Inhaltsangabe:

From one of the most widely-influential Christian writers of all time – German theologian and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer – now the subject of a major motion picture

Famed Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Life Together is a bold and daring look at Christian life, and what cross-centered living can look like for all believers. Renowned for his thoughts on Christianity’s role in the secular world, Bonhoeffer, also the author of bestselling The Cost of Discipleship, allows readers to deepen their faith and fellowship through actionable steps towards building lasting and meaningful communities.

In Life Together, Bonhoeffer, famous for his involvement in a plot to overthrow Adolph Hitler, recounts his unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years in Germany. Through this one-of-a-kind lived experience, he compassionately yet challengingly defines what living in a community is all about, and the divine importance of it.

In five brief, yet rich, chapters, Bonhoeffer enlightens us on:

·      How to build a meaningful community, through both mutual affection for Christ and for each other

·      The fundamental elements of community, including prayer, worship, and service, but also listening, comforting, and confessing sins to one another

·      How love permeates every aspect of community—love for God, one another, and the beauty of connection

·      The role that loneliness and uncertainty play in finding community and answering God’s call

Practical yet profound, this book remains the most influential and modern book on the nature and spirit of authentic Christian community. It reveals the communal Christian spirit that inspired Bonhoeffer and his Christian associates to conspire to assassinate Hitler as an act of true Christian love and courage. Life Together is bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.
