"... the vogue for Dietrich Bonhoeffer ..."?
I agree with Rick, in his posting below, that "Books & Culture" is an excellent magazine. But I must say that the part of the review Rick quotes raises a serious question in my mind about the judgment of the reviewer. Notice the reference to "the vogue for Dietrich Bonhoeffer". So, was Dietrich Bonhoeffer "fashionable," for a time, among the "boomers"? Give me a break. We should be skeptical about the judgment--the good sense--of any informed Chistian who would (unwittingly?) suggest that Dietrich Bonhoeffer is not what he is widely regarded--and rightly so--to be: one of the saints of the twentieth century. Would we talk about "the vogue for Mother Teresa"?
