Emil Brunner

This booklet offers an initial acquaintance with the life and thought of Emil Brunner - the eminent Swiss theologian who had been highly influential in the movement commonly called neo-orthodoxy. Brunner has perhaps most profoundly influenced the theological dialog e of this century through his effort to restore to theology its proper task: believing thought about the revelation of God in Christ. The author sets forth positively Brunner's contribution to our understanding of the Christian faith. At the same time, he lays bare weaknesses inherent in the position of this important theologian. -- Publisher (back cover)
