Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1906-1945<br />

Martyr, Thinker, Man of resistance<br />

Ferdinand Schlingensiepen<br />

‘Schlingensiepen’s new book is without<br />

peer. We are in his debt for the good<br />

work that he has done, opening a new<br />

window into the remarkable life, witness<br />

and scholarship of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.’<br />

The Christian Century<br />

‘When the last paragraph is finished, the<br />

reader is left with the sadness that such<br />

a grand Christian should have had his life<br />

so brutally ended, but also with a feeling of strange warmth …<br />

Read this book and walk with him.’ Methodist Recorder<br />

‘An admirable work. Deepens and humanizes the portraiture.’<br />

The New Asceticism<br />

Sexuality, gender and the Quest for god<br />

Sarah Coakley<br />

• Original contemporary theologian treats<br />

the contentious areas of sexual ethics,<br />

gender, and the role of women in the<br />

church<br />

• Draws both liberal and conservative<br />

camps into a new and serious reflection<br />

which may start to heal contemporary<br />

wounds<br />

• Shows how desire can be recovered from<br />

its associations with promiscuity and<br />

disorder<br />

cutting creatively across established ecclesiastical battle lines,<br />

Sarah coakley offers an original thesis about the nature of<br />

desire. Pointing the way through the false modern alternatives<br />

of repression and libertarianism, agape and eros, she forges a<br />

new ascetical theology founded in the disciplines of prayer and<br />

attention.<br />

monumental texts of modern theology.’<br />

Barth’s theology. Those who have heretofore feared the<br />
