Since Dietrich Bonhoeffer's death in 1945, executed by the Nazis as
a political dissident, he has continued to fascinate and compel
readers as a theologian, witness, and martyr. Bonhoeffer's
theological brilliance, committed discipleship, ecumenical insight,
and courageous participation in the struggle against fascism have
profoundly shaped contemporary Christian understanding and action.
In John W. de Gruchy's estimate, had Bonhoeffer lived "he might
have dominated the theological scene in-the second half of the
twentieth century in succession to Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, and
Paul Tillich. As it was, he became the paradigmatic martyr-
theologian" for our time. In this new biography, Christiane Dietz
masterfully portrays the interconnectedness of Bonhoeffer's life
and thought, theology and politics, discipleship, witness, and
resistance, tracing the path from his childhood to his imprisonment
and execution. Brief, lucid, and imminently accessible, Tietz's new
account brings Bonhoeffer's story and work to life in a vivid
retelling, unfolding his important and widely read texts, and
including new, previously unseen pictures.
