  "The Sanhedrin condemns Jesus for claiming that He was able to destroy the temple and rebuild it [...] They want a god of guarantees, whose entire reason for being is to ensure that their temple will stand and keep standing, no matter what .

• The narrow road

  
  the 48 files — Authority: 125
  I nearly finished (The Cost of) Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer while on holiday. An incredible, if occasionally frustrating book. Here is a particularly wonderful quote (formating mine): The road of the disciples is narrow.   It is easy to go past it;   it is easy to miss it;   it is easy to lose ...

• Bonhoeffers Ethics 1

  
  Christians in Context: from orthodoxy to orthopraxy. — Authority: 425
  Out of the books Ive read in 2009, Bonhoeffers Ethics has stuck with me more than any other. Im not all that well-acquainted with the discipline of ethics, but I thought it was curious when I saw that Bonhoeffer had written a book on the subject. I associated books of the type with analytic philosophers, not 20th ...

• Bonhoeffer on: Cheap Grace

  
  The Simple Pastor — Authority: 130
  Dietrich Bonhoeffer is a hero of mine. His words about grace remain relevant still. This is from his famous The Cost of Discipleship . "The price we are having to pay today in the shape of the collapse of the organised church is only the inevitable consequence of our policy of making grace available to all at too ...

  Living Wittily — Authority: 468
  "...the church is subjected to all the weaknesses and suffering of the world. The church can, at times, like Christ himself, be without a roof over its head...real worldliness consists in the churchs being able to renounce all privileges and all its property but never Christs Word and the forgiveness of sins.

• Dietrich Bonhoeffer - "We must have some share in Christs largeheartedness..."

  
  Living Wittily — Authority: 468
  Reading a lot of Bonhoeffer just now. No ulterior motive beyond spending time with one of the most pastorally astringent and spiritually decisive voices in modern theology. I learn more about the reality of Christ and the call to reality in my living for Christ, from Bonhoeffer than from most other writers. In place ...

• Why I (still) confess the filioque

  
  Faith and Theology — Authority: 531
  In theology, Eastern Orthodoxy is the new black. These days its harder and harder to find any serious Protestant commitment to the western confession of filioque .

  Taking Thoughts Captive... — Authority: 113
  I’m no expert on the theology of the Church Growth Movement (or whatever clever moniker it goes by these days), but I can’t help but be disappointed at the continual emphasis on church growth (i.e., numbers) that is so rampant within Evangelicalism.  Everywhere you turn there are books, seminars, web sites, ...
