About the book:
Life Together is a book by the German Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, written while he taught at an underground seminary during the Third Reich in Germany. His commitment to his faith in Christ led him to a staunch resistance of the dehumanizing, destructive policies of Nazism, and ultimately cost him his life. We will consider what the call of Christian faith entails for us in our own day, as we resist the powers and principalities that threaten and harm God’s beloved.

There is a free PDF of the book available here. If you prefer a paper copy, we encourage participants to patronize local bookstores, such as the woman-owned Spell Books in Downtown Littleton (order from them for pickup or shipping here), or the Black-and woman-owned Shop at MATTER in Denver (order from them via Bookshop here).
