| Summary: | Whenever I open an edited volume of essays I consider myself fortunate if a third of the contributions are any good. This book was surprising insofar as the essays are—with only a few exceptions—stimulating and thought-provoking, with several being quite excellent., I opened the book with considerable skepticism, sharing Craig J. Slane's insight that “despite their many similarities, King and Bonhoeffer are not easily arranged together in any conceptual constellation” (p. 108). (In fact, I would go further and argue that arranging the Bonhoeffer of Discipleship and the 1930s with the Bonhoeffer of Ethics and the 1940s is not that easy either. |
