This volume provides a comprehensive resource for those wishing to
understand the German theologian, pastor, and resistance
conspirator Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) and his writings.
During his lifetime he made important contributions to many of the
major areas of theology: ecclesiology, creation, Christology,
discipleship, and ethics. The Oxford Handbook of Dietrich
Bonhoeffer surveys, assesses, and presents the field of research
and debates of Bonhoeffer and his legacy, as well as of previous
Bonhoeffer scholarship. Featuring contributions from leading
Bonhoeffer scholars, historians, theologians, and ethicists, many
essays draw attention to Bonhoeffer's positive contributions, while
several essays also identify limits and problems with his thinking
as it stands. Divided into five parts, the first section provides a
detailed outline of Bonhoeffer's biography and the contexts that
gave rise to his theology. The contributors explore the dynamic
relationship between Bonhoeffer's life and theology. Section two
provides rigorous engagements with and assessments of Bonhoeffer's
theology on its own terms. Part three demonstrates how Bonhoeffer's
ethical claims and engagements are deeply integrated with
theological commitments. The fourth section showcases some of the
best work drawing upon Bonhoeffer for engaging contemporary
challenges, including feminism, race, public theology in South
Africa, and contemporary philosophy. In recent decades,
Bonhoeffer's theology has provoked significant critical reflection
on social and cultural issues. The essays in this section exemplify
how his writings can continue to contribute to such reflection
today. The fifth and final section consists of essays on resources
for the contemporary study of Bonhoeffer and his theology,
including sources and texts, biographies and portraits, and
readings and receptions. These essays also address pressing
historiographical issues and problems surrounding writing about
Bonhoeffer's life and theology. This authoritative collection draws
together and assesses the very best of existing research on
Bonhoeffer and promotes new avenues for research on Bonhoeffer.
