Short Review: Book Review: Bonhoeffer, Christ and Culture (2012 Wheaton Theology Conference Book) - Several very good papers. Four in particular I really liked. Tim Larsen's on why we read Bonhoeffer and how that came to be. Jim Belcher's very personal paper on the liturgy and how Bonhoeffer's work at the Finkenwalde Seminary was instrumental in spiritual development. Joel Larson’s chapter on using Bonhoeffer to construct a theology of the church based on others I thought was a very helpful look at how Bonhoeffer’s ecclesiology would fit into a modern Evangelical context. Similarly, Lori Brandt Hale’s chapter on how her college used Bonhoeffer’s theology of vocation as part of their all school curriculum was also quite useful as a model of how to use historic theologian for modern theological practice.
As with any conference book there are essays that are perfectly fine, but less connected with why you are interested in the subject. But overall a very good conference book.
