Reflections on the Bible: Human Word and Word of God - Tapa blanda

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a thirty-nine year old pastor when the Nazis executed him for participating in a plot to overthrow Adolf Hitler. What caused this rather cerebral, well-educated, and philosophical young man to risk his life and reputation to stand with others against the brutality of the Nazis?Never before published in English, this newly translated compilation offers Bonhoeffer's meditations and essays about the Bible across his writing career. In addition excerpts from his letters and speeches provide a personal glimpse of one of the greatest theologians of the 20th century.

"If one is looking for a good devotional text for the Advent or Lenten seasons, Weber's edition is quite suitable. Just as Bonhoeffer frequently pondered a single Bible verse for a week's duration, one might be caught doing the same with some of Bonhoeffer's own reflections on the Word of God. They have a way of staying with a person. A cursory comparison of the English renditions with the critical edition indicates the translator has faithfully executed his task."--"Concordia Journal"
