Won't You Be (My) Neighbor? Bonhoeffer and the Habits of Hope
Dr. Lori Brandt Hale is Professor of Religion in the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Augsburg University in Minneapolis, MN. She is the President of the International Bonhoeffer Society – English Language Section and a Westar Institute Scholar.
Brandt Hale is co-editor of and contributor to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Theology, and Political Resistance (June 2020), the second volume in a new series on faith and political theology by Lexington Books. Her chapter in this book, a constructive read of Bonhoeffer’s work, is titled, “The Interfaith Imperative: How Bonhoeffer Compels Interfaith Action.” She is also the co-author of Bonhoeffer for Armchair Theologians (Westminster John Knox, 2009) and has written numerous articles and book chapters on Bonhoeffer’s political resistance, understanding of vocation, and relevance in contemporary times. In 2024, she also created a congregational curriculum with LAMPa called, “Lessons from Dietrich Bonhoeffer in a House Divided and a World on Fire,” which was accompanied by a midweek Lenten worship series.
