Dietrich Bonhoeffer was one of the most significant Protestant
theologians of the twentieth century, a legacy sealed by his
imprisonment in a German concentration camp and eventual execution.
His resistance against Nazism and pivotal role in the Confessing
Church movement have been key points of illumination for many on
the nature of Christian political witness and action. Millions have
been inspired by his rich reflections on the Christian life,
especially his beloved works on discipleship and ethics. As a
professor, seminary leader, and ecumenical theologian, Bonhoeffer's
work also profoundly shaped academic theology, especially
systematic theology, and the life of the church.
