Brief description:
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was one of the most significant Protestant theologians of the twentieth century, a legacy sealed by his imprisonment in a German concentration camp and eventual execution. His resistance against Nazism and pivotal role in the Confessing Church movement have been key points of illumination for many on the nature of Christian political witness and action. Millions have been inspired by his rich reflections on the Christian life, especially his beloved works on discipleship and ethics. As a professor, seminary leader, and ecumenical theologian, Bonhoeffer's work also profoundly shaped academic theology, especially systematic theology, and the life of the church.
Review Quotes: "Thie extraordinary volume traces Bonhoeffer's development during the crucial years 1928-1931 and opens a window into his personal and intellectual life." -- Ronald F. Thiemann "Benjamin Bussey Profesor of Theology Harvard Divinity School"
