About the Book

This nuanced book gives a Bonhoefferian account of contemporary moral issues with a fresh method, style, and perspective. Norris addresses the most pressing ethical issues today, such as racism and politics, along with everyday ethical topics like friendship and truthtelling; he does so through the lens of a particular theological interpretation of Bonhoeffer’s work. This considered book makes an argument for Bonhoeffer as a forerunner of what are now considered liberation and postliberal theologies, while providing analyses of contemporary ethical issues that emerge out of the use of this interpretative lens upon his work. Norris highlights how Bonhoeffer holds these positions together and reveals the nuanced ethical conclusions and practices one might reach from that perspective. Ultimately, this work argues that the life of discipleship, for Bonhoeffer, is a way of formation into a community of responsibility to and for others as a means of resistance to systems that suppress human liberation, especially for the marginalized. This book intervenes into academic conversations, but it also provides resources for practitioners and clergy.

Review :
Norris offers a compelling contribution to Bonhoeffer studies and contemporary Christian ethics. Using a postliberal-liberationist lens to read Bonhoeffer, Norris unfolds Bonhoeffer’s vision of discipleship as formation into a community of responsibility—acting justly in the world on behalf of others, especially the marginalized. With attention to pressing issues of politics, violence, race, masculinity, and to the practical work of community organizing, Norris illuminates how humility, listening, and resistance to systemic oppression remain central, if not salvific, to the church’s witness today. Insightful and necessary, this is Bonhoeffer for our times.
