The Prison Meditations of Father Alfred Delp
Description:
2021 Reprint of the 1963 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. With an Introduction by Thomas Merton. These classic reflections on gospel wisdom from a modern martyr show the ongoing relevance of the gospel in an age of idolatrous power and capricious violence. Delp was a German Jesuit priest and philosopher of the German Resistance. A member of the inner Kreisau Circle resistance group, he is considered a significant figure in Catholic resistance to Nazism. Falsely implicated in the failed 1944 July Plot to overthrow Adolf Hitler, Delp was arrested and sentenced to death. He was executed in 1945.
