Description
Book SynopsisTraces the arc of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's public career, demonstrating how, at every stage, Bonhoeffer focused upon preaching, both in terms of its ecclesial practice and the theology that gave it life.
Trade ReviewPasquarello's engagement with Bonhoeffer's post-university preaching life from 1931-1937 not only provides excellent theological analysis of Bonhoeffer's sermons, but unearths the ways Bonhoeffer's historical context informed both his homiletics and hermeneutics -- Matthew K. Jones -- Reading Religion
Pasquarello strikes a commendable balance between breadth-providing the bigger picture of Bonhoeffer's career as a preacher-and depth, carefully analyzing his homiletical theology and individual sermons. The writing style is engaging in both allowing Bonhoeffer's voice to take centre stage and in offering connections, commentary, and conclusions that demonstrate clear authorial grasp of the subject matter. -- Javier A. Garcia -- The Journal of Theological Studies
