In Emil Brunner: A Reappraisal, renowned theologian Alister E. McGrath presents a comprehensive intellectual history of Emil Brunner, the highly influential Swiss theologian who was instrumental in shaping modern Protestant theology. * Explores Brunner s theological development and offers a critical engagement of his theology * Examines the role that Brunner played in shaping the characteristics of dialectical theology * Reveals the complex and shifting personal and professional relationship between Brunner and Barth * Delves into the reasons for Brunner s contemporary neglect in theological scholarship * Represents the only book-length study of Brunner s works and significance in the English language
"McGrath has written an excellent account of Brunner's theology that should, if history be kind, spark a renewed interest and consideration of Brunner as a significant theologian for the 21st century. " ( Freedom in Orthodoxy , 1 February 2014)
