Bonhoeffer on the Christian Life

Short Review: Best short introduction to Bonhoeffer's theology I have read. I have read a fair amount by or about Bonhoeffer. But this introduction to Bonhoeffer's understanding of the Christian Life and theology is very good. While writing for an Evangelical audience, Nichols avoids Metaxes' problem of turning Bonhoeffer into a modern US evangelical. But Nichols also succeeds in writing a very readable book on a theologian that is not always readable himself.

If you have no background on Bonhoeffer, I probably would recommend a biography first, but this is a good intro to Bonhoeffer.
