About Me

My photo
A wooded mountain path, a clear rolling stream, a faithful dog by my side, the company of family and friends, a stack of compelling books, and a steaming cup of black coffee - these are a few of my favorite things.

Bonhoeffer, Eric Metaxas

Once past Metaxas' gushing in the first three chapters, I loved this book. Over all it is written in a very pleasant style. Following the story and keeping up with Metaxas' thought line is pretty easy. My only problem is that Metaxas fails to discuss Bonhoeffer's neo-orthoxy. Francis Schaeffer discusses some misappropriation of definitions that Bonhoeffer is prone to in vol. 1 of Schaeffer's Complete Works. Not to impugn the man in any way, but with Bonhoeffer one must keep this in mind. December 2014.
