Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a thirty-nine year old pastor when the Nazis executed him for participating in a plot to overthrow Adolf Hitler. What caused this rather cerebral, well-educated, and philosophical young man to risk his life and reputation to stand with others against the brutality of the Nazis?Never before published in English, this newly translated compilation offers Bonhoeffer's meditations and essays about the Bible across his writing career. In addition excerpts from his letters and speeches provide a personal glimpse of one of the greatest theologians of the 20th century.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Reflections on the Bible contains excerpts from Dietrich Bonhoeffer s letters, meditations, expositions, sermons, lectures, and seminar papers (translated into English by New Testament scholar M. Eugene Boring). This variety provides a spectrum of approaches to Bonhoeffer s thoughts on Scripture and its central role in academic study, sermons, teaching, pastoral care, and the conduct of one s personal life. The topics addressed in this book stretch from Bonhoeffer s thematic study of the historical-critical method to his study of selected portions of Psalm 119, which Bonhoeffer regarded as the crown of a theological life. In selecting texts for this book, editor Manfred Weber focused on Bonhoeffer s statements about the Bible and his struggle with those statements which remain remarkably relevant today for individuals and churches, for Christians and non-Christians. Arranged generally according to the flow of Bonhoeffer s life of faith, this collection is framed by selections from letters he wrote in 1936 nine years before his execution by the Nazis beginning with A Grand Liberation and ending with The Answer. In The Answer, Bonhoeffer explains what it actually means to confess faith in the Bible, the strange place where the strange word of God is heard. Engagement with the Bible involves an intensive seeking and questioning. Without this, the Bible will offer no answer.
