Opis

An innovative study of the theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, which elucidates that his work teaches and represents a Christian humanism that is also present in the wider Christian tradition.

Recenzje

the author exhaustively explores Bonhoeffer's writings, from his earliest student papers to his ruminations from prison, to make a strong case for seeing him as one who understands the goal of authentic humanization as what salvation in Jesus Christ betokens...Even for those well-versed in Bonhoeffer's oeuvre, Zimmermann offers a refreshing immersion in Bonhoeffer's development as a theologian, with the benefit of expert commentary on those who influenced him, both among his contemporaries and from the great tradition of the church.
