Bonhoeffer on the Christian Life: From the Cross, for the World
By Stephen J. Nichols, Series edited by Stephen J. Nichols, Justin Taylor
Dietrich Bonhoeffer died a martyr¡¯s death at the age of 39 but remains one of the most influential and challenging theologians of our time. His writings teach us the value of cross-centered theology, and his courageous actions against the Nazi regime compel us to consider the cost of discipleship. From Bonhoeffer we learn that the Christian life is lived both alone and together, and that there is a stark difference between cheap and costly grace. With insight, clarity, and wisdom, Stephen Nichols guides us through the words and deeds of this humble yet heroic pastor, whose example shows us that the Christian¡¯s life flows from the cross, for the world.
Part of the Theologians on the Christian Life series.

¡°This book will quicken your pulse as you are drawn into the story and the example of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Stephen Nichols brings a long and complex life to a point of ongoing personal application. This book prompted me to pray for the kind of courage that comes only after intense communion with the living God. Read and be strengthened.¡±

¡°¡®Human weakness paves the way for God¡¯s grace.¡¯ So writes Stephen Nichols, using Dietrich Bonhoeffer as a guide to the Christian life. But how could a man who stood up to Hitler be considered weak? That¡¯s what makes Bonhoeffer so fascinating, and why he deserves your attention. Nichols helpfully brings Bonhoeffer¡¯s Christ-centered insights to bear on issues where we need to grow in grace, such as confession, freedom, and love.¡±
