"Dietrich Bonhoeffer - theologian, pastor, martyr - is one of the most significant Christian witnesses of the twentieth century. His writings challenge us to address the presence of God in the world and history. His courageous resistance against Hitler, his imprisonment and execution dramatize "the cost of discipleship." These selections, with a poignant introduction by Robert Coles, provide a penetrating entry to the heart of Bonhoeffer's message."--Jacket. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

When Hitler came to power, Bonhoeffer created an underground “confessing church” which worked to keep religion alive in a totalitarian regime. He also plotted to kill Hitler. He had several chances to sit out the war in America or England but as the war intensified, he felt the need to return to his nation to stand against Naziism. I wonder how many of us would have chosen to do that. No matter the hurt, pain, or fear, Bonhoeffer believed that Jesus was there to lead believers into life with Him. He felt that Jesus held him and all of us to a certain moral and spiritual mark, and Bonhoeffer was prepared to act on that as few others were. Bonhoeffer knew that to truly follow Christ in that time and place was to sign on to a severe disruption in his life (with the possibility of torture and death). He was spied upon, eventually arrested, and sent to a series of prisons and concentration camps. He was shot just a few weeks before Hitler committed suicide. The Cost of Discipleship speaks to this call to follow Christ no matter what. Life Together was about his underground church. ( )
