Description
Ethics is the culmination of Dietrich Bonhoeffers theological and personal odyssey. Using the acclaimed DBWE translation, adapted to a more accessible format, this new edition features an insightful introduction by Clifford Green and supplemental material from Victoria J. Barnett. Though caught up in the vortex of momentous forces in the Nazi period, Bonhoeffer systematically envisioned a radically Christocentric, incarnational ethic for a postwar world, purposefully recasting Christians relation to history, politics, and public life. This edition allows all readers to appreciate the cogency and relevance of Bonhoeffers vision.
