As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life--the theologian and the spy--and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil. In Bonhoeffer , Metaxas presents the fullest account of Bonhoeffer's life, including his: - heart-wrenching decision to leave the safe haven of America to return to Hitler's Germany - involvement in the famous Valkyrie plot and in \"Operation 7,\" the effort to smuggle Jews into neutral Switzerland - lifelong dedication to sharing the tenets of his faith This edition, revised and with a new introduction from the author, shares the deeply moving story through previously unavailable documents, including personal letters, detailed journal entries, and firsthand personal accounts to reveal never-before-seen dimensions of Bonhoeffer's life and work. Praise for Bonhoeffer : \"Metaxas has created a biography of uncommon power--intelligent, moving, well researched, vividly written, and rich in implication for our own lives. Or to put it another way: Buy this book. Read it. Then buy another copy and give it to a person you love. It's that good.\" -- Archbishop Charles Chaput , author, First Things \"Metaxas tells Bonhoeffer's story with passion and theological sophistication.\" — Wall Street Journal \"Metaxas presents Bonhoeffer as a clear-headed, deeply convicted Christian who submitted to no one and nothing except God and his Word.\" -- Christianity Today \"Metaxas has written a book that adds a new dimension to World War II, a new understanding of how evil can seize the soul of a nation and a man of faith can confront it.\" -- Thomas Fleming , author, The New Dealers’ War","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781400226467","publication_date":"20201006","publisher":"Zondervan","slug":"bonhoeffer","subtitle":"Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy","title":"Bonhoeffer"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"HIS027100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World War II History","score":0.7454,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL012170","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Christian Memoirs","score":0.7339,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS037070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"20th-Century History","score":0.7315,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"HIS027100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World War II History","score":0.7454,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"REL012170","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Christian Memoirs","score":0.7339,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS037070","confidence_band":"medium","label":"20th-Century History","score":0.7315,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"BIO018000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Religious Lives","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027100","confidence_band":"high","label":"World War II History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"HIS037070","confidence_band":"high","label":"20th-Century History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"REL067110","confidence_band":"high","label":"Systematic Theology","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"World War II History","score":0.7454,"slug":"world-war-ii-history"},{"label":"Christian Memoirs","score":0.7339,"slug":"christian-memoirs"},{"label":"20th-Century History","score":0.7315,"slug":"20th-century-history"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy World War II History","Good for readers interested in christian","Good for fans of Biography"],"related_lists":[{"intro":"","slug":"shelf-his037070-modern-20th-century","title":"Modern 20th Century Books","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/shelf-his037070-modern-20th-century"}],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Volker Ullrich"],"book_id":"9781101872055","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781101872055.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T10%3A13%3A18Z","score":13.7531,"title":"Hitler: Ascent","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781101872055"},{"authors":["Joachim C.
