This book is a jewel in the literature on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was an accomplished musician since his youth. His theology was deeply inspired by music, as Andreas Pangritz describes precisely. The English translation has the great merit to make his study newly accessible for a larger public. --Wolfgang Huber, Bishop Emeritus and former President of the Protestant Churches in Germany

"""This book is a jewel in the literature on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was an accomplished musician since his youth. His theology was deeply inspired by music, as Andreas Pangritz describes precisely. The English translation has the great merit to make his study newly accessible for a larger public."" -Wolfgang Huber, Bishop Emeritus and former President of the Protestant Churches in Germany ""This translation of Andreas Pangritz's 1994 classic Polyphonie des Lebens is long overdue. A gifted musician and sophisticated music lover, Bonhoeffer naturally merged musical metaphor with theological references, and he drew on the classic Lutheran hymns in his preaching and theology. Pangritz illustrates the extent to which one can 'read' DB and his life story in a musical sense: as point and counterpoint, as hope in the midst of dissonance, as transcendence in the midst of imprisonment and despair. Skillfully translated by Robert Steiner, this is a rich and insightful study of Bonhoeffer's 'theology of music.' "" -Victoria J. Barnett, General Editor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works English Edition"
