The death, however, is, “… in order to live again in life abundant. A friend and I recently decided to start reading and discussing Dietrich Bonhoeffer's The Cost of Discipleship.

Last fall I was on the bus to Hyde Park, preparing to lead a class discussion on preaching and politics, when I read Dietrich Bonhoeffer's last surviving letter to his parents, from February, 1945: ways, partly by being so hard to categorize-- Creation and Fall, [The Cost of] Discipleship, Life Together, Ethics (unfinished)--but his Letters and Papers from Prison constitute a testament that is at once revolutionary as theology, significant as history, and profound as literature.

Bonhoeffer was a voracious reader and writer, and wrote The Cost of Discipleship, Letters from Prison, and Life Together, among other profound works.

The book examines the life, imprisonment and death of the German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer during World War II. I began reading Dietrich Bonhoeffer's biography along with the man's The Cost of Discipleship a few weeks ago.
