The Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

by Ernst Feil, Martin H. Rumscheidt

Overview

"Feil's book is indispensable for anyone who wants to understand more clearly that unique Christian of our time, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and his theology."
— Eberhard Bethge, friend and biographer of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"Feil's systematic, penetrating analysis and ordering of Bonhoeffer's complete writings, seen in the general perspective of an underlying ... unity and in the particular depths which reveal that unity, is indeed awesome."
— Geffrey B. Kelly, La Salle University

"[An] excellent translation by Martin Rumscheidt.... The Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer deserves a wide reading audience among those who continue to seek the contributions of the martyred theologian toward understanding God-in-Christ in relation to the world today."
— F. Burton Nelson, North Park Theological Seminary

"There are two secondary sources that are indispensable for the study of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The first is Dietrich Bonhoeffer [Revised Edition, Fortress Press, 2000], the definitive biography by his friend Eberhard Bethge. The second is this volume by Ernst Feil."
— James H. Burtness, Luther Seminary

"A standard in Bonhoeffer scholarship, [The Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer] is looked upon as the most thorough and penetrating study of the development and interrelatedness of Bonhoeffer's hermeneutic, Christology, and understanding of the world."
— John D. Godsey, Wesley Theological Seminary
