The Collected Sermons of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Bonhoeffer likens preaching to offering an apple to a child, emphasizing that the reception of the gospel depends on the listener's readiness. This collection features thirty-one of his sermons, newly translated, delivered in diverse contexts throughout the year. Each sermon is prefaced by translator Isabel Best, who provides insights into Bonhoeffer's life. Despite the oppressive atmosphere of Hitler's regime, Bonhoeffer's sermons reflect his profound faith and concern for the world, inviting contemporary readers into a dialogue with the gospel's promises.
