A few years ago, I read Bonhoeffer, by Eric Metaxas. I was very impressed with the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. When I saw this new biography, I grabbed a copy as soon as I could. It’s very different so far, from Metaxas’ work. Marsh deals more with the intellectual and theological aspects of Bonhoeffer’s life, where Metaxas spent more time devoted to life events.
I’m only about a hundred pages in so far, so that could change. It’s well worth the time to read it, especially if you are a fan of biographies. Bonhoeffer was a spiritual giant of the early twentieth century, and there is much that we can learn from him.
I will post a full review when I finish the book, but in the meantime, you can pick up a copy of Strange Glory on Amazon.
