The divine-human encounter by Emil Brunner
This book is important chiefly because it shows what havoc the Greek philosophical tradition, the abstract speculative approach, has wrought in the Christian church and how this can be overcome when the nature of Christian truth is itself understood and accepted.
Another of the great 20th century Protestant theologians (originally published in 1937) discussing the problem of natural morality and Christian ethics (Bk I), the divine command (Bk II), and the orders of human life (Bk III, marriage, family, work, politics and law etc).
