Emil Brunner

Emil Brunner was a Swiss theologian and a prominent figure in 20th-century religious ethics. He emphasized the importance of divine revelation and the relationship between God and humanity in shaping moral values. Brunner believed that ethics should be grounded in faith and that human reason alone is insufficient for understanding moral truths. He argued that the teachings of Jesus and the love of God are foundational to ethical behavior. His work encourages a view of morality that intertwines faith, community, and personal responsibility, asserting that a genuine relationship with God inspires ethical living.
