Bibliography
Recenzii
'One
measure
of
a
good
biography
is
the
degree
to
which
it
keeps
this
anachronistic
tendency
in
check.
When
judged
by
this
criterion,
Ferdinand
Schlingensiepen's
new
book
is
without
peer.
The
author's
knowledge
of
Bonhoeffer
and
his
familiarity
with
the
massive
amount
of
research
that
has
been
done
over
the
past
50
years
are
readily
apparent,
and
they
result
in
a
clear
and
compelling
picture
of
Bonhoeffer's
life,
work
and
witness.
.
.
.
Schlingensiepen
excels
at
navigating
through
the
many
settings,
characters
and
plots
that
converge
to
form
the
contours
of
this
life.
.
.
.
Schlingensiepen
is
equally
masterful
at
relating
the
intimate
relationships
of
Bonhoeffer's
life.
.
.
.
We
are
in
his
debt
for
the
good
work
that
he
has
done,
opening
a
new
window
into
the
remarkable
life,
witness
and
scholarship
of
Dietrich
Bonhoeffer.'

Century
'When the last paragraph is finished, the reader is left with the sadness that such a grand Christian should have had his life so brutally ended, but also with a feeling of strange warmth in the fact of the great strength, the hope and faith and love of the Lord Jesus whom Bonhoeffer served so loyally...Read this book and walk with him.' - Methodist Recorder
'An important contribution to our understanding of the period.' - The Catholic Herald
Title mentioned in author profile on The Topeka-Capital-Journal.
"First published in German in 2005, this sustentative biography represents the fruit of a lifetime devotion to the preservation and consideration of Bonhoeffer's theological legacy on the part of its author. Schlingensiepen provides a deft, lively and richly detailed narrative which, drawing judiciously from the primary sources and a wealth of related scholarship, sympathetically unfolds the movement of Bonhoeffer's life and traces the development of his theological and political-ethical thinking." - Philip G. Ziegler, University of Aberdeen, UK
'This new biography is one of the most important resources for taking us forward in dialogue with Bonhoeffer during the coming years.' - John W. de Gruchy Emeritus Professor, University of Cape Town
'[Bonhoeffer] came from a cultured and musical family which choose -- unlike the Wagner clan at Bayreuth, for instance -- the painful road of opposition to National Socialism. The author of this new biography understands this Kulturkampf from within.' - www.energypublisher.com
'Ferdinand Schlingensiepen serves us exceedingly well with this work written out of his own lifetime's study of Bonhoeffer.' - Theology
Interview with the author in the Mars Hill Audio Journal, Vol. 107
Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1906-1945: Martyr, Thinker, Man of Resistance should be recommended to a wide readership. As a streamlined and updated account of Bonhoeffer, it is ideal for new readers of Bonhoeffer. For such readers, it offers comprehensive and nuanced accounts of Bonhoeffer's cultural and political challenges. This biography also instantly becomes the starting point for those interested in Bonhoeffer the man of resistance.
'Admirable work ... Bonhoeffer's correspondence with his fiance, the talented and spirited Maria von Wedemeyer, which was not available to Bethge [Bonhoeffer's previous biographer]. deepens and humanizes the portraiture.' - Church Times
Review in East Riding News, July 2010
Review in Church of England Newspaper, 10 September 2010
'In fact, there are a number of excellent biographies that offer an account of Bonhoeffer's life that is both thorough and engagingly readable....that captures the full sweep of his remarkable story. The best is Ferdinand Schlingensiepen's Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1906-1945, Martyr, Thinker, Man of Resistance published in translation by T & T Clark/Continuum. Ferdinand Schlingensiepen worked closely with Bethge and served on the editorial board of the 16 volume Bonhoeffer Werke. A nice bonus: He got permission from the Bonhoeffer family to print previously unpublished photographs.' - Charles Marsh
'Like all biographies of Bonhoeffer the reader cannot but turn the final page and ponder the 'what ifs' of human history. How might his life, theology in the 20th century and the Church of Jesus Christ today be different had Bonhoeffer survived until the Allies liberated Flossenbürg a few weeks later? But Bonhoeffer himself would have shunned such wishful and fanciful thinking: his search was for the concrete word for the moment, 'who is the Christ for us today?' Schlingensiepen's biography deftly reveals the theological, political and personal urgency of a man on such a quest and it does so while paying great attention to the context in which he lived. His book will be both an invaluable resource to the libraries of scholars and a popular addition to the shelves of readers with a more general interest. It deserves to be both widely and deeply read.' - Craig Gardiner, Regent's Reviews
'The time is long overdue for a good, shorter biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer that has the depth and scope of the Bethge biography. Schlingensiepen has written it. His is accurate, thoughtful, and shows a solid grasp of the history of the churches under National Socialism -- not surprising, since the author's father was himself active in the Confessing Church. That's important for understanding Dietrich Bonhoeffer as a person, for he was very much a product of his religious tradition and training as well as its most provocative critic and visionary. The portrayal of Bonhoeffer's role in the Confessing Church (and his conflicts with it) is fascinating. The newer documents that have come to light since the Bethge biography, particularly the correspondence between Bonhoeffer and his fiancee, are referenced, giving more glimpses of Bonhoeffer's personal development. This is a fine biography and important background reading for anyone who is reading Bonhoeffer's theological classics -- for it shows the life from which these classics emerged.' - Victoria Barnett, General Editor of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works in English
