Dietrich Bonhoeffer's meditations on Psalms

"Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Meditations on Psalms functions on two levels. It is a book of probing, personal ruminations on the Psalms and their implications for practical Christian living. And it is a revelation of the man behind the message who allowed the Psalms to search his heart and change over time his understanding of God's Word and his conduct as a citizen of the world. From his sermon on Psalm 127 delivered in 1926 when he was a twenty-year-old theology student to his lectures on the Psalms delivered from 1935 to 1937 to his poetry and letters in Flossenburg Prison pending his execution in 1945, the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer reveal more than a caring pastor and a profound theologian. They show us a human heart gripped by the Scriptures, responding to the call to be not merely a hearer of the Word, but one who embodies it in life and action. Including brief biographical sketches, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Meditations on Psalms is one of a trio of collected works that also includes Bonhoeffer's prison poems and his Christmas sermons. This book covers the broad arch of Bonhoeffer's prayerful and soul-searching relationship with the Psalms, from young manhood to martyrdom. Stamped by a life of integrity, his words speak to us today as powerfully and relevantly as when they were first penned. "--from the book jacket.
