Introduced by Edwin Robertson -- Over half a century has passed since the outbreak of the Second World War, but Dietrich Bonhoeffer's writings from that time are still relevant today. A German pastor and theologian, Bonhoeffer oppossed Nazism leading him to the confines of a prison cell and finally to the hangman's rope. He asks us to renounce self-assertion and violence and walk with the Christ of powerlessness, suffering and weakness. The Modern Spirituality Series presents selections from twentieth-century spiritual writers in a form suitable for daily reading and meditation. These pocket size books are 4 1/4" x 7" and contain 96 pages.
