About the Authors
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945), the
son of a famous German psychiatrist, studied in Berlin and New York City. He
left the safety of America to return to Germany and continue his public
repudiation of the Nazis, which led to his arrest in 1943. Linked to the group of
conspirators whose attempted assassination of Hitler failed, he was hanged in
April 1945.
Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. He was a fellow and tutor in English literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. His major contributions to literary criticism, children’s literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. Lewis wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include the Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.
Mother Teresa (1910–1997) founded the Missionaries of Charity, whose sisters, brothers, and priests serve the poorest of the poor throughout the world. Mother Teresa won many awards, including the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize. After her death in 1997, a popular movement for her canonization quickly sprung up, and she was beatified in 2007.
