One Cool Lutheran
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Author:
- The Cost of Discipleship ("Cheap grace is the enemy of the church")
- Ethics ("The first task of a Christian system of ethics is to do away with the notion of good and evil")
[paraphrases by Xofezura, who can't find his copies of above mention works at the moment, but has read both and recommends them. The Cost of Discipleship in particular dovetails nicely with the spirituality of the Desert Fathers.]

gotta hand it to you. he is a cool lutheran and i'm not much for lutherans.
It's curious that two of the three most famous Lutherans (Luther being the third) were such fierce opponents of the Lutheran Church. It must be their particular charism to be anti-establishment. Probably a good one to have, but it seems so ... exhausting ... on a personal level.
that's a great observation. I never thought about it, but you're right.
