Charles Marsh offers a reappraisal of Bonhoeffer's theology and attempts to reclaim his promise for contemporary theological inquiry. The hardcover edition of this book was the first serious scholarly treatment of Bonhoeffer in English in nearly twenty years. Marsh examines Bonhoeffer's work in the context of the German philosophical tradition from Kant to Heidegger, as well as its relationship to Karl Barth.
"This book is a theological sensation....At the end of the 20th century, I consider it to be an exciting event. Nobody who attempts to define Bonhoeffer's legacy today will be able to ignore Marsh's book."--Eberhard Bethge, friend and biographer of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"A careful and detailed reading of everything Bonhoeffer wrote. His theological analysis of these writings, few published in his lifetime, is meticulous....Beautifully written....The whole book is well documented throughout and the notes are full and helpful."--Theology
"Excellent....It is a scholarly, although accessible work....The achievement of this book is impressive and amply delivers on its stated goal of Reclaiming Dietrich Bonhoeffer'. I hope that it will renew interest in Bonhoeffer's theology and become a sure guide for those eager to make their way into the complexities of his thought."--Reviews in Religion and Theology
"Charles Marsh has done an uncommon thing: he has written an original book on Bonhoeffer."--The Expository Times
."..Marsh's book is excellent....I recommend this book to anyone concerned with theology and the renewal of the church. His book is...innovative...and should not be missed."--Journal of the NABPR
"In this book the author has done something unique..."--The Princeton Seminary Bulletin
