- Summary
- "Dietrich Bonhoeffer raised several "core questions" in his prison correspondence with his close friend Eberhard Bethge. In Bonhoeffer's questions, John W. de Gruchy explores each each question and how they prompted further questions in an ongoing conversation with himself, others, and us today. He does this within the framework of his life-long and life-changing conversation with Bonhoeffer in the context of South Africa and describes how he has come to know Bonhoeffer as a witness to Christ, a prophet of God's justice, and a Christian humanist before proceeding with a series of questions addressed to Bonheoffer with the reader in mind." --
