"From one of the most important theologians of the twentieth century, Ethics is the seminal reinterpretation of the role of Christianity in the modern, secularized world.The Christian does not live in a vacuum, says the author, but in a world of government, politics, labor, and marriage. Hence, Christian ethics cannot exist in a vacuum; what the Christian needs, claims Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is concrete instruction in a concrete situation. ..."

"Letters and Papers from Prison is a collection of notes and correspondence covering the period from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's arrest in 1943 to his execution by the Gestapo in 1945. The book is probably most famous, and most important, for its idea of "religionless Christianity"--an idea Bonhoeffer did not live long enough fully to develop, but whose timeliness only increases as the lines between secular and ecclesial life blur. Bonho ..."

"Lutheran theologian, Deitrich Bonhoeffer, began his academic career in the early 1930s. He founded the Confessing Church when the Nazis began to take control of the church in the 1930s. As this was crushed he became involved in a plot to assassinate Hitler, but was arrested in 1943. He was executed shortly before the end World War II. This biography, by his closest friend, shows Bonhoeffer as a family man as well as a theologian."

"He declared that when the church sees the state unscrupulously wielding too
little or too much law and order, the church's position is "not just to bind up the
victims beneath the wheel, but to halt the wheel itself."52 To halt the wheel! Who
could assume such a responsibility? Yet Bonhoeffer clearly knew what he was
saying. Speaking of the first two tasks, he envisaged the possibility that individual
Christians might feel called, ..."

In these remarkable writings we meet Bonhoeffer at his most vulnerable and human, but also as a man of faith and prayer. Separated from those he loved most, surrounded by destruction, assailed by doubt, and fearing the worst, his hope in Christ remains firm even as his death becomes more certain. And through his profound r ..."
