Synopsis

Picking up a fresh metaphor from the field of urban planning, Wayfinding with Dietrich Bonhoeffer applies a “wayfinding” lens to consider how Bonhoeffer might be a wayfinder for followers of Christ today. Wayfinding provides an accessible entry point into Bonhoeffer’s biography and body of work for any reader desiring to learn from the historical witness of a thoughtful, dynamic, and focused German pastor-scholar who took a courageous, early, and long-suffering stand against the powers of Nazism. King and Thomas travel with Bonhoeffer off the beaten path and into the kingdom of God, considering six selected themes from Bonhoeffer’s dynamic, brief life with import for contemporary Christians. With wayfinding cues and questions to help guide readers deeper into the territory of Bonhoeffer’s example, Wayfinding invites readers to learn the skills of weaving together the past, present, and future to inhabit the present with faithfulness to Christ in our cultural moment.
