On the Road to Freedom

<p>This volume of essays brings together the work of scholars and activists from around the world as they reflect on the lives theology and witness of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Edith Stein with a particular emphasis on freedom.

Engaging with the themes of discipleship public theology resistance in the context of suffering and injustice the writers met in Wrocław Poland - the birthplace of Bonhoeffer and Stein - in the looming shadow of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. They grappled with how the legacy of their struggle for freedom could continue to prophetically speak into modern-day contexts marred by tyranny and oppression. Offering rigorous academic depth and practical insights for Christian leaders and students this timely work presents models of a cross-bearing faith in the face of social and political crises.</p>
