Letters and Papers from Prison DBS Vol 8
By Dietrich Bonhoeffer
- Release Date: 2010-06-01
- Genre: Religion & Spirituality
Despite Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s prior theological achievements and writings, it was his correspondence and notes from prison that electrified the postwar world six years after his death in 1945. The materials gathered and selected by his friend Eberhard Bethge in Letters and Papers from Prison not only brought Bonhoeffer to a wide and appreciative readership, especially in North America; they also introduced to a broad readership his novel and exciting ideas of religionless Christianity, his open and honest theological appraisal of Christian doctrines, and his sturdy faith in face of uncertainty and doubt.
