Reading in the Presence of Christ: A Study of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Bibliology and Exegesis

by Joel Banman, Jennifer McBride (Series Editor), Michael Mawson (Series Editor)

Bonhoeffer's writings include a significant amount of biblical interpretation, but his potential contributions in the fields of biblical studies and theological exegesis of Scripture have not been sufficiently explored. This study reassesses some of his key exegetical writings in light of his theology of revelation and bibliology, unfolding the ways in which his reading of the Bible is determined by his theology of Scripture. Through this analysis, Joel Banman demonstrates that the uniting factor of Bonhoeffer's biblical interpretation is not methodological but he reads Scripture as the living word of the present Christ.

Too technically written for my taste.
