Letters and Papers from Prison

Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Letters and Papers from Prison, now with new translations and transliterations. An insightful look at grace and the path to eternal life, featuring New Greek, Latin, and German Translations and Transliterations.

Written from a Nazi prison cell, Letters and Papers from Prison lets you overhear Dietrich Bonhoeffer thinking, praying, and wrestling with God as he faces execution for resisting Hitler. These letters to his family and friends are not pious clichés; they are honest, courageous, sometimes painfully vulnerable reflections on fear, hope, guilt, and trust in Christ. If the film Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin stirred you, this is the deeper, real-life story behind it—a book that will confront easy answers and quietly strengthen your faith when obedience to Jesus is costly. Perfect for readers longing for real, tested, muscular Christian hope.
