Imprisoned and eventually executed for his opposition to Hitler's regime, the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer continues to fascinate and inspire Christians across the world. His life epitomizes authenticity, commitment, and sacrifice. Devine writes, “When a man willingly exposes himself to suffering and death for his faith and for others, we take notice and with good reason. While martyrdom neither proves nor produces a spiritual giant, the possibility does arise, and this piques a distinctive longing common to followers of Jesus Christ.”This book is published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's birth in 1906. It allows Bonhoeffer to speak to today's believer in the following areas: knowing and doing the will of God, the importance and role of the Church, the call to witness, and the role of suffering and the path to hope.

Good Interpretation of Bonhoeffer

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2006

I recently used this book for a class my wife and I taught on Bonhoeffer for our church. I found it quite helpful because it is more than a biography of him but an interpretation and explantion of his life and ideas. Divine presents good insights in to DB's views on christian community, monasticism, grace, and is especailly good on making Bonhoeffer relavant for today. An easy and informative read. The authors also shares a fair amount of him own thinking and experience on issues as a Southern Baptist Pastor.

A passionate man who risked his life for his faith and his love for Germany. Bonhoeffer was a learned and well-known Theologian and stood firmly against the Nazi regime during the second world war. His death in a concentration camp bears witness to man's inhumanity to man. His writings are an inspiration and guide to all who struggle for a better world.

Lost in translation

While any presentation of Bonhoeffer and his philosophy is a valuable thing, the author spends too much time convincing the reader of how Bonhoeffer would have approved of his own theology rather than letting the world and teachings stand of their own accord.

While much of this is obviously quite academic in its style, I found this to be an incredibly thoughtful and challenging focus on Bonhoeffer as theologian and political activist. It's not an easy read, but it's well worth the time necessary to do it justice.

great primer on Bonhoeffer thought

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2014

Devine has written a very accessible work that outlines the major tenants of Bonhoeffer's writing and thinking. His application to modern evangelicalism is a unique contribution and one that he handles well in this volume. Highly recommended.

A great read on solid theology. Bonhoeffer is a role model for us all. Time to read his bio. Highly recommended.

Divine words from Devine!

Great! The first part is an abridged biography for those not already familiar. But the teeth is really the topical analysis of today's issues - during DB "corpus"!
