Dietrich Bonhoeffer does for twentieth-century Christians what Luther did for those of the sixteenth. He presents the Gospel' s enduring message in a form that compels a deep, powerful response from the secular man of our day. Here, in the first volume of his collected works, is the absorbing spiritual journey of a dynamic religious leader. No Rusty Swords describes Bonheoffer's years of academic training, his travels in Spain, his visit to the United States, his work as a pastor and a teacher, and his prompt and powerful opposition to the Nazi regime. In these pages Bonhoeffer's private wrestling with the basic religious concerns of our times is revealed.
