Description: Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy Eric Metaxas Who better to face the greatest evil of the 20th-century than a humble man of faith? As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In his blockbuster New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffers lifethe theologian and the spyand draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil. Metaxas presents the fullest accounting of Bonhoeffers heart-wrenching decision to leave the safe haven of America to return to Hitlers Germany, and sheds new light on Bonhoeffers involvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in Operation 7, the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerland. In a deeply moving narrative, Metaxas uses previously unavailable documents?including personal letters, detailed journal entries, and firsthand personal accounts?to reveal dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life and theology never before seen. Includes Readers Guide [A] beautifully constructed biography. Alan Wolfe, The New Republic Metaxas tells Bonhoeffers story with passion and theological sophistication. Wall Street Journal [A] weighty, riveting analysis of the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Publishers Weekly Metaxas presents Bonhoeffer as a clear-headed, deeply convicted Christian who submitted to no one and nothing except God and his Word. Christianity Today Metaxas has written a book that adds a new dimension to World War II, a new understanding of how evil can seize the soul of a nation and a man of faith can confront it. Thomas Fleming, author, The New Dealers War Metaxas has created a biography of uncommon powerintelligent, moving, well researched, vividly written, and rich in implication for our own lives.
