Purchase options and add-ons

The crown jewel of Bonhoeffer's body of work, Ethics is the culmination of his theological and personal odyssey. Based on careful reconstruction of the manuscripts, freshly and expertly translated and annotated, this new critical edition features an insightful Introduction by Clifford Green and an Afterword from the German edition's editors.

Though caught up in the vortex of momentous forces in the Nazi period, Bonhoeffer systematically envisioned a radically Christocentric, incarnational ethic for a post-war world, purposefully recasting Christians' relation to history, politics, and public life.

This edition allows scholars, theologians, ethicists, and serious Christians to appreciate the cogency and relevance of Bonhoeffer's vision.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"All students of Bonhoeffer will relish this new translation and expanded edition of his indispensable Ethics. The power of Bonhoeffer's word shines more brightly than ever." --Jean Bethke Elshtain "University of Chicago"

About the Author

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was one of the most significant Protestant theologians of the twentieth century, a legacy sealed by his imprisonment in a German concentration camp and eventual execution. His resistance against Nazism and pivotal role in the Confessing Church movement have been key points of illumination for many on the nature of Christian political witness and action. Millions have been inspired by his rich reflections on the Christian life, especially his beloved works on discipleship and ethics. As a professor, seminary leader, and ecumenical theologian, Bonhoeffer's work also profoundly shaped academic theology, especially systematic theology, and the life of the church.

Clifford J. Green is professor emeritus of theology, Hartford Seminary, Connecticut, and author of numerous works on Bonhoeffer. He is the executive director of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works.

Charles C. West has been a missionary in China, associate director of the Ecumenical Institute of the World Council of Churches, and a seminary professor. He is currently professor emeritus of Christian ethics at Princeton Theological Seminary.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born in Breslau in 1906. The son of a famous German psychiatrist, he studied in Berlin and New York City. He left the safety of America to return to Germany and continue his public repudiation of the Naz*s, which led to his arrest in 1943. Linked to the group of conspirators whose attempted assassination of Hitlerr failed, he was hanged in April 1945.

The Complete Edition

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2007

Verified Purchase

Ethics is a difficult work to encounter, largely because the work was unfinished when Bonhoeffer was arrested and imprisoned. Most versions of Ethics require an editor to arrange the manuscripts into a coherent whole - but this being the "Works" edition includes all of the information (including notes about context and translation from German) surrounding the writing of the Ethics manuscript.

This is the version to get if you want "completeness", in-depth discussion, or research purposes (the volume contains an exhaustive bibliography) but it might not be for the casual reader that wants an overview of Bonhoeffer's formulation of ethics. (Otherwise, you might not understand why you are reading a chapter titled "History and Good" twice!)

Content is invaluable but the binding is cheap

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2014

Content 5++ stars.
This is vintage Bonhoeffer: insightful, challenging, thought provoking. Highly recommend this. The Fortress Works of Bonhoeffer far and away the best editions. There is lot of material here about the background and ordering (as it was unfinished at Bonhoeffer's death). A gold mine. Nearly 600 pages, so not a small book.

Took away one star for the poor quality binding and paper (expect more from Fortress - their NT Wright volumes are bound to last 100 years). For a paperback that is this expensive, you expect better quality paper, at least you expect WHITE paper! The paper is coarse, yellow and not inviting at all. The kindle edition are also hampered by poor formatting. This is sad as excellent electronic versions are available from a major Bible study company (think word...).

Overall
- Content is EXCELLENT
- Binding is not likely to last prolonged use (bound like a pulp fiction not an enduring classic it is)
- kindle edition is annoying - use a better electronic edition.

Actual Christian Ethics

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

So far this book has been profound. I'm only about 1/5 of the way through it. It is very punchy and dense. It is the best thing I've read on Christian ethics. I did not think there was such a thing as Christian Ethics. I thought there were only ethics. Bonhoeffer defines ethics in such a way, and ties it to the cross of Christ so closely that it makes it possible to call what he talks about Christian Ethics.

Excellent, but a word of warning

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2010

Verified Purchase

I can attest that this is an excellent book, however the "Look Inside" view is NOT of 'Ethics'. The 'Look Inside' view is of Vol. 10.

If you want to see the basic content of 'Ethics' I suggest you look in the Touchstone edition of the book.

using this for an ethics class

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2013

Being Lutheran, Bonhoeffer is quite the example. This book is a translation from his natural German. Not only that, it was a book he never finished, so there are explanations of why parts seem disjointed. It's a good read...not an easy read, not a fast read. If not for a class I would not have read it. I also have his biography...better for getting to know the man.

In the fist chapter Bonhoeffer argues against the notion that what is spiritual is good and what is physical is evil. In the second he turns our focus from asking what is good to asking what is the form of Christ in the church today. He than gives a short history how the West has become godless

Very insightful.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

Very insightful. A genuinely Christian ethics, rather than an attempt to modify non-christian philosophies to make them more Christian. Taken with what we know about his response to Naziism and his involvement in the plot to assassinate Hitler at the same time as he was writing, it gives a masterclass in applied theology. May seem theoretical, but really helped me to think about what I do and how I behave.
