One of the great classics of prison literature, this effectively serves as the last will and testament of the theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, executed by the Nazis after incarceration in prison. Acute and subtle, warm and perceptive, yet also profoundly moving, the documents collectively tell a very human story of loss, of courage, and of hope.

This short book is a reflection on life as an intentional Christian community, written by Bonhoeffer during his time as a head of the Illegal Seminary of the Confessing Church in Finkenwalde (Eastern Prussia).

Resolutely aimed at those who come from traditions beyond the movement's traditional catholic heartlands but who seek to view their ministry through the lens of generous orthodoxy, "Love in Action" offers a deeply scriptural but accessible introduction to this vital approach to the church's ministry in the world.

A thoughtful, provocative approach to Christian doctrine, encouraging a spiritual/emotional response rather than solely an intellectual exercise.

While God's love 'makes no sense' it is nonetheless expressed through the lives of Christians who inhabit it. Following on from its predecessor, Love Makes No Sense each chapter in this book deals with central issues of Christian practice, and presents an introduction to Christian doctrine without losing focus of the lived Christian life.

"Melodies of a New Monasticism" adopts a musical metaphor of polyphony (the combination of two or more lines of music) to articulate the way that early Christian virtues can be woven together in community.
