Dietrich Bonhoeffer Libri

L'interpretazione del discorso della montagna che Dietrich Bonhoeffer scrisse a Londra nel 1934 e tutte le lezioni sul Nuovo Testamento che tenne a Finkenwalde erano dedicate alla chiamata alla sequela di Gesù Cristo. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1937, questo volume era ritenuto nel Terzo Reich un'autentica testimonianza di fede cristiana e pertanto un testo militante contro l'ingiustizia del nazionalsocialismo. Con l'aiuto del commento in questa nuova edizione critica il peso teologico del libro si rivela unitamente al panorama storico contemporaneo nel quale è nato.

Translated from the GermanIn this beautiful little book, Bonhoeffer guides the Christian to the Scriptures for lessons in how to pray. He affirms that the Lord's Prayer is the primary prayer of the Christian, which he asserts contains every prayer that a Christian ought to pray. Bonhoeffer also makes a startling but wise claim that jolts us out of the narrowness of our focus in prayer: "The richness of the Word of God ought to determine our prayer, not the poverty of our heart." Thus we find the book of Psalms to be a rich treasury of prayers that are part of God's inspired word, and therefore a true place to learn how God would have us pray.

In 1940, just before the Nazis banned him from publishing, Dietrich Bonhoeffer published this book of reflections on the Psalms. Now with an introduction by Walter Brueggemann and excerpts from the Psalms, this classic reveals the Psalms as essential to the life of the believer and offers wisdom for living today.

s/t: Daily Meditations from His Letters, Writings, and SermonsIn time for the 100th anniversary of his birth come daily inspirations from a beloved pastor, theologian, and martyr.

This reality is not manifest in the Church as distinct from the secular world; such a juxtaposition of two separte spheres, Bonhoeffer insists is a dential of God's having reconciled the whole word to himself in Christ.

Well introduced and contextualized by Craig Nessan and Renate Wind, this volume consists of excerpts from Bonhoeffer's 1933 lectures, which are strikingly relevant today, along with other, contemporary writings from and about him.
