The piece questions whether Bonhoeffer’s exaltation came from Bonhoeffer canonisation by Bishop Robinson in Honest to God or from his execution at Flossenburg under Hitler.

The Intelligent Eye and a German Theologian’s Rise
A review contrasts The Intelligent Eye by R L Gregory with a detailed biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It notes Gregory’s book as an engaging yet serious exploration of visual perception and misinterpretation, while the Bonhoeffer biography traces his early academic phase, rise to resistance against Nazism, and wartime actions leading to execution. The piece highlights Bonhoeffer’s letters from prison and his call for “true worldliness” amid catastrophe.

A Mid Summer Eve Dream and Dunbar Reimagined
A review of A. D. Hope’s A Mid summer Eve's Dream (ANU Press) arguing it reassembles 15th century social history with Dunbar's poem, revealing a hidden subculture of fairy cults and controversial marriage ideas.
