Reading the Bible with Bonhoeffer | Previews

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was above all else a lifelong reader of Scripture whose engagement with the Bible shaped his identity, guided his pastoral work, and sustained his resistance to Nazi tyranny. Drawing from moments across his life—his family roots, travels, friendships, Harlem awakening, seminary leadership, imprisonment, and even his engagement to marry—this book shows how all that Bonhoeffer thought and did grew out of a deep reading of Scripture, which bore the fruit of a rich wisdom that called him to courage, love, and costly discipleship.
