Emil Brunner (Makers of the Modern Theological Mind)

Emil Brunner (1889–1966) was a pivotal figure in twentieth-century Christian theology, standing alongside Karl Barth as a leader in the neo-orthodox revival. This movement challenged the humanistic and optimistic perspectives of liberal theology, advocating a return to the centrality of Christ and historical biblical Christianity.

In Emil Brunner (Makers of the Modern Theological Mind), Dr. J. Edward Humphrey offers an in-depth exploration of Brunner’s theological contributions. The book delves into his doctrines of Christ, God, sin, and the necessity of personal faith. It also examines his views on the church as a fellowship, the role of revelation, and the Bible as the ultimate authority for faith and practice.

Part of the renowned Makers of the Modern Theological Mind series, this volume provides a critical and appreciative evaluation of Brunner's work, making it an essential read for theology enthusiasts and scholars alike.
