"Destined to be the definitive text in English for all who wish to study the life and theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in depth.'

-JOHN W. DE GRUCHY, author of Bonhoeffer and South Africa

"The time is long overdue for a single volume Bonhoeffer collection.... Kelly and Nelson have done a skillful job of selecting these pieces, some in English for the first time. This is an excellent classroom text, as well as a splendid addition to anyone's Bonhoeffer library."

-JAMES H. BURTNESS, professor of systematic theology, Luther-Northwestern Theological Seminary

"The beauty of A Testament to Freedom is that Kelly and Nelson have not only made available the necessary texts from every period of Bonhoeffer's life, but also have provided the indispensable commentary and interpretation to allow them to be understood properly."

-JOHN D. GODSEY, professor of systematic theology, Wesley Theological Semi-nary, and author of The Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"Kelly and Nelson are among the leading scholars of Bonhoeffer's work. Their judgment is trustworthy and the rest of us will use it with gratitude." CHARLES C. WEST, Stephen Colwell Professor of Christian Ethics, Princeton Theological Seminary
