Discipleship

Informationen zum Autor Dietrich Bonhoeffer was one of the most significant Protestant theologians of the twentieth century, a legacy sealed by his imprisonment in a German concentration camp and eventual execution. His resistance against Nazism and pivotal role in the Confessing Church movement have been key points of illumination for many on the nature of Christian political witness and action. Millions have been inspired by his rich reflections on the Christian life, especially his beloved works on discipleship and ethics. As a professor, seminary leader, and ecumenical theologian, Bonhoeffer's work also profoundly shaped academic theology, especially systematic theology, and the life of the church. Klappentext Formerly titled "The Cost of Discipleship", this classic exposition tells what it means to follow Christ in a modern world beset by a dangerous, criminal government. "Discipleship" provides an accurate rendering of the text and extensive aids and commentary to clarify the meaning, context and reception of this work and its attempt to resist the Nazi ideology infecting German Christian churches in the 1930s and 1940s.
