The world is in a state of crisis. How can engaging Dietrich Bonhoeffer help with understanding and negotiating some of the many challenges that we are facing today?
Bonhoeffer wrote much of his theology during a time of intense upheaval. He developed his rich contributions to theology and ethics in the context of National Socialism and during the Second World War.
This collection of essays draws together the work of established and emerging scholars to engage Bonhoeffer and the present crises. Some chapters explore how Bonhoeffer's theology helps us understand and respond to the legacies of colonialism and systemic racism. Other chapters tackle the climate emergency, political authoritarianism, and modern conflicts through Bonhoeffer's timeless insights.
With contributions from around the globe, including philosophers, theologians, pastors and activists, this volume is essential for those looking for a theological path through today's divided world.
