Description
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theological anthropology is rooted in his conviction that Christ died for a new humanity. This collection brings together a distinguished group of scholars to examine Bonhoeffer's understanding of human sociality, tracing the theme from his early work to his final writings. Bonhoeffer's ideas on the social intention of Christian concepts and the importance of faith for others are central to his thought. His rich resources for thinking about what it means to be human, to be part of the church, and to live ethically in contemporary society are explored in this volume. A valuable contribution to Bonhoeffer scholarship and relevant to those engaged with theological debates on the social nature of humanity, this book offers a nuanced understanding of Bonhoeffer's thought.
