Reviews

The time is ripe for Bonhoeffer. But, as this provocative collection shows and interrogates, there are many Bonhoeffers. At once historical and constructive, these essays make a compelling case for the place of the ordinary in his theological ethics. The result is a richer portrait of Bonhoeffer’s extraordinary Lutheran vision and witness. * Eric Gregory, Princeton University, USA *

This refreshing collection of essays retrieves Bonhoeffer’s own concern for the everyday ethics of ordinary life, illuminating its centrality to his thinking. Among its other important contributions, the volume resists harmful distortions of Bonhoeffer’s pastoral, theological, and ethical legacy. * Karen V. Guth, College of the Holy Cross, USA *
