Dietrich Bonhoeffer

More about the book

Although Dietrich Bonhoeffer's passionate life and dramatic death are familiar territory, this book examines his vibrant Christian faith and his profound yet practical theological thinking, as found in his own writings. Sabine Dramm explores Bonhoeffer's 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. Dramm also traces how Bonhoeffer's beliefs and understandings led to his active resistance to the Nazi regime, culminating in espionage, the establishment of alternate church groups, and conspiracy to assassinate Hitler. -- back of book.
