Bonhoeffer: A Guide For The Perplexed

Bonhoeffer by Joel Lawrence offers a concise guide to one of the most greatest and influential theologians and martyrs of the twentieth century. The book offers perplexed guides by approaching Bonheoffer’s thoughts and theologies buy using various themes, such as the prison letters as a guide for engaging his larger theological projects. Joel uses five key themes from the prison letters in this study as ways into the movements of Bonheoffer’s theology.

This approach is ideal for those who are approaching Bonhoeffer for the first time as those who are struggling with his thought, as many would be familiar with the content of the prison letters, but have failed to understand and grasp the context that is in the letters. Joel offers a concise guide to the context of these letters and the messages and theology that Bonhoeffer accumulated via these letters.
