Discipleship
Discipleship | Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Cheap grace is the mortal enemy of our church. Our struggle today is for costly grace. And with that sharp warning to his own church, which was engaged in bitter conflict with the official Nazified state church, Dietrich Bonhoeffer began his book Discipleship (formerly entitled The Cost of Discipleship). Originally published in 1937, it soon became a classic exposition of what it means to follow Christ in a modern world beset by a dangerous and criminal government. At its center stands an interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount: what Jesus demanded of his followersand how the life of discipleship is to be continued in all ages of the post- resurrection church. Every call of Jesus is a call to death, Bonhoeffer wrote. His own life ended in martyrdom on April 9, 1945. Using the acclaimed DBWE translation, adapted to a more accessible format, this new edition features supplemental material from Victoria J. Barnett and an insightful introduction by Geffrey B. Kelly to clarify the theological meaning and social context of this attempt to resist the Nazi ideology.

This book is overwhelming. I am pretty sure half of it is going over my head. I am trying though!

Blueberry I tried one of his books also and gave up. Had to sit with a dictionary to read it. 5y
Mtroiano Have you read Life Together? It was dense too but only about 100 pages so a little more manageable 5y
hwestfall I haven‘t read Life Together. I will have to add it to my list! 5y

My current TBR pile. My next class is Biblical Leadership Principles. Bonhoeffer and MacArthur are my “fun reads”, everything else is for course of study.

Gee whiz! What a guy!! Doesn't mince words. Discipleship is costly. But it's worth the suffering.

I know the Nazi leaders in the last days before their fall made certain that Dietrich Bonhoeffer would not survive the camps. This makes him interesting to me - what about him were they afraid of? That's what prompted me to read one of his books and I can see why the message would not appeal to a totalitariab regime. It appealed to me though - and challenged me. A good read! (Listen) 😉
