Description
"Stephen Haynes has done it again! Following on his encyclopedic-like analysis of the astounding variety of interpretations that went into creating 'The Bonhoeffer Phenomenon, ' Haynes now trains his theological and investigative talents on one of the thorniest problems in Bonhoeffer interpretation: his stereotypical but offensive-to-Jews statements on Judaism, his stance on the anti-Jewish legislation in Nazi Germany, and his place in postwar Holocaust studies. . . . Was Bonhoeffer a prime, courageous defender of Jews in Nazi Germany? Or was he, as one critic avers, merely the best of a bad lot? Haynes does Bonhoeffer research a great service as he exposes Bonhoeffer's theology on these issues in their proper context and in his exact words with all their significance for the present-day Jewish-Christian dialogue." -- Geffrey B.
