"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.
"For the Sake of the World" gathers the presentations from one of
the most successful Barth conferences ever held in the United
States. Here thirteen of Karl Barthbs most astute interpreters
explore in fresh ways a variety of themes from Barthbs life and
work, showing how Barth still has much to offer the contemporary
world.
Organized as a dialogue between the contributors, this volume
features cutting-edge studies followed by substantial critical
responses. The subjects discussed in detail include the
Barth-Brunner correspondence, Barthbs position on the Jews during
the Hitler era, Barth and politics, Barthbs doctrine of providence,
Barthbs thought on Christian love and ethics, and Barthbs
conception of time and eternity. The volume ends with a winsome
memoir of Barth as a teacher.
