The Cost of Discipleship
NEW FOREWORD BY ERIC METAXAS 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 book on living as a Christian. What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the government worker? 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

Ethics
The Christian does not live in a vacuum, says the author, but in a world of government, politics, labor, and marriage. Hence, Christian ethics cannot exist in a vacuum; what the Christian needs, claims Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is concrete instruction in a concrete situation. Although the author died before completing his work, this book is recognized as a major contribution to Christian ethics. The root and ground of Christian ethics, the author says, is the reality of God as revealed in Jesus Christ. This reality is not manifest in the Church as distinct from the secular world; such a juxtaposition of two separate spheres, Bonhoeffer insists, is a denial of God's having reconciled the whole world to himself in Christ. On the contrary, God's commandment is to be found and known in the Church, the family, labor, and government. His commandment permits man to live as man before God, in a world God made, with responsibility for the institutions of that world.
A Testament to Freedom
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was only thirty-nine years old when he was executed in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, yet his courage, vision, and brilliance have greatly influenced the twentieth-century Church and theology. Particularly through his bestselling classic, The Cost of Discipleship, Bonhoeffer profoundly shaped such minds and movements as Martin Luther King, Jr., and Leonardo Boff, civil rights and leberation theology.A Testament to Freedom, completely revised and expanded for this edition, includes previously untranslated writings, excerpts from major books, sermons, and selected letters spanning the years of Bonhoeffer's pastoral and theological career. This magnificent volume takes readers on a historical and biographical journey that follows Bonhoeffer through the various stages of his life--as teacher, ecumenist, pastor, preacher, seminary director, prophet in the Nazi era and, finally, as martyr in pursuit of peace and justice.

Liv I Gemenskap - Därför Behöver Kristna Varandra
Nu i mjukbandsformat och nytt bokomslag!När Gestapo på hösten 1937 hotade att stänga prästseminariet i Finkelwalde började Dietrich Bonhoeffer att skriva Liv och gemenskap. Den utkom 1939, hör till hans mest kända och lästa böcker och räknas till de kristna klassikerna. Här redogör Bonhoeffer för den fundamentala skillnaden mellan en radikal kristen gemenskap och en mänsklig, självisk gemenskap. Kristus är den som har visat oss detta. Liv i gemenskap handlar om att varje kristen är en unik avbild av Gud och våra olikheter är oumbärliga bidrag till gemenskapen. Likaväl som ingen kan vara människa utan medmänniskor, kan ingen heller vara kristen utan andra kristna. Det är i ett gemensamt liv som djupen och skönheten i Guds värld framträder. Bonhoeffers klarsynta analys av den kristna gemenskapen som en öppenhetens gemenskap vänd mot världen känns mer aktuell och angelägen än någonsin i vår tid av murbyggeri och extremism /.../ hans resonemang blir en uppmaning till dagens kristenhet att stå för en gemenskap där den andliga kärleken ser Kristus i varje människa, där det handlar om att bära varandra, inte behärska eller begränsa.Helle Klein i förordetDietrich Bonhoeffer (f 1906) var tysk präst, teolog och motståndsman, modig och klarsynt i sin kamp mot nazismen. Denna kamp ledde till att han greps av Gestapo, sattes i koncentrationsläger och avrättades den 9 april 1945, bara några veckor före Andra världskrigets slut.
Christ the Centre
The New York Times Book Review states, 'It would be impossible to overrate Dietrich Bonhoeffer's importance as a disciple, a great Christian and moral leader.' Christ the Center cogently presents the basis of Bonhoeffer's thinking about Jesus Christ and offers the key to his entire theology. A classic work of Christological thought, both edifying and uplifting, Christ the Center is an enlightening guide to faith and action in uncertain times.
Watch for the Light
This collection, born of obvious passion and graced with superb writing, is a welcome even necessary addition to the glutted holiday bookshelves. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Though Christians the world over make yearly preparations for Lent, there’s a conspicuous lack of good books for that other great spiritual season: Advent. All the same, this four-week period leading up to Christmas is making a comeback as growing numbers reject shopping-mall frenzy and examine the deeper meaning of the season. Ecumenical in scope, these fifty devotions invite the reader to contemplate the great themes of Christmas and the significance that the coming of Jesus has for each of us – not only during Advent, but every day. Whether dipped into at leisure or used on a daily basis, Watch for the Light gives the phrase “holiday preparations” new depth and meaning. Includes contributions by these and other writers: * C. S. Lewis, Madeleine L’Engle, Thomas Merton, and Philip Yancey * Dorothy
Efterföljelse
Från Dietrich Bonhoeffer utgår en skapande impuls långt efter hans död - och kanske vi bara har sett början än. Kanske vi på fler och fler orter ska få se en församling som har slutat anstränga sig för att leva ett privat, världsfrånvänt religiöst liv och istället delar ett överflödande mänskligt liv med varandra så att världen kan tro att Gud verkligen blev människa i Jesus Kristus. För det är till levande människor Dietrich Bonhoeffer skriver. Dietrich Bonhoeffers klassiska verk tillkom under den tid han undervisade och levde tillsammans med studenter inom Bekännelsekyrkan på seminariet i Finkelwalde. Detta var motståndsrörelsens teologiska centrum och stängdes av Gestapo i november 1937. En månad senare kom Efterföljelse ut. Bonhoeffer reflekterar över kallelsen att följa Jesus och vilka konsekvenser det får på det personliga planet och för kyrkan. Han frågar sig om inte vi alltför ofta ersätter den dyra nåden med billig nåd och (därmed) kompromissar med den odelade lydnaden.

