In the summer of 1933, Dietrich Bonhoeffer delivered powerful lectures
that insisted Christians encounter Jesus Christ as a living person today, as
well as in history and church life. Formulated in the face of the new Nazi
regime, a decisive moment in Bonhoeffer's own commitment to the Confessing
Church, his words drew attention to the living Christ as always the humiliated
"man for others," the lodestar of Christian commitment and service. This volume,
well introduced and contextualized by Nessan and Wind, consists in excerpts from
the 1933 lectures-strikingly relevant today-along with other, contemporary
writings from him and about him.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) studied in Berlin and at Union Theological Seminary in New York, played a central role in the Confessing Church during the Nazi period, and has become one of the most influential theologians of the twentieth century. He was executed by the Nazis on April 9, 1945, for his role in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler.
