One of the great classics of Prison literature, Letters and Papers from Prison effectively serves as the last will and testament of the Lutheran theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Bonhoeffer\'s story seems as vitally relevant, as politically prophetic, and as theologically significant today, as it did yesterday..
Acute and subtle, warm and perceptive, yet also profoundly moving, the documents collectively tell a very human story of loss, of courage, and of hope.
Letters from Bonhoeffer\'s parents, siblings, and other relatives have also been added, in addition to previously inaccessible Letters and legal Papers referring to his trial.
His Letters appear in greater detail and show his daily concerns.
This expanded version of Letters and Papers from Prison shifts the emphasis of earlier editions of Bonhoeffer\'s theological reflections to the private sphere of his life.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a young German pastor who was executed by the Nazis in 1945 for his part in the officers\' plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler.
