Inhaltsangabe

Read Scripture alongside a courageous disciple. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was above all else a lifelong reader of Scripture whose engagement with the Bible shaped his identity, guided his pastoral work, and sustained his resistance to Nazi tyranny. Drawing from moments across his life--his family roots, travels, friendships, Harlem awakening, seminary leadership, imprisonment, and even his engagement to marry--this book shows how all that Bonhoeffer thought and did grew out of a deep reading of Scripture, which bore the fruit of a rich wisdom that called him to courage, love, and costly discipleship. By exploring texts upon which he preached and wrote letters, James C. Howell highlights how Bonhoeffer's close reading of Scripture became God's call during turbulent times, and a bold awareness that his life belonged to God, even in the face of uncertainty, suffering, and evil. This book invites us to read for ourselves today, imagining Bonhoeffer reading with us, so that we might, too, become faithful, probing, and courageous readers of the Bible and Jesus' followers in the real world.
