This beautiful, full-color gift book features intimate theological reflections by Bonhoeffer on such topics as faith, friendship, trust, and love. This is the first English translation of the original edition published by Gtersloher Verlagshaus.
Works of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Protestant theologian of Germany, concern Christianity in the modern world; for his role in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, people executed him.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer served as a Lutheran pastor. He, also a participant in the movement of Resistance against Nazism and a member, founded the confessing church. Members of the Abwehr, the military intelligence office planned his involvement, which resulted in his arrest in April 1943 and his subsequent hanging in April 1945 shortly before the end of the war. His secular view influenced very many people.
The first word that comes to mind to describe this beautiful little book is inspirational and I see no reason to use any other. Bonhoeffer’s life and work and his execution in a Nazi concentration camp should give us all cause to stop and think — about the past, the present and the future. The vibrant colours of Andreas Felger’s water colours are a perfect complement to the written words of Bonhoeffer.
Klug nach Themen (verantwortliches Handeln - Der Andere - Christsein) und chronologisch geordnet.
In der Vielzahl seiner tiefgründigen Beiträge schillert das Besondere Bonhoeffers Lebens und Leidens auch über die Zeit hervor. Ich bin dankbar, dies kleine Büchlein auf einem Flohmarkt entdeckt zu haben.
