You want a balanced political history rather than a portrait of one man's extraordinary moral journey.

About this book

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a pastor and author who worked to dismantle the Third Reich from within while Nazi Germany persecuted Jews across Europe. Eric Metaxas's biography examines both dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life: his role as a theologian and his involvement in resistance activities. The book covers Bonhoeffer's decision to leave America and return to Hitler's Germany, his participation in the Valkyrie plot and Operation 7 (an effort to smuggle Jews into Switzerland), and his lifelong commitment to his faith. This revised edition includes a new introduction and draws on previously unavailable documents—personal letters, journal entries, and firsthand accounts—to present new details about his life and work.
