ⓘ About Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a religion and Spirituality author born in Breslau, Germany. He was a German Lutheran pastor and theologian and took part in the German Resistance movement against Nazism. His participation in the plan to assassinate Adolf Hitler led to his arrest in April 1943 and later his execution by hanging in 1945, just before the war ended. Being among the prominent theologians in the twentieth century brings to light the relationship between Jesus’ teachings and ourselves. What does Jesus what us to do? What does the call to discipleship and obeying Jesus teachings mean to people today? The author draws answers from the sermon on the mountain for the numerous questions while reading the dichotomy between costly grace and cheap grace.
