomas F. Torrance

God mediates his revelation to human beings in such a way that he accommodates his self-revealing to human knowing and adapts human knowing to receive and apprehend what he reveals in ways that are appropriate to it.

Moreover, the fact that the Son of God became man through being conceived by the Holy Spirit and being born of the Virgin Mary, that is, not of the will of the flesh nor of the will of a human father, but of God (John 1:13), means that at this decisive point in the incarnation the distinctive place and function of man as male human being was set aside.

God draws near to us in such a way as to draw us near to himself within the circle of his knowing of himself.
