"...It is a triumph of this collection that theological reflection and the concerns of social sciences and anthropology can be brought into fruitful dialogue..."
Michael J Leyden, Theological book review, Vol. 24, No 2, 2012.
"What does it mean to be human? to be a disciple? and to be part of the Church? Dietrich Bonhoeffer pondered these and similar questions. [...] Being Human, Becoming Human [...] looks at his theology in relation to social thought."
Church Times, 23 May 2014
" [...] aspects of Bonhoeffer's 'humanism' are sought to calibrate a theological compass for navigating poliyics, economics, ethics and the human sciences, making this collection of interest both to readers of Bonhoeffer, and more broadly."
M. J. Knight, The Expository Times, vol. 126 no. 6, March 2015
