Two martyrs in a godless world
May 2021
New City Press releases Michel Evdokimov's compelling study of the lives and teaching of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Alexander Men
From the Translator's Introduction
"Contrasting and exploring the lives and theology of two martyrs to the totalitarian violence of the 20th century, Michel Evdokimov challenges us to meet the world we live in on its own terms."
From Part 1 - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"In this new world there is a new mental landscape which makes it necessary to rethink the language used to speak about God. "
From Part 2 - Alexander Men
"The gulf between the transcendent God and his creation is closed with the descent of Christ, a descent born of the desire for love and redemption."
From the Afterword - Olivier Clément
"We are all resurrected and reborn, all of us, ... and so, deep within us, confidence replaces anxiety. And we will be able to do what no one dares to do today, to bless the living world."
