The Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

By John D. Godsey

Book Overview

Most of Bonhoeffer's books are now widely known. Premature as his death was, thoughtful people recognize in him one of the most original thinkers of our time. His spiritual legacy-the most striking part of it the result of his meditations in prison under the Nazis -has begun to influence the preaching of the Universal Church. Plainly, such a theologian deserves a full and first-class study. This is now provided by Professor Godsey, who analyses and comments on all the Bonhoeffer books, including some not yet available in English, and on many of the occasional writings, setting them in the context of Bonhoeffer's life and interpreting their intellectual and spiritual significance.
