Synopsis

In this book on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, author Sabine Dramm examines the twentieth centurys best-known German pastor and theologian. This is a book about Bonhoeffers vibrant Christian faith and his profound yet very practical theological thinking. Although Dietrich Bonhoeffers passionate life and dramatic death are familiar territory, this book examines his life and the death he accepted in resistance to Hitler in the context of his faith and thought, as found in his own writings. Dramm explores Bonhoeffers sermons, letters, articles, and books. She offers her readers an outstanding introduction to the breadth of his writing and the depth of his theological thinking, and traces how Bonhoeffers beliefs and understandings led him to active resistance to the Nazi regime: to the establishment of alternative church groups, to espionage, and ultimately to conspiracy to overthrow the government by assassinating Hitler.|In this book on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, author Sabine Dramm examines the twentieth centurys best-known German pastor and theologian.
