"The witness and ideas of theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer continue to gain attention and interest fifty years after his execution by the Nazis for his involvement in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler." "Forged in the crucible of his struggle against Nazism, Bonhoeffer's striking notions of "religionless Christianity," costly grace, and direct religious engagement with political forces - along with his own martyrdom - still speak directly to the situation of Christians and Christianity now. Crystallized in fifty passages, Bonhoeffer's key insights are here powerfully presented, along with meditations by Bonhoeffer scholar and churchman Wayne Whitson Floyd that address their meaning and significance for today."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
