Acting for Others

Theology

“The brilliant study sheds new light also in Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s ecclesiology deeply committed to sociality. Michaela Kušnieriková uses the biblical metaphor of family and analyzes the Lutheran theologian in connection with the political thinker Hannah Arendt and the Orthodox Theologian Dumitru Stăniloae—a powerful dialogue between Bonhoeffer’s ecclesiology, a political theology and a theology of the world and communion.”

Being Human, Becoming Human

Theology

“This collection of essays by distinguished scholars provides new insights into the meaning of Christian humanism that avoids the pitfalls of individualism on the one hand and collectivism on the other hand. An excellent book for all who seek to affirm the human in an increasingly dehumanizing global context.”

Engaging Bonhoeffer

Theology

“While much important scholarship has been done on the influence of the many theologians and philosophers on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Ethics and prison theology, this brilliant collection of essays by Matthew D. Kirkpatrick provides both academia and the Church with a different and previously neglected field of research. Bonhoeffer himself has left important influences on the most inspirational writers of the twentieth century such as Karl Barth, Dorothee Sölle, Jürgen Moltmann, Stanley Hauerwas, and Rowan Williams.”

God Hides

Theology

“This brilliant study is a realistic endeavor into postmodernity providing guidance in moral questions by challenging the idea of religion commonly held today. Ned's fine acquaintance with Dietrich Bonhoeffer's notion of 'religionlessness' allows for a fresh look at the liberating power of faith in the midst of uncertainties imposed on modern Christian life today.”

Redeeming Identity

Theology

“This study offers a rare conceptual integration of recognition theory and the theology of testimony. Its central insight—that recognition is incomplete until it is voiced—gives bearing witness an ontological weight it often lacks in contemporary discourse. Witness is no longer merely declarative; it is shown to be the outward form of an inwardly reconstituted life.”
