From the Publisher
In Life Together we have Pastor Bonhoeffer's experience of Christian community. This story of a unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years reads like one of Paul's letters. It gives practical advice on how life together in Christ can be sustained in families and groups. The role of personal prayer, worship in common, everyday work, and Christian service is treated in simple, almost biblical, words. Life Together is read for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.
About the Author
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–45), a German pastor and theologian, played a central role in the Confessing Church during the Nazi period and became one of the most influential theologians of the twentieth century. He studied in Berlin and at Union Theological Seminary in New York City and wrote several books read widely in German and English. His theology and personal witness continue to challenge Christians of all denominations.
Active in the German resistance movement, Bonhoeffer traveled extensively while working for the Abwehr, the German counterintelligence organization. His role in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler ultimately cost him his life, and he was hanged by the Gestapo on April 9, 1945.
