Compiled and published by Bonhoeffer’s close friend Eberhard Bethge after his death, The Prison Briefs is a collection of letters, poems, and miscellaneous epigrams that Bonhoeffer wrote to his friends and family while he was in prison. It contains both deep recollections of what he had learned and thought throughout his life, and heartfelt correspondence with his parents and friends. If his previous compositions were mostly records of his theological thoughts, then “Letters and Papers from Prison” is more like a truer self-expression after he took off the theologian’s garb. Knowing that his life was about to come to an end, he remained righteous, and under the Nazi gallows, he gave the last voice of a saint, saying, “This, then, is the end. For me, it is the beginning of life.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), German Lutheran pastor, theologian, and member of the Confessing Church, was born on February 4, 1906, in Breslau, Germany. During World War II, he actively participated in the struggle against the Nazis, and was later arrested by the Gestapo on April 5, 1943, because of the revelation of his plan to assassinate Hitler. On April 9, 1945, he was hanged in the concentration camp in Flosburg, and is the author of Poetry in Prison, Ethics, Life in Fellowship, Prison Briefs, The Cost of Being a Disciple, The First Adam and the Second Adam, and Life in Fellowship. — Selected Works of Penhova, among other books. The Garden of the Heart and Twenty Lectures on Faith contain some of Penhoefer’s articles.
Dr. Darren Yu has remembered Bonhoeffer in Climbing the Peaks of Life: Walking with Great Minds.
