Rezensionen

(Freedom in Orthodoxy, 1 February 2014)
"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."
Paul Janz, King's College London
"McGrath's consummate skills as both a theologian and an historian are masterfully at work in this penetrating and highly illuminating study arguing for the importance and continuing vital relevance to current theological and cultural debates of one of the 20th century's largely forgotten major theological voices. Exhibiting the same sagacious understanding, balanced discernment and astute critical insight that we have come to admire and value so highly in McGrath, this intensively researched and captivating book brings together for the first time an enormous wealth of original source material yielding important new insights and contexts for a compelling reassessment and reappropriation of Brunner's legacy. The book as such will serve not only as an inspired catalyst for renewed attention to Brunner but also as an indispensable resource base for further research, whether on Brunner himself or on the doctrinal and cultural issues that animated him and to which he continues to contribute so richly and relevantly."
Paul S. Fiddes, University of Oxford
"Professor McGrath offers us a brilliant reassessment of a theologian who has for long languished in the shadow of Karl Barth. It needs no less than an author with the wide-ranging skills of a theologian, intellectual historian and expert in the interface between science and religion to bring to light the neglected contribution of Emil Brunner to the theology of the twentieth century. Brunner's comprehensive vision for doctrine, theology of nature, missiology, ethics, practical theology and apologetics is exposed by an author who has himself produced formative work in all these areas. Neither simply a biography nor a mere introduction to Brunner's theology, this deeply-researched and engaging study traces the emergence of Brunner's thought in its cultural context, recognizes its flaws and yet recovers a challenge for the involvement of theology in the culture of our present time."
Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, Fuller Theological Seminary and University of Helsinki
"McGrath's meticulously researched and lucid exposition and assessment of Emil Brunner's legacy is a landmark publishing event not only for the better understanding of modern Reformed theology but also of twentieth-century theology at large."
