bonhoeffer's description of practical community
Life Together is Bonhoeffer's description of community life at the Finkenwalde seminary, the underground seminary for the Confessing Church that he led until it was closed by the Nazis. Life Together provides a practical conclusion to Bonhoeffer's early concentration on ecclesiology. It is an excellent tool for both academic and devotional studies of the nature of community.
The Bonhoeffer Works edition of Life Together provides historical clarification with extensive notes from leading Bonhoeffer scholars. It is an excellent resource both for those who are studying Bonhoeffer academically and those who use this book in church groups.
excellent new edition of Dietrich's Prayerbook of the Bible
This volume contains two gems that come from Bonhoeffer's leading an illegal seminary in the 1930s. I had read the earlier editions and been impressed, but the new edition contains so much historical context in the introductions that I can now read »between the lines«. Good for personal reading, but we've also used both Life Together and Prayerbook of the Bible in group studies at our church.
Love this book
I used this book for my homework and love it. i read every part of the first half of the book. Love how he commented on community and that we need to be together even after we part from people.
