Torrance has made a tremendous contribution to an understanding of the interrelations of science and theology and, especially since his “retirement†from active teaching, for his production of erudite works on Trinitarian theology. Regarding Torrance’s work on the relationship of theology to the natural sciences, Elmer Colyer tells us,
