Riassunto

This book assembles a distinguished and international group of scholars to examine Bonhoeffer's understanding of human sociality. Vital reading for Bonhoeffer scholars as well as for those invested in theological debates regarding the social nature of human being, the essays in this volume examine Bonhoeffer's rich resources for thinking about what it means to be human, to be the church, to be a disciple, and to be ethically responsible in our contemporary world.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'...It is a triumph of this collection that theological reflection and the concerns of social sciences and anthropology can be brought into fruitful dialogue...' --Michael J Leyden, Theological book review, Vol. 24, No 2, 2012

'What does it mean to be human? to be a disciple? and to be part of the Church? Dietrich Bonhoeffer pondered these and similar questions. [...] Being Human, Becoming Human [...] looks at his theology in relation to social thought.' --Church Times, 23 May 2014

[...] aspects of Bonhoeffer's 'humanism' are sought to calibrate a theological compass for navigating poliyics, economics, ethics and the human sciences, making this collection of interest both to readers of Bonhoeffer, and more broadly. --M. J. Knight, The Expository Times, vol. 126 no. 6, March 2015
