Emil Brunner (1889 – 1966) was a Swiss Reformed theologian. Along with Karl Barth, he is commonly associated with neo-orthodoxy or the dialectical theology movement. He studied at the universities of Zurich and Berlin, receiving his doctorate in theology from Zurich in 1913. In 1919–1920 he spent a year in the United States studying at Union Theological Seminary in New York. In 1930 Brunner published God and Man and in 1932 The Divine Imperative. Brunner continued his theological output with Man in Revolt and Truth as Encounter in 1937.
