The Cup of Wrath

A Novel Based on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Resistance to Hitler

Discover the dedication, humanity, and intrigue of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a young German pastor and theologian who was executed by the Nazis at age 39 for his part in the “Officers’ Plot.” This historical novel commemorates the final 10 years of the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. With close attention and curiosity I have accompanied Mary Glazener’s daring effort to write this novel. I admired from the beginning her gift of style and especially her great talent to invent lively and true conversation between the leading figures of the story. Integrating into her novel the best available documents, she strived for the inner truth of the story. The reader sinks deeply into the life and events, into the life-and-death involvement, of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his family. — Eberhard Bethge Author of Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Man of Vision, Man of Courage
