{"product_id":"9781451406849-1","title":"Who Is Christ for Us?","description":"In the summer of 1933, Dietrich Bonhoeffer delivered powerful lectures   that insisted Christians encounter Jesus Christ as a living person today, as   well as in history and church life. Formulated in the face of the new Nazi   regime, a decisive moment in Bonhoeffer's own commitment to the Confessing   Church, his words drew attention to the living Christ as always the humiliated   \"man for others,\" the lodestar of Christian commitment and service. This volume,   well introduced and contextualized by Nessan and Wind, consists in excerpts from   the 1933 lectures-strikingly relevant today-along with other, contemporary   writings from him and about him.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the   Author\u003c\/strong\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) studied in Berlin and at Union Theological  Seminary in New York, played a central role in the Confessing Church during  the Nazi period, and has become one of the most influential theologians of  the twentieth century.
