Emil Brunner’s meditations on Paul’s letter to the Romans that has long been foundational to Christian belief.


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.

Emil Brunner (1889-1966) was one of the leading theologians of the twentieth century, and helped pave the course of modern Protestant theology. He was Professor of Systematic and Practical Theology at the University of Zurich and lectured around the world. His extensive writings published by James Clarke & Co. include The Great Invitation and Dogmatics.
