The Cost of Discipleship is an inspiration to many evangelicals. Yet Dietrich Bonhoeffer has remained a respected outsider to evangelicalism until this careful, provocative reexamination. Georg Huntemann, a well-known conservative scholar in European theological circles, reinterprets Bonhoeffer in the context of events that swirled through German society from his birth in 1906 until his execution at the Flossenburg concentration camp in April 1945. This book is a reminder that while Bonhoeffer confronted the church for its relationship with National Socialism, that message was not just for 1930s Germany; it is highly relevant to today's church.
