"This book clearly represents an important new stage in the interpretation of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's prison theology. Ralf Wüstenberg's attention to Immanuel Kant, William James, and Wilhelm Dilthey leads him into new territory. In the pragmatism of James he finds a connection to Bonhoeffer's concern with "life""

CLIFFORD I GREEN

Harford Seminary

"A careful evaluation of the literature used by Bonhoeffer himself has resulted in a cagent interpretation of his reflections on a religionless Christianity."

MARTIN ROBRA

World Council of Gundes

"One is quickly struck, and happily, by Wüstenberg's fine acquaintance with English-language Bonhoeffer literature, something that scholars in the Anglophone world have long awaited."

MARTIN RUMSCHEIDT

Mantic School of thecingy

"This book brings considerable clarity into a difficult aren of Banhoeffer studies. Wüstenberg's grasp of the Diltheyan connection is particularly illuminating"

GEFFREY & KELLY Acceder Secitty

"Wistenberg has found an important key to interpreting Bonhoeffer's prison comespondenck, a kay that can no longer be ignored. Wistenberg deserves thanks for drawing attention anew to the significance of Dilthey, since in so doing he is simultaneously drewing attention to the bridge leading from Bonhoeffer into the theological situation at the end of the second millennium"
