Understanding Bonhoeffer

Peter Frick is Academic Dean and Professor at St. Paul's University College, University of Waterloo.

"Frick demonstrates how Bonhoeffers theology affords important orientations and perspectives that allow us to frame these pressing penultimate questions Christianly andprecisely therebyto approach them humanely." Philip Ziegler, Chair in Christian Dogmatics, University of Aberdeen "From a scholar who sits at the forefront of Bonhoeffer studies, this book by Peter Frick is an amazing anthology of thought. In this text, readers encounter a behind the scenes look at the work of translating Bonhoeffer, a thoughtful analysis of the underpinnings of Bonhoeffers theology, as well as a constructive extension of Bonhoeffers work in recent conversations. An important text for any student of Bonhoeffers theology." Reggie Williams, Associate Professor of Christian Ethics, McCormick Theological Seminary "One of the stellar interpreters of Bonhoeffer's life and work in our time, Peter Fricks breadth of theological and philosophical expertise positions him to read Bonhoeffer in an integrative manner that the field has lacked for too long. These essays are rigorous, clearly written, and well documented. An excellent introduction to understanding Bonhoeffer from a scholar who captures Bonhoeffer's diverse interests and commitments." Michael Pasquarello, author of Dietrich: Bonhoeffer and the Theology of a Preaching Life
