Christian Ethics
Christian does not live in a vacuum, says the author, but in a world of government, politics, work and marriage. Thus, Christian ethics can not in a vacuum, what the Christian needs, requests Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is concrete instruction in a specific situation. Although the author died before completing his work, this book is recognized as an important contribution to Christian ethics. The root and ground of Christian ethics, says the author, is the reality…

Dietrich, the church has an amazing book, which came from one of the darkest periods of human history left. Ethics provides every reader with many challenges and dares to the reality of Christian thought and the assumptions that lead to confront the Church. Nowhere outside of Scripture that I have seen or heard the challenge of Jesus Christ expressed so clearly expressed, as I have in ethics. If you find this book a radical change of course in God’s name and the challenge that will help you get started, who you are with him emitters.The never replace the Scriptures, but is a clear expression of faith that Scripture is the life Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book gestellt.Dieses very intellectual and requires much effort and work through meditation. This is a job that will truly be over the heads “of most readers, but we must try to read and explore in any case so few have in the last century so clearly in the mind of God through the scriptures the Holy Scriptures seen.

Bonhoeffer’s theology, which states that the person responsible. He makes the argument that we should not compartmentalize our faith and our life in the real world – to do something that we all too easily. He believes that we are not only good people live as a single (or, as he tries to reformulate the questions and do what God wants), but that we are social creatures and must therefore look for in a good society that we help to live. It ‘interesting that he had ties with the state. A breathtaking site includes his appeal to the void that is threatening us (I think I understand all that refers not only to evil, but also the materialism / secularism), and that the state – as bad – as “bullies” evil. This section alone is worth the price of the book. Rating: 4 / 5
In chapter fist Bonhoeffer challenges the idea that is spiritual, what is good and what is physical is evil. The second is directed to call our attention to what is good to ask what is the figure of Christ in the Church today. Gives as a brief history of how the West has become an atheist Rating: 4 / 5
Ethics is a difficult task to tackle, especially because the work was not finished when Bonhoeffer was arrested and imprisoned. Many versions of ethics requires an editor to organize the manuscripts into a coherent whole – but only the “Works” edition contains all the information (including comments on the context and the translation from German) manuscript on the letter of Ethics. This is the version to get if you “complete” we want in-depth discussion or research (the band) contains a detailed bibliography, but not for the casual reader who wants to be an overview of the formulation of ethics of Bonhoeffer. (Otherwise, you could not understand why you read a chapter titled “History and good”, twice!) Rating: 5 / 5
Bonhoeffer offers penetrating theological, ethical and Spirtual in this unfinished, posthumously published book. I believe that this work has more to offer than the cost of discipleship and more academic (no offers perhaps mentally) of letters and documents from prison. It ‘feeling more mature than the cost of discipleship (rightly, as written). Bonhoeffer’s writing style is incredibly simple and clear. In an almost Nietzschean, Bonhoeffer is the point and does not weigh the reader with non-essential. These are two weak points are that it is not yet complete and that the chapters have been ordered by a friend of Bonhoeffer, so the question of how Bonhoeffer wanted his organization. Its main strength is that it is a theology that is academically rigorous and highly practical deals. In this “postmodern” age, theology is valuable. This work has significantly influenced my theological thinking. Perhaps it is not recommended for beginners in theology, but not so for those who recommend some background in theology and / or Bonhoeffer. Rating: 5 / 5
