Till the Night Be Past: The Life and Times of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

To the those of German descent, the terrible legacies of such cruelty and misuse of a country continue to disturb. How could it have happened? Much has been written to explain that.Here, another view, that of a high class young man of exceptinal gifts, who travels widely and yet has principles of theology and country and thus, his renown in what would come of his country and church.Having only read some of Bonhoeffer's books, this short bio was most interesting. With its terse style and paintbrush strokes of his life, one comes to grips with the maturity and unfolding of his interplay in such significant history, i.e. ecumenical movement, the War, etc.This will not only serve to orient one to this interesting individual, but will serve to fuel one's desires to investigate more. To this end, the Selective Bibliography is included.
