Biography Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy

With access to plethora of primary sources (like journal entries, letters, Bonhoeffer-authored books as well as books written by historians, B’s friends, and family members) the author gives us a fulsome picture of this brilliant young man. In the days of Bonhoeffer’s adulthood (1930s to mid-1940s) people wrote a lot of letters and correspondence from and to Bonhoeffer is often quoted verbatim. So also are journal entries and other sources that place us firmly in the historical setting. We see Bonhoeffer’s growth of conviction in many areas (like his understanding of the church, the life of discipleship, necessary Christian disciplines, the role of a pastor, and above all the importance of adherence to Scripture) as he follows his calling as a professor, mentor, and pastor. As a man of principle thrust into the furnace of Nazi Germany, he becomes involved with the Abwehr (German counterintelligence) and is part of plots to do away with Hitler.
