Description
By dint of revisiting original, newly published, and unpublished sources in six languages, much translation work, and input from Hermann's son, Dr Tilman Pünder, John McCabe tells the full story of Bonhoeffer's final week. "Myths" that have grown up and been extensively reiterated can now be exposed, mistakes corrected, and perspectives broadened.
Adding more substance, colour, and depth to a previously monochrome narrative, the book's "layered approach," which includes historical material from the time period in question, aims to provide a better framework from within which to understand more fully the witness and contribution of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. McCabe proposes that a richer appreciation of the resisting spirit of Bonhoeffer (and others) may further study of, and engagement with, the Bonhoeffer Corpus.
