About this product
Product Information
From National Book Award-winning author Martin Marty, the surprising story of a Christian classic born in a Nazi prison cell For fascination, influence, inspiration, and controversy, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Letters and Papers from Prison is unmatched by any other book of Christian reflection written in the twentieth century. A Lutheran pastor and theologian, Bonhoeffer spent two years in Nazi prisons before being executed at age thirty-nine for his role in the plot to kill Hitler. Ever since it was published in 1951, Letters and Papers from Prison has had a tremendous impact on Christian and secular thought, and has helped establish Bonhoeffer's reputation as one of the most important Protestant thinkers of the twentieth century. In this, the first history of the book's remarkable global career, National Book Award-winning writer Martin Marty tells how and why Letters and Papers from Prison has been read and used in such dramatically different ways, from the Cold War to today.

"Essentially Marty gives us a well-informed survey of Letters and Papers from Prison 's reception over the past sixty-five years." ---John S. Conway, Association of Contemporary Church Historians Quarterly, "The biography is a must for all who have their own history with Letters and Papers from Prison and who wish to revisit that story in the light of the wide range of new insights into a correspondence between two friends that wrote Church history." ---Ralf K. Wustenberg, Theology, "In my library, there is a whole shelf devoted to Bonhoeffer, whom I began reading decades ago. What has always attracted me to his writings is not only the heroic witness of his life and death, but also his instinct in a time of crisis to 'do' theology according to the quasi-monastic model he constructed at Finkenwalde. In a course on modern spiritual writers, I usually assign not the letters but The Cost of Discipleship . Having read Marty's brilliant study, I may now go back to the letters in order to--as one of Marty's subtitles puts it--'send the book further along the way.'" ---Lawrence S. Cunningham, Commonweal, "Marty tells an engaging story of how Letters and Papers from Prison gradually came to be and how in the process it has been interpreted and misinterpreted and creatively used or misused by diverse audiences around the world." ---Mark S. Brocker, Lutheran Quarterly, "Religious scholars as well as general readers interested in theology or the history of Christianity will find this a great choice." ---John Jaeger, Library Journal, "Martin E. Marty has written a simple account of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's hugely influential Letters and Papers from Prison . He explains how the work came to be collated and Bonhoeffer's moral opposition to Hitler and how he wrote until his execution days before World War II ended. There is a thorough analysis of Bonhoeffer's theology followed by a description of how those beliefs--and his influence--spread." ---Bruce Elder, Sydney Morning Herald, "This work is a singular contribution to our study of the history of ideas through one author's, Bonhoeffer's, book and how his insights inform western culture in its encounters with other systems of thought." ---Donald J. Dietrich, European Legacy, "Biography can be a powerful genre for theology, as Bethge's classic biography of Bonhoeffer demonstrates. Both the casual fan and the serious scholar should commend Marty for his fine account of Bonhoeffer's most famous and most enigmatic book." ---Barry Harvey, Christian Century, "Marty's perspective spans the entire spectrum of global influence and controversy of LPP over the six decades of the book's life from its inception forward. . . . Of particular value for readers less familiar with the 20th century reception of LPP will be his sketches of its life in East and West, Protestant and Roman Catholic worlds, in Latin America, South Africa and Asia, in Black Theology, and in Evangelicalism. While the biographer's task is not to present or interpret the contents of LPP, he describes the encounters of its most challenging and controversial concepts." ---Nancy Lukens, Dietrich Bonhoeffer Society Newsletter, "A theologically sophisticated but gripping narrative in a rare genre: the biography of a book. . . . This is a demanding but engaging read for faculty, students, pastors, and laity." ---John C. Shelley, Religious Studies Review, "This book was a job worth doing and Marty has done it sensitively and well." ---Andrew Chandler, Journal of Ecclesiastical History
