Conspiracy and Imprisonment 1940-1945: Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, Volume 16

Front Cover
Fortress Press, Jun 12, 2006 - Religion - 882 pages

This volume, published in the year of the one hundredth anniversary of Bonhoeffer's birth, documents Bonhoeffer's life under the increasing restraints and fateful events of World War II Germany.

In hundreds of letters, including ten never-before-published letters to his fiance, Maria von Wedemeyer, as well as official documents, short original pieces, and a few final sermons, the volume sheds light on Bonhoeffer's active resistance to and increasing involvement in the conspiracy against the Hitler regime, his arrest, and his long imprisonment. Finally, Bonhoeffer's many exchanges with his family, fiance, and closest friends, demonstrate the affection and solidarity that accompanied Bonhoeffer to his prison cell, concentration camp, and eventual death.

About the author (2006)

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was one of the most significant Protestant theologians of the twentieth century, a legacy sealed by his imprisonment in a German concentration camp and eventual execution. His resistance against Nazism and pivotal role in the Confessing Church movement have been key points of illumination for many on the nature of Christian political witness and action. Millions have been inspired by his rich reflections on the Christian life, especially his beloved works on discipleship and ethics. As a professor, seminary leader, and ecumenical theologian, Bonhoeffer's work also profoundly shaped academic theology, especially systematic theology, and the life of the church.

Mark S. Brocker is an ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and currently serves as theologian in residence at St. Luke Lutheran Church in Portland, Oregon. He holds a PhD from the University of Chicago Divinity School and was volume editor for volume 16, Conspiracy and Imprisonment: 1940-1945 in the English edition of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's complete works. In 2016 Brocker served as president of the International Bonhoeffer Society--English Language Section.

Lisa E. Dahill is Assistant Professor of Worship and Christian Spirituality at Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, Ohio.
