I thought I might share this interesting comment with you. I found a discussion on another book on Dietrich Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas, published by Thomas Nelson this year. The reviewer, Andy Rowell, writes that "until now, American readers have lacked an account of Bonhoeffer's life that is both thorough and engagingly readable, a book that captures the full sweep of his remarkable story and highlights its meaning for us today."
In response to that author and scholar Charles Marsh comments:
In fact, there are a number of excellent biographies that offer an "account of Bonhoeffer's life that is both thorough and engagingly readable....that captures the full sweep of his remarkable story." The best is Ferdinand Schlingensiepen's "Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1906-1945, Martyr, Thinker, Man of Resistance," published in translation last month by T & T Clark/Continuum. FS worked closely with Bethge and served on the editorial board of the 16 volume Bonhoeffer Werke. A nice bonus: FS got permission from the Bonhoeffer family to print previously unpublished photographs.

If rumours are anything to go by, Charles Marsh is working on a major study of Bonhoeffer's time in the United States...
