Creation and Fall originated in lectures given by Dietrich Bonhoeffer at the University of Berlin in the winter semester of 1932-33 during the demise of the Weimar Republic and the birth of the Third Reich. In the course of these events, Bonhoeffer called his students to focus their attention on the word of God the word of truth in a time of turmoil.

More About the Author
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born in Breslau in 1906. The son of a famous German psychiatrist, he studied in Berlin and New York City. He left the safety of America to return to Germany and continue his public repudiation of the Naz*s, which led to his arrest in 1943. Linked to the group of conspirators whose attempted assassination of Hitlerr failed, he was hanged in April 1945.

This review is from: Creation and Fall (Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, Vol. 3) (Hardcover)
This is a great, Christocentric treatment of Genesis 1-3. Impossible to fully understand without having read at least Sanctorum Communio and Christ the Center by Bonhoeffer. I'm beginning to see a definite theological architecture within Bonhoeffer's works.

Entirely New Translation in a Critical English Edition,
By
This review is from: Creation and Fall (Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, Vol. 3) (Hardcover)
This entirely new translation is a part of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, the 17 volume critical English Edition being published by Fortress Press. It is based on the text of the German critical edition, the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Werke published by Guetersloher Verlagshaus. Each volume in this new English edition provides the best available English translation, correcting errors and omissions in previous versions. An extensive introduction to the text especially for the English-language reader provides the historical and theological context necessary to understand Bonhoeffer's written legacy. This new edition will become the standard edition of Bonhoeffer's writings for the nonspecialist and the scholar as well, superseding all previous translations.

Great words on Genesis 3,
By
This review is from: Creation and Fall (Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, Vol. 3) (Hardcover)
In general, Bonhoeffer's comments on chapters 1-2 are extremely philosophical, abstract, and largely unhelpful. But his work on Genesis 3 is worth the price of the book. Good resource for preachers preparing sermons on Genesis.
