Cost of Discipleship
Cost of Discipleship | Dietrich Bonhoeffer
One of the most important theologians of the twentieth century illuminates the relationship between ourselves and the teachings of Jesus in this classic text on ethics, humanism, and civic duty. What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between cheap grace and costly grace. Cheap grace, Bonhoeffer wrote, is the grace we bestow on ourselves...grace without discipleship....Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the girl which must be asked for, the door at which a man must know....It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life. "The Cost of Discipleship" is a compelling statement of the demands of sacrifice and ethical consistency from a man whose life and thought were exemplary articulations of a new type of leadership inspired by the Gospel, and imbued with the spirit of Christian humanism and a creative sense of civic duty."

This book is overwhelming. I am pretty sure half of it is going over my head. I am trying though!

Blueberry I tried one of his books also and gave up. Had to sit with a dictionary to read it. 5y
Mtroiano Have you read Life Together? It was dense too but only about 100 pages so a little more manageable 5y
hwestfall I haven‘t read Life Together. I will have to add it to my list! 5y

My current TBR pile. My next class is Biblical Leadership Principles. Bonhoeffer and MacArthur are my “fun reads”, everything else is for course of study.

Gee whiz! What a guy!! Doesn't mince words. Discipleship is costly. But it's worth the suffering.

I know the Nazi leaders in the last days before their fall made certain that Dietrich Bonhoeffer would not survive the camps. This makes him interesting to me - what about him were they afraid of? That's what prompted me to read one of his books and I can see why the message would not appeal to a totalitariab regime. It appealed to me though - and challenged me. A good read! (Listen) 😉
