On Friday, July 11, Charles Marsh was interviewed by Martha Woodroof on WMRA’s The Spark. He discusses his experience working in Berlin in 2007 after receiving the Guggenheim Fellowship and the opportunities that followed. Marsh also explains his access to rare resources that offered new insights into Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s life, as well as the writing process for Strange Glory and his continuing interest in the influential theologian.

“What surprises me is, after working with this book for eight years, my admiration and my intrigue with Bonhoeffer’s life and thought is deeper, and in some respects, even insatiable,” Marsh reflects.

From the publisher: “Charles Marsh brings Bonhoeffer to life in his full complexity for the first time. With a keen understanding of the multifaceted writings, often misunderstood, as well as the imperfect man behind the saintly image, here is a nuanced, exhilarating, and often heartrending portrait that lays bare Bonhoeffer’s flaws and inner torment, as well as the friendships and the faith that sustained and finally redeemed him. Strange Glory is a momentous achievement.” For more information about Strange Glory, click here.
