The Great Invitation: Zurich Sermons

Description

A series of sermons, revealing Brunner as an outstanding preacher. Few theologians of his eminence combine their understanding of the central doctrines of the Christian faith with such persuasive spiritual exposition and eloquence.’Preaching,’ says Brunner, ‘is a living occurrence which can only very imperfectly be crystallised in writing.’ But the most critical judges of sermons will admit that here a master preacher moves beyond the printed page into the soul of the reader. There is a personal poignancy about the Fraumunster sermons, which places them in the forefront of modern preaching. Here a great teacher of the faith proclaims the Word of God to a ‘believing congregation’ an encounter seen by Brunner as decisive for Christian communication.
