| Resumo: | This first publication of the newly-found letter to Gandhi from Dietrich Bonhoeffer is a window into his thinking in the early 1930s, a time of personal formation and of resistance to National Socialism. Western Christianity needed "a Christian peace movement", and Bonhoeffer wanted to learn from Gandhi's movement "the meaning of Christian life, of real community life, of truth and love in reality". The letter includes Bonhoeffer's critique of Western culture and the Church in Europe and America, his hopes for a Church regenerated by the Sermon on the Mount, and his appreciation and critique of Karl Barth |
