BONHOEFFER BIBLIOGRAPHY: PRIMARY SOURCES AND SECONDARY LITERATURE IN ENGLISH

Prepared by Craig J. Slane

This is the fourteenth annual update to the Bonhoeffer Bibliography: Primary Sources and Secondary Literature in English (Evanston: American Theological Library Association, 1992).  Please note the following: (1) any items marked ADD TO are revisions to entries in the published bibliography; (2) in order to register complete sets of conference papers, some German titles may be included; (3) The English Language Section of the International Bonhoeffer Society works to have all conference papers placed in the “Bonhoeffer Collection” at Union Theological Seminary, New York. However, conference paper sets are incomplete. 

Special note for this edition: This update includes various items (some in German) that have been deposited in the Bonhoeffer Collection at Union Theological Seminary in the past decade but may not have been previously recorded in the bibliography. These entries conclude with their underscored archival reference number (e.g., Series 1: Box 1)
