[John Funnell · Rating 5 out of 5]

A masterful work bringing a fine collection of visuals to the biography of this great man.

Wonderful to see him pictured in many different contexts and to see much of the source material that many books about him refer to.

A fitting read on Bonhoeffer’s birthday
