One of the major works of the great German theologian Emil Brunner,
The Divine Imperative deals with what we ought to do. People are
unconvinced that there is an inviolable moral obligation governing
human life because they do not believe that the 'good' can be
precisely and clearly known. Haven't some generations called bad
what others have called good? Aren't moral standards relative?
Doesn't religion lack uniform and practical moral guidance? Brunner
discusses the moral confusion we face. He analyses the nature of
the Good, showing why the Christian faith as understood by the
Protestant Reformers provides the only true approach and answer to
the ethical problem. Philosophical ethics, whether ancient or
modern, cannot correctly define the Good, because the Good is
regarded either as too abstract and absolute or as too concrete and
relative. Christianity, by contrast, sees the moral problem as one
of responsibility between humans who are created so as to respond
to God. He created men for responsive fellowship with Him,
establishing orderly ways of acting in the world. Correct
understanding of the nature of society, family, state, economic
life, is needed to discern one's duty. Because Brunner's analysis
is at once fundamental and comprehensive, this book remains a fresh
and compelling treatment of the moral problem. It offers a
provocative discussion and solution of a perennial human problem.
