description: In the decades since theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) was executed by the Nazis the story of his resistance to the Third Reich has inspired people all over the world. This biography draws on his public and private writings which illustrate his lifelong effort to recover Christianity's true essence - from a childhood enthusiasm for theology through periods spent in America and England to ministry in Berlin and the decision that a moral obligation to resist state violence required him to commit treason.
