Bonhoeffer

"Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life and work has been appropriated by a diverse range of theologians and Christian social activists. John Queripel's contribution to that long list is especially creative, not simply because it is conveyed through drama but because one senses a powerful authenticity in the script which arises from the convergence between Bonhoeffer's story and the history of the playwright himself, grounded as both are in contextualism and orthopraxis."

--Noel Preston, adjunct Professor in Applied Ethics, Griffith University (Australia)



"Playwright John Queripel pushes all acquainted with Bonhoeffer's discipleship to starkly confront the ethical dilemmas arising from his remarkably enduring ministry. This work has been John's consuming passion for many years: its publication alerts us all to what Bonhoeffer continues to say, and worthily joins the ever-expanding corpus of enlightened studies that enriches theology today."

--Stephen Moore, founding convenor, Australian Bonhoeffer Conference



"Bonhoeffer's message and example are as vital today as they were in the 1940s. This book provides a wonderful introduction to the life and thinking of Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer's example and this book are a great inspiration to us all."
