This book is quite simply, one of the most profound and important books of the 20th century. Dietrich Bonhoeffer lived a testimony of his thoughtful and engaging writers. Focusing on the most treasured part of Christ's teaching - the Sermon on the Mount with its call to discipleship, and on the grace of God and the sacrifice which that demands. // Viewed against the background of Nazi Germany, Bonhoeffer's book is striking enough. At the same time, it shares with many great Christian classics a quality of timelessness, so that it has spoken, and continues to speak powerfully, to the varied concerns of the contemporary world.

      Bonhoeffer's classic text on the difference between cheap grace and costly faith calls upon the Christian Church to examine its faith in the light of scripture and not culture. Despite having been heavily influenced by the liberal and neo-orthodox German scholars of the early twentieth century (Tillich, Barth, Bultmann, for example), Bonhoeffer remains very orthodox in this work, concerning himself mainly with an elaborate examination of Christ's famous Sermon on the Mount. Having narrated Bonhoeffer's later work, LIFE TOGETHER, Paul Michael knows the author's writing voice. Michael's take on the text brings a steady and measured tempo that many modern narrators would eschew for a more nuanced reading, but Michael understands the text and lets it speak for itself. S.M.M.
