The Christian does not live in a vacuum, says the author, but in a world of government, politics, labor, and marriage. Kobo eBook (October 31st, 2015): $17. Ryan Huber examines Bonhoeffers life story and his most influential ethical writings, from his encounter with Jesus Christ in the early 1930s until his arrest. From one of the most important theologians of the twentieth century, Ethics is the seminal reinterpretation of the role of Christianity in the modern, secularized world.Series: Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works (Paperback) This edition allows scholars, theologians, ethicists, and serious Christians to appreciate the cogency and relevance of Bonhoeffer's vision. Though caught up in the vortex of momentous forces in the Nazi period, Bonhoeffer systematically envisioned a radically Christocentric, incarnational ethic for a post-war world, purposefully recasting Christians' relation to history, politics, and public life. Based on careful reconstruction of the manuscripts, freshly and expertly translated and annotated, this new critical edition features an insightful Introduction by Clifford Green and an Afterword from the German edition's editors. The crown jewel of Bonhoeffer's body of work, Ethics is the culmination of his theological and personal odyssey.
