- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An ideal biography; there's not much more to say. Marsh is very good on almost everything, from social history to theology. The picture of Bonhoeffer moving from reactionary German to anti-Nazi saint is beautiful. Why Metaxas's awful book sells so much better than this one is a mystery even greater than that the God of Karl Barth.
I'm joking, of course. That one sells better because it helps people feel better about themselves. This one points out that, to be worthy of feeling good about yourself, you actually have to try to be a better person.
