About this title: Called by Karl Barth the brilliant Ethics of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, this book is finally being recognized as Bonhoeffers magnum opus and one of the most important works of Christian ethics of the last century. Presented here in a new translation and a striking new arrangement, it is based on intensive study of the original manuscripts and includes copious historical notes and commentary. Written in the midst of the conspiracy to overthrow the Hitler regime, it is nonetheless chiefly concerned with ethics for the postwar time of reconstruction and peace. Focused on Christ, the God who became ...

"Ths book comes in just under/behind The Cost of Discipleship. The two themes that really stuck out to me had these (though the second point might have come before the first point): First, Christ did a complete redemptive work. Therefore, there is no appropriate "religious" realm and an inappropriate "secular" realm. American Evangelicals like to believe that anything secular is automatically backseat, second-best to the religious. Bonhoeffer says that is nonsense. The city clerk's work has as much value as the missionary in a far away land, provided both are where they are because that is where God directed them. Secondly, as profound as the first, a lot of Christians continue to commit the sin of Adam and Eve, eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. How so? We spend most of our time deciding which things/events/values/etc. are good and which are bad. Bonhoeffer makes the assertion that, for the Christian, there is no "good" or "bad," only the will of God. We, as the redeemed, do not have the luxury to choose what is good or bad, that judgement is for God alone. We only get to decide that which is God's will, consistent with His word, and that which is not God's will, inconsistent with His word."
"This book is Bonhoeffer's effort to create a comprehensive practical theology for the modern world. It shows him wrestling with many questions (particularly regarding politics and the relationship of the Christian to the state) that would occupy him in later life under the Nazis. His insights on human relationships (particularly marriage, family, and child-bearing) seem very contemporary, and have a lot to offer the 21st century Christian."
