A study of the historical Jesus, this work focuses on the context of ancient Utopian thought and Utopian communities.

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).
