Reading in the Presence of Christ: A Study of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Bibliology and Exegesis
«In this fine book, Joel Banman engages with Dietrich Bonhoeffer on the most important source for his theology: the Bible. What does it mean for the Bible to be the Church’s Scripture, and how does God speak in the Bible to Christians and others today? Banman’s skilful and acute study makes an important contribution to our understanding of one of the 20th century’s most thought provoking theological voices.»

Bonhoeffer's writings include a significant amount of biblical interpretation, but his potential contributions in the fields of biblical studies and theological exegesis of Scripture have not been sufficiently explored. This study reassesses some of his key exegetical writings in light of his theology of revelation and bibliology, unfolding the ways in which his reading of the Bible is determined by his theology of Scripture. Through this analysis, Joel Banman demonstrates that the uniting factor of Bonhoeffer's biblical interpretation is not methodological but bibliological: he reads Scripture as the living word of the present Christ.

«Bonhoeffer’s courageous opposition to Hitler and his challenging theology were grounded in his attentiveness to Scripture. Joel Banman here explores the manner and the fruits of that attentiveness and so offers compelling new insight into what it was that made Bonhoeffer one of the great theological minds of the twentieth century.»

«This is a beautifully written work, careful and convincing ... I will read this book over and again.»
