Dietrich Bonhoeffer Libros

En momentos extremos, algunos seres humanos sufren injusticias que los superan. En otros, son conducidos a situaciones de tal gravedad y opresión, que los privan enteramente de su libertad. Es en ese instante cuando, milagrosamente, algunos dan lo mejor de sí. También en las cárceles nazis hubo gente que luchó para que no fuera conculcada por completo la dignidad humana. Su conducta y sus decisiones generosas testimonian la perenne necesidad de resistir delante de toda desesperanza, de restaurar en lo posible las numerosas injusticias y de abrir senderos hacia un futuro más humano

Bonhoeffer likens preaching to offering an apple to a child, emphasizing that the reception of the gospel depends on the listener's readiness. This collection features thirty-one of his sermons, newly translated, delivered in diverse contexts throughout the year. Each sermon is prefaced by translator Isabel Best, who provides insights into Bonhoeffer's life. Despite the oppressive atmosphere of Hitler's regime, Bonhoeffer's sermons reflect his profound faith and concern for the world, inviting contemporary readers into a dialogue with the gospel's promises.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, one of the most influential Christian martyrs in history, bequeathed to humanity a legacy of theological creativity and spirituality that continues to intrigue people from a variety of backgrounds. Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, a sixteen volume series, offers a fresh, critical translation of Bonhoeffer's writings, with introductions, annotations, and interpretations. The stimulus for the writing of Life Together was the closing of the preacher's seminary at Finkenwalde. The treatise contains Bonhoeffer's thoughts about the nature of Christian community based on the common life that he and his seminarians experienced at the seminary and in the "Brother's House" there. Bonhoeffer completed the writing of Life Together in 1938. Prayerbook of the Bible is a classic of Christian spirituality. In this theological interpretation of the Psalms, Bonhoeffer describes the moods of an individual's relationship with God and also the turns of love and heartbreak, of joy and sorrow, that are themselves the Christian community's path to God.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was only thirty-nine years old when he was executed in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, yet his courage, vision, and brilliance have greatly influenced the twentieth-century Church and theology. Particularly through his bestselling classic, The Cost of Discipleship, Bonhoeffer profoundly shaped such minds and movements as Martin Luther King, Jr., and Leonardo Boff, civil rights and leberation theology. A Testament to Freedom, completely revised and expanded for this edition, includes previously untranslated writings, excerpts from major books, sermons, and selected letters spanning the years of Bonhoeffer's pastoral and theological career. This magnificent volume takes readers on a historical and biographical journey that follows Bonhoeffer through the various stages of his life--as teacher, ecumenist, pastor, preacher, seminary director, prophet in the Nazi era and, finally, as martyr in pursuit of peace and justice.

Here is offered the complete text in translation, annotated by the German and American editors. The historical context is explained and textual commentary is provided in a Foreword and Afterword.

Despite Dietrich Bonhoeffers earlier theological achievements and writings, it was his correspondence and notes from prison that electrified the postwar world. The materials gathered and selected by his friend Eberhard Bethge in Letters and Papers from Prison not only brought Bonhoeffer to a wide and appreciative readership, especially in North America, they also introduced to a broad readership his novel and exciting ideas of religionless Christianity, his open and honest theological appraisal of Christian doctrines, and his sturdy, if sorely tried, faith in face of uncertainty and doubt.
