"This is the book for which many have long been waiting-far and away the best introduction and interpretation of the career and thought of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in a single volume in English. "It is comprehensive without being cumbersome... authoritative without being ponderous or pedantic... appreciative and admiring without exaggeration or sentimentality. "It promises to continue for some time to come the most valuable and inspiring single source for knowledge and understanding of this remarkable contemporary saint and martyr.”
