To Elaine and Lyman and Dalaine
The Makers of the Modern Theological Mind series was first published in the early 1970s and comprises eighteen volumes, each looking at the life and work of a highly influential modern theologian. Todays reader may wonder why we are reprinting these books after so many years, especially since much has been written in the intervening decades on most of these theologians. The answer is that Hendrickson Publishers remains committed to serving the church in theological education, and we believe the original series editors purpose still holds true: These books will give a new generation the opportunity to be exposed to significant minds.
While readers may notice that some word choices and writing styles are dated, we chose to leave the original text intact in order to preserve the historical integrity of the books. Additionally, although the series represents a specific perspective in modern Western thought, these theologians nevertheless serve as forerunners to the many outstanding theological voices we hear in todays much broader perspective. It is for their sake and the sake of new generations that we are reprinting this series, thereby ensuring continued accessibility to these formative and important modern theologians.
Another unique feature of this series is that many of the authors studied with the particular theologian about whom they wrote. And because some of these books were written almost half a century agopublished during the political and social turmoil of the latter decades of the twentieth centurythey also serve as historical accounts of how these theologians impacted the authors at the time that they themselves were writing.
We are confident that readers will continue to find these books interesting and useful, which is why we are releasing them with a new look and in paperback and also as e-books. As these theologians continue to influence the global church, this series remains a helpful overview of their historical context and their lifes work.
Patricia Anders, Editorial Director
Hendrickson Publishers
Who are the thinkers that have shaped Christian theology in our time? This series tries to answer that question by providing a reliable guide to the ideas of the men who have significantly charted the theological seas of our century. In the current revival of theology, these books will give a new generation the opportunity to be exposed to significant minds. They are not meant, however, to be a substitute for a careful study of the original works of these makers of the modern theological mind.
This series is not for the lazy. Each major theologian is examined carefully and criticallyhis life, his theological method, his most germinal ideas, his weaknesses as a thinker, his place in the theological spectrum, and his chief contribution to the climate of theology today. The books are written with the assumption that laymen will read them and enter into the theological dialogue that is so necessary to the church as a whole. At the same time they are carefully enough designed to give assurance to a Ph.D. student in theology preparing for his preliminary exams.
Each author in the series is a professional scholar and theologian in his own right. All are specialists on, and in some cases have studied with, the theologians about whom they write. Welcome to the series.

An invitation to do a short work on Bonhoeffer was an opportunity for me to dig deeper into this brilliant theologian. This work will not command the attention of the devotee of Bonhoeffer. It is designed to give the reader a quick snapshot view of the man, his life and thought. If I have succeeded in doing this, I will have more than passed my hopeful expectations.
There are always numerous people that help in making a book possible. First on the list is Dr. Bob Patterson of Baylor University, who serves as the General Editor of this series. His kindness in asking me places me in debt to him. A special word of gratitude goes to various library resources: The library of the College of Emporia, the library of the United Christian Fellowship, and the William Allen White Library. These libraries have been patient with me although I had several of their books over a period of some months.
As usual, an author owes gratitude to his wife and children while he removes his presence from their activities, and this one is no exception. Thus I must dedicate this work to my wife, Elaine, and my two loving children, Lyman and Dalaine.
Dallas M. Roark
Dietrich Bonhoeffer has become a man with mystique. His life commands intense interest because of his opposition to the Nazi state and its infiltration of the German church. His theological works remain a source of inspiration not only for his vivid exposition of profound issues, but also for the well-turned phrases such as cheap grace or world come of age. His involvement in the ecumenical movement as a young theologian brought immense respect from older and better known men. Whether Bonhoeffer has been interpreted rightly is still debated, but no one doubts that he has had a remarkable influence in contemporary Protestant theology.
Dietrich and his twin sister Sabine were born on February 4, 1906, in Breslau, Germany (which is now part of Poland). His mother was descended from the famous nineteenth-century church historian, Karl von Hase, and his father, Karl Ludwig Bonhoeffer, was a noted physician and soon to be professor of psychiatry at the University of Berlin. The fact that his father distrusted Freudian psychoanalysis may be the explanation for his own barbs at psychotherapists and existentialists.
The names of neighbors and friends coming into the home of young Dietrich have the aura of greatness. Adolf von Harnack, the eminent historian of the church and of dogma, was both a neighbor and teacher. Ernst Troeltsch, the theologian and philosopher, was a frequent guest in the Bonhoeffer home. Other eminent people included Ferdinand Tnnies, and Max and Alfred Weber.
By age sixteen, Dietrich had decided to enter the ministry of the church. The decision gained little comment from his parents, but his brothers opposed it. His brother Klaus attempted to impress him with the purely provincial nature of the Protestant church in Germany and regretted that his brother should give his life to a superfluous cause. With resolution Dietrich replied, If the Church is feeble, I shall reform it. However facetious his reply might have been, it was portentous of the future way Bonhoeffer felt about the churchs needs.
