This book is an interpretation of Bonhoeffer in the contemporary context. Jeffrey Pugh puts Bonhoeffer's theology in perspective by revisiting some of the themes of his life that have found abiding significance in Christian theology. Starting with a chapter on why Bonhoeffer is still important for us today, this book moves to chapters that bring Bonhoeffer into conversation with our present situation. In each of these chapters Pugh takes one of the central ideas of Bonhoeffer and gives them a fresh perspective.
Many of Bonhoeffer books today are written from an exegetical perspective, they try and get at exactly what Bonhoeffer meant. Others are written from a hermeneutical perspective, they try and interpret Bonhoeffer's abiding significance. This book seeks to combine both these approaches to offer interpretations of Bonhoeffer that are germane to our situation today.

Jeffrey C. Pugh is Maude Sharpe Powell Professor of Religious Studies at Elon University. His most recent book was Entertaining the Triune Mystery: God, Science, and the Space Between, published by Continuum
Martin E. Marty is Professor emeritus, The University of Chicago, USA.'Books on Bonhoeffer abound because Bonhoeffer's legacy continues to attract attention, and rightly so. At this time in global history when religion is too often part of the problem, we need to take seriously Bonhoeffer's alternative reading of Christianity. In "Religionless Christianity" Jeffrey Pugh offers us a well-researched account of what Bonhoeffer had in mind, and he does so in a way that is well-written and eminently readable.'
