About the Book

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Christian dissident who took a stand against Nazism in the 1930s. He was executed at the Flossenburg concentration camp just before the end of the war on the charge of treason, but in truth he died for sheer love of his country and for his uncompromising commitment to the gospel. In response to what he regarded as the capitulation of the evangelical church to volk nationalism, Bonhoeffer helped establish the Confessing Church and, controversially, became implicated in an assassination plot against Hitler. Encountering Bonhoffer takes the reader on a forty-day journey via some key passages from Bonhoeffer's extensive body of work--books, essays, letters, sermons, poems--in the hope that it will encourage not just personal reflection on themes in the gospel but also a deeper awareness of the church's mission in a time of political and global instability.

About the Author :
Ian Stackhouse is Senior Pastor of Millmead, Guildford Baptist Church in the UK. His previous publications include Letters to a Young Pastor (2019) and Praying Psalms: A Personal Journey Through the Psalter (2018).

Review :
"A most original anthology of key Bonhoeffer texts, pastorally engaging the reader in a four-way conversation--with Bonhoeffer, with the Bible which he loved, with God in prayer, and with oneself caught in the daily challenges of living in the realities of the world and the church as they are, not as we would often like them to be. Newcomers to Bonhoeffer and readers already indebted to him will alike be greatly enriched."
--Keith Clements, Emeritus Board Member, International Bonhoeffer Society

"What a rich and wonderful book this is! Challenging, inspiring, counter-cultural, informative, and ultimately pastoral--you won't regret spending forty days in the presence of Dietrich and Ian."
--Ruth Valerio, Canon Theologian, Rochester Cathedral

"When I am discouraged or disillusioned, I often turn to Dietrich Bonhoeffer for inspiration and encouragement. His story is one of relentless bravery in the face of unrelenting darkness. Bonhoeffer's call to courageous and costly discipleship is still much needed in our world and church. Dr. Ian Stackhouse is a faithful guide to help us all encounter Bonhoeffer's teaching afresh. His new book is accessible, honest, and appropriately unsettling."
--Krish Kandiah, Director, Sanctuary Foundation
