Encounters with Dietrich Bonhoeffer



Quantity:

Gerhard Ludwig Müller

It is not typical that Catholic bishops write about a Protestant martyr, but Gerhard Ludwig Müller--archbishop of Regensburg and prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith--has long studied the work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In his newest work, he offers a concise introduction to Bonhoeffer's life, teaching and martyrdom in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945.

This accessible book offers a thorough introduction to Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his theology. Müller cogently presents the development of Bonhoeffer's thought over years and weighs the influence Catholic theology had on his work and piety. Müller shows how Bonhoeffer bears witness for all Christians through a powerful theme in Bonhoeffer's life--his relation to Christ and his concept of a "discipleship" that transforms one's entire existence. In this way Müller puts forward Bonhoeffer as a touchstone of the connectedness of Christians for ecumenical dialogue.
