Summary of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Letters and Papers from Prison

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 Bonhoeffer wrote this final paragraph at the end of 1942 or in autumn 1943. It was never completed, but it was planned as part of After Ten Years. The German text does not appear in the new German edition of Letters and Papers, but in Gesammelte Schriften II, p. 441.

#2 I am fine, and I am grateful for the small things in prison. I am anxious about my fiancée, though, who has only recently lost her father and brother in the East.

#3 Dietrich had not thought of the most obvious things first. He had not written to Dietrich, but he wanted to let him know that people were thinking about him. He had many heartfelt questions, but this note could not be more than the need to tell him all sorts of inconsequential matters.

#4 I want you to know that I am grateful to you for everything you have been and are to my wife, my children, and myself. I hope that you can be free soon, and that the two of you can be together.
