This brief yet brilliant book shows that the prison reflections of Dietrich Bonhoeffer contain profound inspiration for all who desire to walk more closely with Jesus in today's often troubling world. Illuminating the context and content of Bonhoeffer's life and thought, John W. Matthew’s Anxious Souls Will Ask uses writings of the famous Christian martyr to critique the spirit of the age and to encourage contemporary Christians in the depth of commitment required to stand firm against the contemptuous winds of postmodern culture.
