This book by Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born as a response to the immediate challenges of his time and the need for service within the community. It is a testament to his daily, committed prayer—a practice taught and lived in the quiet of Finkenwalde, which remained steadfast even during his imprisonment. Bonhoeffer never ceased to pray the Psalms as a participation in the being of Christ, whom he followed radically. This work allows readers to understand the extraordinary strength of this 20th-century theologian and martyr, whose resistance against the Nazi regime and subsequent execution define his legacy as a witness to faith.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German Lutheran pastor, neo-orthodox theologian and anti-Nazi dissident who was a key founding member of the Confessing Church. His writings on Christianity's role in the secular world have become widely influential; his 1937 book The Cost of Discipleship is described as a modern classic. Apart from his theological writings, Bonhoeffer was known for his staunch resistance to the Nazi dictatorship, including vocal opposition to Nazi euthanasia program and genocidal persecution of Jews. He was arrested in April 1943 by the Gestapo and imprisoned at Tegel Prison for a year and a half. Later, he was transferred to Flossenbürg concentration camp.
