Review(s):
"Bonhoeffer studies is at an exciting juncture. With the completion of the seventeen volume critical edition of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Werke in German and English, a new generation of scholars is reassessing his work with new eyes. They are finding him to be an invaluable interlocutor even given contemporary developments in theological and ethical debate. This next stage of Bonhoeffer scholarship requires deep textual analysis alongside critical and creative appropriation. These essays should be our guide." - Jennifer McBride, Wartburg College, USA
"A brilliant and well edited collection of essays that touch on the topics at the heart of both current and historic Bonhoeffer research." - Ralf Wüstenberg, University of Flensburg, Germany
"For readers looking for guides through the bewildering array of interpretations of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life and thought, they could not do better than the group of scholars represented in this volume. These essays put into historical and intellectual context the import of Bonhoeffer's work for our own time and place. I would particularly recommend it for those teaching classes and seminars on the continuing legacy and relevance of Bonhoeffer in the twenty-first century." - Barry Harvey, Baylor University, USA
