Floyd and Bonhoeffer-great combination

This very readable book of 125 pages is an enjoyable introduction to one of our great saints and christian guides. The works of Lutheran theologian and ethicist Dietrich Bonhoeffer are organized into 50 key passages grouped in eight areas of Bonhoeffer's concerns: church, world, discipleship, politics, love, Christ, creation, and the future. Each full-page quote is expanded upon by Bonhoeffer scholar Wayne Whitson Floyd who explores the context and circumstances of Bonhoeffer's words as well as their meaning and significance for us today. The text is accompanied by photos of the author. Bonhoeffer's luminous insights will challenge and clarify what it means to follow Christ, to be called a disciple, to understand the role of the church in politics, and to explore the impact on society of "religionless Christianity." His writings represent the very best of theology in times of terrorism and thus speak freshly and directly to our terror-ridden world. Allow this introduction to lead you to further study his works or those about him. This February marks the 100th anniversary of Bonhoeffer's birth and April 8, 2006 marks the 60th anniversary of his death when he was executed by the Nazi's at Flossenburg Concentration Campless than a month before the end of the WW II .
