Essential writings of the Lutheran pastor who defied the Nazis and
paid with his life includes a substantial biographical introduction
by Robert Coles.
"The deeply
moving story of the dire (if ultimately triumphant) course of
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life, presented with a new interpretive hand
and opening up many new facets of Bonhoeffer's experience."--Robert
McAfee Brown
Dietrich
Bonhoeffer--theologian, pastor, martyr--is one of the most
significant Christian witnesses of the twentieth century. His
writings challenge us to address the presence of God in the world and
in history. His courageous resistance against Hitler, him
imprisonment and execution dramatize "the cost of discipleship."
The selections here,
with a poignant introduction by Robert Coles, provide a penetrating
entry into the heart of Bonhoeffer's message.
