Abstract
Who was Dietrich Bonhoeffer and who is he for us today? These are the questions every biographer attempts to answer. But just as there are several different photographic portraits of Bonhoeffer adorning the covers of his books, so are there several possible accounts of his life. At best these complement each other. However not all are factually correct in every respect, and as each is filtered through the lens of the biographer, and contextually determined, so all are subject to bias. Biographies are interpretations written with particular readers in mind and expressing predilections in pursuit of an agenda. With this in mind, this essay critically examines six major Bonhoeffer biographies published in English, namely those by Eberhard Bethge, Mary Bosanquet, Edwin Robertson, Eric Metaxas, Charles Marsh, and Ferdinand Schlingensiepen.
迪特里希·邦霍费尔是谁，他对我们来说又是谁?这些都是每位传记作者试图回答的问题。但是，正如在他的书的封面上有好几张不同的邦霍费尔的肖像照片一样，他的生活也有几种可能的描述。这些充其量是相辅相成的。然而，并不是所有的故事在每个方面都是正确的，因为每一个故事都是通过传记作者的镜头过滤出来的，并且是由上下文决定的，所以所有的故事都有偏见。传记是为特定读者而写的解释，表达了追求某个议程的偏好。考虑到这一点，本文批判性地考察了六本主要的潘霍华传记，即Eberhard Bethge, Mary Bosanquet, Edwin Robertson, Eric Metaxas, Charles Marsh和Ferdinand Schlingensiepen的英文传记。
