Beskrivning
A wide-ranging discussion of human nature seeing the relationship between God and humanity as the key to the contradiction between what we are and ought to be.In Emil Brunner's treatise on the nature of mankind he explores what Darwin, Nietzsche, Marx and Freud, despite their differences, all overlooked: the contradiction at the heart of human experience. This contradiction is comprehensible only through a God who illuminates what we should be, who makes communication possible through his Word and our ability to respond. A transcendent, metaphysical exploration of the human condition, in Man In Revolt Brunner centres the Biblical doctrine of humankind to reveal the truth being sought in the endless human search for understanding. Focussing on responsibility as the key to personality, Brunner explores how an understanding of ourselves as created in the image of God offers an insight into our responsibility. With profound penetration and power, he considers the timeless questions of individuality and community, men and women, and our souls and bodies. An incisive and enduring work, Man in Revolt brings Brunner's piercing argument to the question at the centre of our understanding of ourselves - and our relation to the world we live in.
