Considered the "crown jewel" of Bonhoeffer's work, this volume is a reconstruction of manuscripts he worked on during the Nazi period before his execution in 1945. Theological Focus: The book presents a radically Christocentric and incarnational ethic intended for postwar reconstruction, focusing on how the church should act as a transforming community in public life. Content: This specific edition features an English translation with extensive annotations, an introduction by Clifford Green, and supplemental material from Victoria J. Barnett.
