On the Road to Freedom
This volume of essays brings together the work of scholars and activists from around the world as they reflect on the lives, theology, and witness of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Edith Stein, with a particular emphasis on freedom. The sacrificial faith and moral resistance of these two martyrs led them to resist oppressive evil and ultimately give up their lives in Nazi concentration camps. Engaging with the themes of discipleship, public theology, resistance in the context of suffering and injustice, the writers met in Wrocław, Poland – the birthplace of Bonhoeffer and Stein – in the looming shadow of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They grappled with how the legacy of their struggle for freedom could continue to prophetically speak into modern-day contexts marred by tyranny and oppression. Offering rigorous academic depth and practical insights for Christian leaders and students, this timely work presents models of a cross-bearing faith in the face of social and political crises.
“In the Face of Barbarism”
Written by a diverse and global group of scholars with expertise in Bonhoeffer's theology and ethics, this volume demonstrates and interrogates Bonhoeffer's focus on and contribution to the ethics of everyday life. Can Dietrich Bonhoeffer's writings improve our morality in day-to-day life? Far from being exclusively relevant to exceptional circumstances, this work reveals that Bonhoeffer's moral vision focuses on everyday human flourishing. His work is highly relevant to yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Bonhoeffer and the Responsibility for a Coming Generation
This volume draws together a selection of high-quality presentations at the 13th International Bonhoeffer Congress held in January 2020 in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The theme of the conference was “How a coming generation is to go on living? Bonhoeffer and the response to our present crisis and hope.” The selected essays engage thoroughly and creatively with this concern to take responsibility not only for our own personal and communal life in all of its complexity and richness but also for the ethos and society that future generations will inherit from us. The pertinence of Bonhoeffer's question is addressed in these contributions anew as we experience threats on a global level to soc...
Theology on a Defiant Earth
Humanity operates like a force of nature capable of affecting the destiny of the Earth System. This epochal shift profoundly alters the relationship between humankind and the Earth, presenting the conscious, thinking human animal with an unprecedented dilemma: As human power has grown over the Earth, so has the power of nature to extinguish human life. The emergence of the Anthropocene has settled any question of the place of human beings in the world: we stand inescapably at its center. The outstanding question—which forms the impetus and focus for this book—remains: What kind of human being stands at the center of the world? And what is the nature of that world? Unlike the scientific fact of human-centeredness, this is a moral question, a question that brings theology within the scope of reflection on the critical failures of human irresponsibility. Much of Christian theology has so far flunked the test of engaging the reality of the Anthropocene. The authors of these original essays begin with the premise that it is time to push harder at the questions the Anthropocene poses for people of faith.

Bonhoeffer and Climate Change
Where is the voice of theology in the public discourse around anthropogenic climate change? How do we understand the human relationship to Earth and the ecology of which we are a part? How can we account for the human attempt to dominate nature and the devastation we have caused to our own home? Dianne Rayson addresses these questions. She uses the creation theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer to examine what it means to be human in the post-Holocene age. Employing a range of Bonhoeffer’s texts, Rayson posits that Bonhoeffer’s Christological theology and this-worldly ethical orientation provide the tools for an Earthly Christianity. She responds to Bonhoeffer’s question, “who actually is Jesus Christ, for us, today?” and proposes a Bonhoefferian ecoethic.

Education, Religion, and Ethics – A Scholarly Collection
This collection draws on research in educational areas displaying best practice pedagogy, theoretical and practical, underpinned by philosophy, empirical science, and neuroscience, among other disciplines. It focusses especially on implications for higher education, school education, professional ethics, and religion. Higher education exploration is on the diminution of the humanities and implications for the range of knowledge needed for future citizenship. The work includes a revisioning of higher education’s purpose, especially the changing role of the doctorate and its examination. The focus on school education takes the same pedagogical lens to humanities and social sciences, examinin...
