Importance of Bonhoeffer's Writings and Sermons

Throughout his life, Bonhoeffer wrote and preached extensively, exploring, expanding and explaining his conservative theological beliefs to academics, fellow theologians, and the public. Many were preserved over the years by those to whom he sent copies (i.e. Elizabeth Zinn), to whom he sent letters (i.e. Maria von Wedemeyer), and to whom he entrusted his deepest thoughts (i.e. Eberhard Bethge). The writings, according to the author, indicate that Bonhoeffer had a clear, powerful, intelligent mind, a profound faith, and a deep-seated determination to ensure the ultimate, transcendent victory of both moral and Christian justice which were, to him, the same thing.
