George Bell, Bishop of Chichester

History & Biography

“Andrew Chandler's perceptive study of Bishop George Bell makes extensive and insightful use of Bell's vast archive and shows his courageous contribution in defending the cause of Christian unity during the war-torn years of the last century. He praises Bell as a lone prophetic figure in the Church of England. This book is a valuable contribution to the cause of ecumenical church history.”

Theological Education Underground

History & Biography

“Banned by the Gestapo in 1937 from preaching and teaching, Bonhoeffer went through a period of existential insecurity. How could he best uphold his forthright Christian witness against Nazi totalitarian claims? One recourse was to maintain his theological education activities underground and illegally. Another was to go abroad and thus avoid conscription for military service. But a quick visit to New York in the summer of 1939 convinced him that such an exile would be a mistake. He had too many ties to his family, his seminarians, and to his country. He returned to Germany just before Hitler launched his wars of aggression in September 1939. This meticulously edited and translated collection of Bonhoeffer's letters and papers for this period describes his often traumatic dilemmas, both theological and personal, in his attempt to remain true to his vocation in these critical years of conflict and confrontation.”
