A excellent overall introduction The introdution by Wallis is a gem. My wife and I read several days at at time and find this an excellent way to read DB's original works and decide which of his books speak most directly and clearly to us. Testament, Letters and Discipleship have proven our favorits, while Ethics remains too do…

A historical reproduction of the heroic life of Bonhoeffer It's an excellent dramatization of the life of Bonhoeffer. I'd never heard of him until I heard this drama. It's historical, and masterfully done by the crew at Radio Theater and Focus on the Family. Definitely worth listening to.<p>For the parents: I'd definitely suggest you listen along w…
A difficult gem Christ the Center is an incredible, somewhat flawed re-envisioning of Christology-in fact, of Christian theology as a whole. Bonhoeffer turns the usual exercise of Christology as an elaboration of the qualities of Jesus Christ and the relationship between elements of the alphabet soup of Nicea an…
In the bleak midwinter … Dietrich Bonhoeffer was someone who lived his faith. His theology was embodied in his action, and he paid the ultimate price of martyrdom rather than retreat to the safety of far-away places. God called him to be faithful in the midst of a troubled world, and he followed that call. Executed ju…
11.)Cost of Discipleship Dietrich Bonhoeffer Peter Smith Publisher; 1983 Hardcover
3 1/2 Stars … Before the Crucible Years ago, I discovered Bonhoeffer through his rich and tested »Letters and Papers from Prison.« He gave theological insights that were the flesh and meat of real-life experience, having faced imprisonment and eventual execution at the hands of the Nazis.
I picked up »The Cost of Disciple…

Christian Theology I give this book 5 stars for the quality of thought, not the ease of reading. One should start reading Bonheoffer with his great »The Cost of Discipleship.« It has been decades since I have read any Bonheoffer when he was all the rage. One must remember that he was first and last a theologia…

Excellent A much needed reminder on the importance of obedience to the Word of God if we claim to be Christians. Bonhoeffer certainly has the anointing to make a case for what being a real follower of Jesus is, as opposed to mere lip service. I recommend this book highly.

Theology in Fiction This Book goes hand in hand with Bonhoeffer's Letters and Papers from Prison. It consists of a few acts of a play dealing with a young intellectual man, as well as some chapters from a novel dealing with a family on a retreat. We see Bonhoeffers focus on the power struggle in theology in the form…
A Bonhoeffer Treasury This collection of writings of Bonhoeffer is a gem of daily meditations. Just when I think I know his writings something else comes along that opens that door even wider. His thoughts are timeless, and certainly as meaningful today as when they were written in Nazi Germany. These are not rando…
