Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer's notions of religionless Christianity have
provoked a great deal of theological inquiry, much of which has
hindered evangelical reception of Bonhoeffer's work. By setting
religionless Christianity in the context of Bonhoeffer's Lutheran
sacramental theology, Chris Dodson furthers Bonhoeffer's belief
that receiving the God given in the sacraments both resists
Christians' proclivity towards religious, self-serving ends and
draws Christians into a life of robust faith and love. Receiving
Christ in baptism, the Eucharist, and confession serves to instill,
sustain, locate, and vitalize the form of life that Bonhoeffer
calls "religionless." The church and its core practices are not
abandoned in Bonhoeffer's prison letters; they are reengaged with a
more proper disposition: faithful love of God and neighbor. In this
way, common evangelical skepticisms about Bonhoeffer's later
theology can be assuaged. Bonhoeffer's theology, rightly construed,
provokes evangelicals, and particularly American evangelicals, to
reconsider and restructure their worship along the lines of a
religionless Christianity that promotes a deeper faith resulting
from a more vigorous encounter with Christ as he gives himself over
to his people.
