Christ doesn't provide a praxis. That is why Brunner is important: he founds a science of spiritualized living.

So in the all time world ranking of geniuses it goes Jesus #1, Brunner #2.

Or is it the other way around?

Brunner saw genius as a kind of general fund of thought to which the greatest contributors were Christ and Spinoza. His own role was to operationalize this fund, making it accessible for practical pursuits.

There is really no such thing as "a science of spiritualized living". You may mean "faith-based spiritualized living".
