Ethics by Clifford J. Green, Dietrich Bonhoeffer
5.0
I could never adequately express how much I love Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He and C.S. Lewis are my two favorite theologians, and for a lot of the same reasons: very good at seeing the big picture but not at the expense of specifics and details. Excellent at dealing with caveats and grey areas. Excellent at explaining complex things in a very clear way. Their writing styles are always engaging and never dry.
This work on ethics was unfinished due to his execution, which is tragic for many reasons. One of them is that works like this, while sublime in their current form, would have been even more wonderful if he had been able to complete them.
Regardless of it being unfinished, it was the best work on ethics I’ve read. He pointed to Jesus with every sentence. Thankful to God for Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
