Karl Barth (1886 - 1968) was the most influential Protestant theologian of the 20th century. After twelve years in the pastorate, Barth went on to teach at Gottingen, Munster, and Bonn before settling in at the University of Basel from 1935 -1962. He authored many books, including the renowned Church Dogmatics, The Humanity of God, and The Epistle to the Romans, the book that launched a theological revolution.
Emil Brunner (1889-1966) was the most widely read theologian in the English-speaking world throughout the mid-twentieth century. Brunner was Professor of Systematic and Practical Theology at the University of Zurich from 1924-1955. His key works 'The Mediator', 'The Divine Imperative', and 'Man in Revolt' were standard texts for Protestant seminaries for decades.
