Dietrich Bonhoeffer was one of the truly creative spirits church. This book on "The Cost of discipleship" would be an inspiration and a guide to Christian thought and action in any event, even if we did not know the heroic life and the Martyn`s death which sealed its truth. But the knowledge of these will add weight to the testimony of the book. Bondhoefer, who spent a year of graduate study in this country, was one of the most resolute and courageous witnesses to Christ against Nazi tyranny. He was a member of the council of the Confessional Church, which organized the church resistence to Nazism. Much of this time was spent in organizing an "underground" theological seminary, which moved from place with a small group of students, evading the regime and preparing young men for the ministry under the hazardous conditions in a tyrannical state.
