Description
Dialectic as Dialogue: Theology After Brunner is an examination of Emil Brunner's theological epistemology with special focus on his reception of dialogical philosophy, its implications for the nature and task of theology, and Brunner's contemporary significance.
This book helps readers better understand Brunner's theology and provides a fresh perspective on his legacy and the possibilities for his continuing influence. Readers will gain insight into Brunner's most foundational developments and theological commitments. In connection with Brunner, Dialectic as Dialogue also helps clarify the tradition known as dialogical philosophy and its implications as a resource for Christian theology.
Dialectic as Dialogue is intended for those interested in the life and thought of Emil Brunner, the legacy of the dialectical theology movement, and the impact of Martin Buber's dialogical philosophy in Christian theology. It will also appeal to readers with broader interests in modern philosophies of religion, epistemology, theological reasoning, and constructive claims regarding the nature and task of theology.
