The Mediator: A Study of the Central Doctrine of the Christian Faith [Paperback]

Brunners thorough and provocative analysis establishes Jesus Christ as the Mediator between God and Man

Why should there be an intermediary between god and humanity? Brunner's thorough and provocative analysis establishes Jesus Christ as the Mediator between God and Man, analysing the necessity and challenge of this divine mediator. Central to the Christian faith and Brunner's reputation as a great modern theologian, his vigorous theological discussion considers the Jesus Christ who confronts humanity with the knowledge that they must act.
Re-examining the deity and humanity of Christ, the God-Man, and deepening the readers' understanding of the Incarnation and the Atonement, Brunner rescues these essential theological concepts from misunderstanding. Drawing his argument to its conclusion, Brunner contends that only in Jesus Christ can we know ourselves as we really are; only in Jesus Christ can God be known as he really is.GBForeword by Canon J.K.
