Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Letters and Papers from Prison: A Biography by Martin E. Marty

adamrshields's review against another edition

3.0

Short Review: This (and the series) is about the history and influence of great religious books. A helpful look at what happened after Bonhoeffer's death to spread his influence and raise interest in his books. This is overwhelmingly about the spread and history of the book, and only occasionally about Bonhoeffer outside of the book. I thought it was not as good as Alan Jacob's biography of the Book of Common Prayer from the same series. But this is still worth reading. This is also a good example of why I like scribd as an ebook subscription program. This is over $14 on kindle, but I can subscribe to Scribd for $8.99 a month and get access to this. Over the last month I have read this book and listened to 11 audiobooks through scribd.
