A superb overview of Bonhoeffer’s understanding. I especially appreciate the engagement with Bonhoeffer’s sources and the dialogue that he had with Barth, Dilthey and the like.
Although i do not agree with all the conclusions made, Feil does at least acknowledge the development of thought within Bonhoeffer’s changing context under National Socialism.
A superb understanding pf Bonhoeffer’s concept of religionless Christianity
