The book examines Bonhoeffer's interpretation and use of the Bible and its relation to the historical-critical hermeneutics of his time and to postmodern models of interpretation. The essays also unfold the theological, philosophical, and political implications of Bonhoeffer's hermeneutic.
In view of Bonhoeffer's contemporary readers, these essays focus on the task of articulating and clarifying a hermeneutically self-conscious approach to interpreting and ultimately understanding Bonhoeffer. Methods and approaches examined include themes such as gender, religion, race, ecology, politics, philosophy, literature among others.
This volume redresses an oversight in Bonhoeffer studies: the theoretical foundations of Bonhoeffer's political theology, that is, to the fundamental elements and concepts that shape his understanding of religion's relation to politics. Contributions document the 4th International Bonhoeffer Colloquium which took place in Mainz, Germany, in 2010.
