Letter to the Romans
The Letter to the Romans, in Emil Brunner's estimations, is, of all the books of the Bible, the closest to a theological treatise. Throughout centuries of Christian history, much has depended on the understanding and evaluation of Paul's letter to the Romans.Theologians have continued to consider the central questions of interpretation: what did Paul want to say to the Romans, and what does God want to say to us today? In Brunner's meditation on the great Epistle, he elucidates the Pauline arguments and interpretations which have long been foundational to Christian belief.

Dogmatics III
One of the great twentieth-century works of theology, Emil Brunner's Dogmatics series presents a profoundly biblical systematic theology. Finding a path between Barth and Bultmann, Brunner explores key doctrines such as the doctrine of God, creation and redemption, and the doctrine of the church and of faith. These foundational texts from a leading theologian of the 20th century are crucial for scholars and students, illuminating how modern Protestant theology was formed in the last century. The third and final volume focusses on the theology of the Church as a reflection of God's self-revelation through the Holy Spirit, and an eternal consummation of Divine self-communication. Drawing together the understanding gleaned in the previous two volumes, Brunner addresses the nature of the church and faith to bring his systematic biblical theology into the experiences of his readers.

Man in Revolt
In Emil Brunner's treatise on the nature of mankind he explores what Darwin, Nietzsche, Marx and Freud, despite their differences, all overlooked: the contradiction at the heart of human experience. This contradiction is comprehensible only through a God who illuminates what we should be, who makes communication possible through his Word and our ability to respond. A transcendent, metaphysical exploration of the human condition, in Man In Revolt Brunner centres the Biblical doctrine of humankind to reveal the truth being sought in the endless human search for understanding. Focussing on responsibility as the key to personality, Brunner explores how an understanding of ourselves as created in the image of God offers an insight into our responsibility. With profound penetration and power, he considers the timeless questions of individuality and community, men and women, and our souls and bodies. An incisive and enduring work, Man in Revolt brings Brunner's piercing argument to the question at the centre of our understanding of ourselves - and our relation to the world we live in.

Divine Imperative
"What ought we to do?" is the guiding question of Emil Brunner's The Divine Imperative. Here this age-old question is taken up by Brunner and is answered in light of his Reformed Christian theology. Dubbed a "Protestant Ethic", The Divine Imperative is a systematic ethical treatise, and for Brunner the first to be centred around the Reformed faith.Here Brunner lays the groundwork for a Christian conception of the moral life in a world where morality itself is often doubted or denied. Animated by the need to respond to an encroaching moral relativism, where many believe that there is no true Right nor Wrong, no true Good nor Evil, Brunner provides an answer to the problem of ethics and morality in the modern age. In doing so, Brunner engages with a wide range of theoretical and practical issues: from philosophy's rationalisation of morality, to the crisis of marriage, to the task of the Christian living under capitalism.

I Believe in the Living God
Emil Brunner is best known as one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century, but I Believe in the Living God is a reminder that he was also an exceptional preacher. With twelve sermons rooted in the Apostles' Creed, Brunner shows how faith in Jesus Christ is inclusive of the facts to which the creed refers and what this means in our lives - both individually and socially.Intended for the layman, Brunner recognises how remote the creed can feel and so interprets it in a way that accounts for the difference between first-century minds and our own. For him the Apostles' Creed is a living proclamation of the Christian faith and a powerful attestation to the reign of Christ. Eloquently written and engagingly presented, I Believe in the Living God inspires faith.

Law and Gospel in Emil Brunner's Earlier Dialectical Theology
The Swiss Reformed Theologian Emil Brunner was one of the key figures in the early 20th century theological movement of Dialectical Theology. In this monograph David Gilland offers an account of Bruner's earlier theology in relation to one of the central themes of the Protestant Reformation: Law and Gospel.He examines Brunner's early relationship with fellow Swiss Reformed theologian, Karl Barth and provides a detailed reading of a variety of Brunner's essays from the early to mid-1920s, centering on Brunner's efforts to use the law-gospel relationship to establish a basis for Christian theology. After analyzing the influence this has on Brunner's theological method, Gilland examines Brunner's earliest text on Christology, The Mediator (1927). In light of the preceding analysis, the fourth chapter provides a careful reading of Brunner's controversial polemic against Karl Barth, Nature and Grace (1934).The monograph concludes with reflections on Brunner's earlier theological work and his turbulent relationship with Karl Barth.

Faith, Hope and Love
Faith, hope, and love are central tropesin Christian teaching, and indeed are increasingly common in generalvernacular, yet Swiss theologian Emil Brunner found the triad lacked thethorough theological study they demanded. These three words, Brunner argues,represent the totality of what it means to be Christian: faith as a receptableof God's timeless love, hope as our faith in what God has done inChrist, and the giving of love which makes humans truly human. To Brunner, faith, hope, and love areessential and total, reflecting the relation to Jesus in the three dimensionsof time - the past, present, and future. Faith, Hope, and Love,originally delivered as the Earl Lectures in Berkeley, California, in 1955, thereforerepresents Brunner's accomplished expression on the significance and importanceof these three values to Christians.
