• Insights about how Bonhoeffer's boundary-crossing travels to Rome, Spain, Africa, and New York shaped his radical theology of solidarity with the "other" and the oppressed.
• The pivotal role that grappling with cultural and national identity played in Bonhoeffer's ministry during an era of global crisis.
• How Bonhoeffer's experiences as a pastor among Germany's working class—with their rising cultural resentments—informed his vision of an authentic, socially-engaged church that identifies with the marginalized.
