A study of the theological method of Emil Brunner, reaffirming his significance as one of the great contributors to 20th-century theology.

Surprisingly little attention has been given in recent scholarship to the work of Emil Brunner (1889-1966), one of the leading neo-orthodox theologians of the twentieth century. But his influence on modern theology persists to this day, offering a path to philosophical truth through faith. In Believing Thinking, Bounded Theology, Cynthia Bennett Brown explores the nature of and limits to theological thinking in Brunner's work. What results from this study is an encounter with a thoroughly biblical, warmly pastoral, carefully intellectual, and insistently Christocentric exposition of the Christian faith that remains relevant for theology and life today.
