"Cheap grace is the mortal enemy of our church. Our struggle today
is for costly grace." And with that sharp warning to his own
church, which was engaged in bitter conflict with the official
nazified state church, Dietrich Bonhoeffer began his book
Discipleship (formerly entitled The Cost of Discipleship).
Originally published in 1937, it soon became a classic exposition
of what it means to follow Christ in a modern world beset by a
dangerous and criminal government. At its center stands an
interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount: what Jesus demanded of
his followers-and how the life of discipleship is to be continued
in all ages of the post- resurrection church. "Every call of Jesus
is a call to death," Bonhoeffer wrote. His own life ended in
martyrdom on April 9, 1945. Freshly translated from the German
critical edition, Discipleship provides a more 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 then infecting German Christian churches.
