Letters and Papers from Prison by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Letters and Papers from Prison by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

One of the great classics of prison literature, Letters and Papers from Prison effectively serves as the last will and testament of the Lutheran theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, executed by the Nazis after incarceration in Tegel Prison. Acute and subtle, warm and perceptive, yet also profoundly moving, the documents collectively tell a very human story of loss, of courage, and of hope. Now reissued with a new Preface, by one of his leading interpreters. Bonhoeffer's story seems as vitally relevant, as politically prophetic, and as theologically significant, as it did yesterday.

'With regard to composition there is hardly blemish of any kind: the grammar, the rhymes, the lucidity of expression, the consistency of style, the adaptation to various metres, the use of repition are all well-nigh prefectly formed..Very good valuer indeed!' Methodist Recorder, February 2007

Before his arrest by the Nazis in 1943 Dietrich Bonhoeffer was head of a seminary of the German 'Confessing Church' at Finkenwalde near Stettin.
