Résumé

Texte suppl.

DeJonges meticulously-researched, contextually-grounded analysis of Bonhoeffer's frequent appropriate of Luthers thought and specific Lutheran elements of his application of the biblical message to the mid-twentieth century world combines with the authors critical engagement with scholars who have minimized and misinterpreted Bonhoeffers deep immersion in the reformers theology. DeJonge confirms the estimation of Bonhoeffers own associates who recognized their friends appreciation of and reliance on Luthers thought in a clearly-stated, convincing argument. This volume offers sharper and deeper insights into Bonhoeffers ever more relevant assessment of the Christian gospel, the church, and society, and thus it points Bonhoeffer studies in new, exciting directions.
