What are the pressing questions concerning Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology? What impulses and provocations does his theological legacy offer to contemporary work in Christian theology and ethics?

A number of excellent contributions to our understanding of Bonhoeffer's theology and ethics, especially his lectures on Christology, his understanding of sin, salvation and what it means to be human, and his response to the 'Jewish question' ... It deserves to be read by all who desire a deeper understanding of Bonhoeffer's theology and ethics. * Theology * If proof were ever needed that the legacy of Bonhoeffer's life and work remain a fecund source of radical theological and ethical possibility, then these essays from T & T Clark should convince the new reader beyond any reasonable doubt. * Regent's Reviews * The essays in this volume range from discussions of big themes within Bonhoeffer's theology to close readings of specific texts, and are a rich resource for people wishing to think through the consequences of Bonhoeffer's thought for today's context ... This is a book that deserves a wide readership and that I will be recommending to my students. It provides clarification on a number of Bonhoeffer's more dense theological texts, and forcefully propels Bonhoeffer's ideas into contemporary debates. * The Journal of Theological Studies * This collection certainly provides, as [Mawson and Ziegler] write, 'a new and invaluable basis for a re-assessment of the corpus as a whole'. * Reviews in Religion and Theology * [A] rich collection of essays. * The Expository Times * Bonhoeffer studies is at an exciting juncture. With the completion of the seventeen volume critical edition of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Werke in German and English, a new generation of scholars is reassessing his work with new eyes. They are finding him to be an invaluable interlocutor even given contemporary developments in theological and ethical debate. This next stage of Bonhoeffer scholarship requires deep textual analysis alongside critical and creative appropriation. These essays should be our guide. * Jennifer McBride, Wartburg College, USA * A brilliant and well edited collection of essays that touch on the topics at the heart of both current and historic Bonhoeffer research. * Ralf Wustenberg, University of Flensburg, Germany * For readers looking for guides through the bewildering array of interpretations of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life and thought, they could not do better than the group of scholars represented in this volume. These essays put into historical and intellectual context the import of Bonhoeffer's work for our own time and place. I would particularly recommend it for those teaching classes and seminars on the continuing legacy and relevance of Bonhoeffer in the twenty-first century. * Barry Harvey, Baylor University, USA *
