A tribute to his courage, morals, high ideals, and honor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Now in a new edition with additional photographs and a new design, Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Life In Pictures is a biography of pastor, theologian, and resister Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-45), featuring more than 200 vintage black-and-white photographs, including portraits of Bonhoeffer's ancestors and family gatherings, press photos of contemporary events, maps, postcards, newspaper accounts, and more. The chronicle of the chapters of Bonhoeffer's life tells of his passionate faith, his resistance against the totalitarian and genocidal Nazi regime, Germany, his detention by the state, and execution. A passionately faithful Christian up until the last moments of his life, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's story is a tribute to his courage, morals, high ideals, and honor. Highly recommended.
Deeply moving history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life is represented by a number of quotations, some great photos and a thoughtful narrative that wraps it all into a compelling story. In particular the final section on the days leading up to the theologian's execution is deeply moving. It is a crime this book is out of print.
