The second of the three volumes of Brunner’s Dogmatics, one of the great twentieth-century works of theology, covers the doctrine of creation and redemption. The books present a profoundly biblical systematic theology, finding a path between the ideas of Barth and Bultmann. The Creator and His Creation: Man’s Place in Creation: Man’s sin and its consequences: the Person and Work of Jesus Christ - these are the central themes of this second volume of Brunner’s Dogmatics. ‘The truth which broke through at the Reformation (though later it was again obscured) of the personal character of faith, as encounter with Christ, means liberation from the rigidity and ethical sterility of orthodoxy, and sets us free to have a faith which is based on nothing save the Love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. This truth alone can preserve us from sterile theologizing and from clericalism, and awaken in the Church a missionary and pastoral spirit. This is the fundamental aim of the present work.
