"Then came the crisis of 1933." This is Bonhoeffer's own phrase in
a letter that documents a turning point in his own life as well as
that of the nation. Of Bonhoeffer's own life at this time, his
biographer writes, "The period of learning and roaming" from 1928
until 1931 "had come to an end" as the young lecturer, age 26,
began to teach "on a faculty whose theology he did not share" and
to preach "in a church whose self-confidence he regarded as
unfounded." Bonhoeffer was becoming part of a society "that was
moving toward political, social, and economic chaos." Events moved
quickly at the onset of 1933 in Berlin. In only one hundred days
the path was cleared by the German Parliament and the Nazi Party
for the establishment of the fascist dictatorship. These one
hundred days, as well as the preceding and succeeding months, are
reflected in the materials in this volume: in letters, in sermons,
in Bonhoeffer's university teaching, in manifestos and a church
confession, and in his proactive engagement in the developing
church struggle. The vast majority of these are translated here for
the first time.
