Stephen Haynes's provocative study articulates the many motives and agendas that readers and scholars have brought to their study of Bonhoeffer, making it difficult to assess objectively the relationship of his political and religious commitments, the real meaning of his theology, and his words and actions on behalf of Jews. Reading Haynes's book helps us learn not only what Bonhoeffer has to teach us but also what it is we most desire to learn.
Stephen R. Haynes is Associate Professor of Religion at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. His many works include Reluctant Witnesses: Jews and the Christian Imagination (1995) and Noah's Curse: The Biblical Justification for Slavery in America (2002).
