—Stephen Plant, Wesley House, Cambridge, UK

Bonhoeffer’s legacy has had a far-reaching influence on contemporary Christianity, perhaps more so than any other theologian/pastor of the twentieth century. Yet many people are not sure how to understand what he wrote, and are especially perplexed by his theological reflections in his prison letters. Joel Lawrence has recognized this need and has provided an admirable guide through the labyrinth. Identifying the key themes in Bonhoeffer’s prison theology, he traces their development from his student years onwards and interprets them in a way that is informed, accessible and readable.

—John W. de Gruchy, University of Cape Town, South Africa

Here in this volume we have a very fine and very concise introduction to Bonhoeffer's theology.... Those coming to Bonhoeffer afresh together with those who teach his theology will find this a very useful text.

    This was a phenomenally helpful resource, particularly to someone like myself, who's new to Bonhoeffer studies.
