Review

'In this collection of essays, we have some of the most significant and interesting insights into Bonhoeffer's work available in the English language. One of the world's foremost Bonhoeffer scholars, Stephen Plant offers us for the first time here in one place some of the fruits of almost three decades of engagement with one of the most important theologians of the twentieth century. There is much here for the advanced student of Bonhoeffer as well as the beginner.'Tom Greggs, University of Aberdeen, UK
