This insightful collection of essays reveals the depth of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s enduring legacy for our unsettled times. Selected from papers given at the 13th International Bonhoeffer Congress in Stellenbosch, South Africa, scholars from around the world have taken up Bonhoeffer’s question, “how is the coming generation to go on living?” in relation to topics such as intergenerational trauma, the climate crisis, and political conflict. In a world that continues to be rocked by ongoing and escalating crises, including a global pandemic and multiple wars, this question, these explorations, and Bonhoeffer’s exhortations to act and to hope are necessary now more than ever. * Lori Brandt Hale, Augsburg University, USA * Dietrich Bonhoeffer's enduring influence as a young pastor and symbol of resistance against Nazism resonates globally, offering support and guidance to people of faith and non-believers alike. The discussions surrounding Bonhoeffer and the Responsibility for a Coming Generation underscore the vital significance of his essays, intertwining his thoughts, theology, and ethics with contemporary dilemmas. Bonhoeffer's impact extends beyond his time, shaping societal movements such as the fight against apartheid in South Africa and the pursuit of reconciliation in Rwanda.
