Prison Meditations of Father Alfred Delp

More about the book

Reflections on gospel wisdom by a modern martyr highlight the enduring significance of faith amid societal turmoil. Written by a German Jesuit priest and philosopher involved in the resistance against Nazism, these insights resonate in a world marked by power struggles and violence. As a member of the Kreisau Circle, he faced dire consequences for his beliefs, ultimately being executed in 1945 after being wrongfully accused in a plot against Hitler. The introduction by Thomas Merton adds depth to this poignant exploration of courage and conviction.
