Life Together
''Life Together'' is a book by the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, written while Bonhoeffer taught at an underground seminary. Other works of Bonhoeffer include ''The Cost of Discipleship'' and a compilation of letters that he wrote from prison.
==''Life Together'' and Bonhoeffer==
At a time when hatred and suspicion were on the rise due to the world wars, Bonhoeffer lifted up text on love and living in harmony. He believed that God bestows brotherhood upon us because we are in fact our brother's keeper. In his writing he expounds upon his premise, "Without Christ there is discord between God and man and between man and man . . . Christ opened up the way to God and to our brother".〔p. 23〕 He opens with the quote from Psalms 133:1: "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." He then gives several examples of times when we are to come together through praise. He writes that community is not something to be taken for granted. In the work, he detailed the necessity of the church functioning as a living and vibrant organism, what he called a "community of love". Because this gave him an inside view to the needs of the Body of Christ, he was able to articulate what he saw as the gap in reality between what the Church should look like according to the Book of Acts, and what the Church actually looked like before the eyes of the world. He found it hard to accept that most pastors considered the way the Nazis treated the Jews to be acceptable, which they expressed through inaction. He struggled with the moral dilemma of obeying the authorities or following the higher laws of Christ.
