Here is the key to the theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, one of the twentieth century's great moral figures. Drawn from a series of lectures originally delivered at the University of Berlin, Christ the Center reveals Bonhoeffer's deep roots in Christian doctrine, as well as how that doctrine applies to modern-day decisions every Christian must face. Essential for those interested in the development of Bonhoeffer's thinking, Christ the Center is also an important addition to Christological thought.
The lectures in Christ the Center, reconstructed by Eberhard Bethge from students' notes, have been translated by Edwin Robertson.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) was a renowned and beloved Christian minister, seminary professor, and theologian who was imprisoned and later executed by the Nazis for his resistance to Hitler. He is the author of the bestselling classics The Cost of Discipleship, Life Together, and Letters and Papers from Prison.
"It would be impossible to overrate Dietrich Bonhoeffer's importance as a disciple, a great Christian and moral leader."-John Macquarrie, the New York Times Book Review
