Reviews
Peter Hooton’s excellent book constitutes a significant contribution to the growing corpus of Bonhoeffer scholarship. It forensically probes the central notion of “religionless Christianity”— forensic in the sense of leaving no stone unturned but also in its search for answers, especially to the big questions, ‘What is left once Christianity is unburdened by religion?’ ‘What is left for the believer?’ ‘What is left for the world come of age?’ Finding answers to these Bonhoeffer-implied questions seems more urgent today than ever. Peter Hooton’s work takes us just a little closer. -- Terence Lovat, The University of Newcastle, emeritus Bonhoeffer's plea for a 'religionless Christianity' continues to intrigue and puzzle generations of new readers. Peter Hooton argues eloquently and with academic rigor that Bonhoeffer's prison theology can only be truly understood as an aspect of his abiding and central conviction of Jesus Christ as the truth of both God and humanity. -- Rev. Dr. Keith Clements