Collected Sermons of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Preaching, according to Bonhoeffer, is like offering an apple to a child. The gospel is proclaimed, but for it to be received as gift depends on whether or not the hearer is in a position to do so. Offered here are thirty-one of Pastor Bonhoeffer's sermons, in new English translations, which he preached at various times of the year and in a variety of different settings. Each is introduced by Bonhoeffer translator Isabel Best who also provides a brief biography of Bonhoeffer. The foreword is by Victoria J. Barnett, general editor of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, English edition, published by Fortress Press, from which these sermons are selected. In his preaching, Bonhoeffer's strong, personal faiththe foundation for everything he didshines in the darkness of Hitler's Third Reich and in the church struggle against it. Though not overtly political, Bonhoeffer's deep concern for the developments in his world is revealed in his sermons as he seeks to draw the listener into conversation

Bethelbekännelsen 1933 - Ett Lutherskt Försök
Under den tyska kyrkokampen samlades en grupp teologer, bl.a. Dietrich Bonhoeffer och Hermann Sasse, för att skriva en ny bekännelse. Denna skulle användas i motståndet mot nationalsocialismen och ta upp aktuella frågor. Förutom den kristna teologins klassiska ämnen tar bekännelsen därför också upp t.ex. rasfrågan, behandlingen av judar och den totalitära statens anspråk. För första gången görs nu denna viktiga text tillgänglig på svenska. Till bekännelsen har skrivits en utförlig historisk inledning och en teologisk kommentar.
Life Together and Prayerbook of the Bible
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, one of the most influential Christian martyrs in history, bequeathed to humanity a legacy of theological creativity and spirituality that continues to intrigue people from a variety of backgrounds. Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, a sixteen volume series, offers a fresh, critical translation of Bonhoeffer's writings, with introductions, annotations, and interpretations. The stimulus for the writing of Life Together was the closing of the preacher's seminary at Finkenwalde. The treatise contains Bonhoeffer's thoughts about the nature of Christian community based on the common life that he and his seminarians experienced at the seminary and in the 'Brother's House' there. Bonhoeffer completed the writing of Life Together in 1938. Prayerbook of the Bible is a classic of Christian spirituality. In this theological interpretation of the Psalms, Bonhoeffer describes the moods of an individual's relationship with God and also the turns of love and heartbreak, of joy and
Ethics
The crown jewel of Bonhoeffer's body of work, Ethics is the culmination of his theological and personal odyssey. Based on careful reconstruction of the manuscripts, freshly and expertly translated and annotated, this new critical edition features an insightful Introduction by Clifford Green and an Afterword from the German edition's editors. Though caught up in the vortex of momentous forces in the Nazi period, Bonhoeffer systematically envisioned a radically Christocentric, incarnational ethic for a post-war world, purposefully recasting Christians' relation to history, politics, and public life. This edition allows scholars, theologians, ethicists, and serious Christians to appreciate the cogency and relevance of Bonhoeffer's vision.
