The Coherence of Life Without God Before God: The Problem of Earthly Desires in the Later Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer by: Reynolds, Terrence
Hardcover. Lanham, MD, University Press of America, 1st, 1989, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 170 pages, hardcover. Covers are clean and bright, as are interior pages. Binding is solid. In his Letters and Papers from Prison, Dietrich Bonhoeffer urges Christians to feel their longings for earthly realities to the fullest, and argues that such yearnings can strengthen ones faith. This issue has been overlooked by Bonhoeffer scholars, despite its central place in the Letters, and this study seeks to correct that oversight. Through selective, chronological analysis, this text shows Bonhoeffer's progressive development towards a positive view of the natural and fallen life. This new perspective has rich implications for Christian anthropology and ethics. Clean copy. Record # 33816
