Summary

After his martyrdom at the hands of the Gestapo in 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer continued his witness in the hearts of Christians around the world. His became a prized testimony to Christian faith and courage, read by thousands.

Now, 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 bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.

still relevant, but very male centred language.

Great content, narration a bit flat but then it isn't an epic so that's probably appropriate. content relevant but phrasing to all male establishment a bit annoying 80 years later.

I need the text version! (And that’s my highest compliment!)

This short book (just over three hours, about one per chapter) was so good, I was considering buying the text before the end of the first chapter so I could absorb it more slowly. There’s so much meat in here from Bonhoeffer. My favourite theologians are those who also pastor and this book is an example of why: he offers truth in ways that take fully into account the realities of church life.

If you’re a Christian struggling with church, whether from negative experiences or just uncertainty about how you fit in, this book offers practical steps you can take as well as a solid app theological grounding for those practices.

I gave it a four for the reading because it was really quite good, and a three for story because, no lie, it’s not exactly unputdownable, but I’m still giving it a solid overall five stars because if you’re a Christian today this book is absolutely relevant and relatable. It’s dense, with each line giving plenty of food for thought, yet it’s easy to follow and the translation is very lucid.
