Joel Banman received his PhD from the University of Otago, New Zealand.

In this fine book, Joel Banman engages with Dietrich Bonhoeffer on the most important source for his theology: the Bible. What does it mean for the Bible to be the Church’s Scripture, and how does God speak in the Bible to Christians and others today? Banman’s skilful and acute study makes an important contribution to our understanding of one of the 20th century’s most thought provoking theological voices.
