I would like to express my gratitude to those who helped me to complete this dissertation. In particular, I want to thank a number of people at Princeton Theological Seminary, where I spent six weeks doing research on the topic. Special thanks go out to Dr. Iain Torrance for his guidance, encouragement, and for kindly granting me permission to use his father’s unpublished writings. Thanks also to the staff in the archival section of the Princeton Seminary Library, especially to Dr. Clifford Anderson and Kenneth Henke for all their assistance. All the staff there helped to make my visits to Princeton both productive and pleasant.

I also profited from the assistance of two archivists overseas. Thanks to Sarah Duffield at the Church of England Record Centre and to Hans-Anton Drewes at the Karl Barth Archiv for kindly responding to my requests.

There are a number of people in Canada I must mention. I am especially grateful to my former pastor, Dr. Richard Topping, for taking the time out of his summer vacation to proofread carefully the entire manuscript. His support and friendship over the years have also meant a lot to me. A word of appreciation also goes out to Dr. Joseph McLelland for sharing his first hand knowledge of Torrance’s lectures on eschatology in 1952. Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Douglas Farrow, my supervisor at McGill University, for introducing me to Torrance’s eschatology many years ago and for helping me to complete a dissertation on this topic.
