Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Theology, and Political Resistance Hardback
Edited by Lori Brandt Hale, W. David Hall
Part of the Faith and Politics: Political Theology in a New Key series
Hardback
Description
In 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer—a theologian and pastor—was executed by the Nazis for his resistance to their unspeakable crimes against humanity.
He was only 39 years old when he died, but Bonhoeffer left behind volumes of work exploring theological and ethical themes that have now inspired multiple generations of scholars, students, pastors, and activists.
This book highlights the ways Dietrich Bonhoeffer's work informs political theology and examines Bonhoeffer's contributions in three ways: historical-critical interpretation, critical-constructive engagement, and constructive-practical application.
With contributions from a broad array of scholars from around the world, chapters range from historical analysis of Bonhoeffer’s early political resistance language to accounts of Bonhoeffer-inspired, front-line resistance to white supremacists in Charlottesville, VA.
This volume speaks to the ongoing relevance of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s work and life in and out of the academy.
