His unflinching death in 1945 at the hands of the Gestapo; his uplifting Letters and Papers from Prison, written during the two years he spent in conflnement; the great influence he exerted posthumously on Christian thought and endeavor; above all, the high spiritual quality of his life, writings, humán relationships and death, all mark hím out as an outstanding twentieth-century Christian. Now his friend, pupil, close associate and relative by marriage, Eberhard Bethge, has produced a monumental study of him which will surely stand as the definitive and authoritative work on the subject. Reading it is more than just a fascmating exploration of a hero of our time. It is, as weil, a spiritual experience." -Malcolm Muggeridge, The Observer Vissza
