1 Unfortunately, American publishers have managed to spell her name in three different ways: Sölle, Soelle, and Solle. Obviously the first is to be preferred.

2 Several of the themes of this book are picked up and developed in a collection of her essays: The Truth Is Concrete, trans. Livingstone, Dinah (New York: Herder and Herder, 1969)Google Scholar.

3 Cf. Gollwitzer, Helmut, Von der Stellvertretung Gottes. Christlicher Glaube in der Erfahrung der Verborgenheit Gottes. Zum Gespräch mit Dorothee Sölle (Munich: Chr. Kaiser Verlag, 1967), pp. 35fGoogle Scholar. As the subtitle indicates Gollwitzer's book was written in confrontation with Sölle's understanding of Christ as representative.

4 Precisely the bridge-building aspect of Sölle's confrontation is missed in the polemic against her treatment of Bultmann by Hübner, Hans, Politische Theologie und existentiale Interpretation. Zur Auseinandersetzung Dorothee Sölles mit Rudolf Bultmann (Witten: Luther Verlag, 1973)Google Scholar.
