Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Question:

>dear Sir, Greetings from Pune, India. My name is ****, a final year student of Union Biblical Seminary (UBS) in India. UBS is known to be one of the leading Evangelical Seminaries in India. Let me go straight to the point.

I have come across, and read your articles on your website on the Internet. Thank you for all that information and article. This year, as part of my course requirement, I am doing a research on the Life and works of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Your website trememdously helpful to me. I would be grateful if you could kindly help me get some more material online, or maybe some of your own writings on Bonhoeffer or the holocast. I find Bonhoeffer to have tremendous relevance for todays world.

I strongly believe that Bonhoeffer's voice is getting more prominant even in a country like India where major political parties who endorse Hitler's actions are gaining prominance. Hard trials await Christians in India. Although I am not part of the mainstream Indian Country, I do feel Bonhoeffer's voice should be heeded by Christians in India.

I shall be grateful if you can help me. The only language I can read is English. That's all. Thank you.

There is an enormous amount of information available on the Internet regarding Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Some examples follow.

1) An incisive essay by:

"Todd A. Kappelman is a field associate with Probe Ministries.

Currently he is pursuing a Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Dallas. He has served as assistant director of the Trinity Institute, a study center devoted to Christian thought and inquiry. He has been the managing editor of The Antithesis, a bi-monthly publication devoted to the critique of foreign and independent film. His central area of expertise is Continental philosophy (especially nineteenth and twentieth century) and postmodern thought."
