His ethicshave been a source of guidance and inspiration for men and women in the face ofevil. Today, Bonhoeffer's theology is being read by Continental thinkers who valuehis contributions to the recent "religious turn" in philosophy. In this volume, aninternational group of scholars present Bonhoeffer's thought as a model of Christianthinking that can help shape a distinctly religious philosophy. They examine thephilosophical influences on Bonhoeffer and explore the new perspectives his workbrings to the perennial challenges of faith and reason, philosophy and theology, andthe problem of evil. These essays add Bonhoeffer's voice to important contemporarydebates in the philosophy of religion.
