In 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer-a theologian and pastor-was executed
by the Nazis for his resistance to their unspeakable crimes against
humanity. He was only 39 years old when he died, but Bonhoeffer
left behind volumes of work exploring theological and ethical
themes that have now inspired multiple generations of scholars,
students, pastors, and activists. This book highlights the ways
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's work informs political theology and examines
Bonhoeffer's contributions in three ways: historical-critical
interpretation, critical-constructive engagement, and
constructive-practical application. With contributions from a broad
array of scholars from around the world, chapters range from
historical analysis of Bonhoeffer's early political resistance
language to accounts of Bonhoeffer-inspired, front-line resistance
to white supremacists in Charlottesville, VA. This volume speaks to
the ongoing relevance of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's work and life in and
out of the academy.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King, Jr. are here reassessed
for a new context and a new generation. Both combined activism,
ministry, and theology. Both took on public roles in opposition to
prevailing powers of their time. Both professed a kind of Christian
realism and ended as martyrs to their respective causes. Here many
of the leaders in Christian social thought revisit the insights,
causes, and strategies that Bonhoeffer and King employed for a new
generation and its concerns: race, reconciliation, nonviolence,
political violence, Christian theological identity, and ministry.
