Although his work has been influential among academics, his widest readership has always been the church. Each Sunday, Bonhoeffer's writings are referenced in sermons and study groups around the world. And yet no systematic introduction to Bonhoeffer exists for this audience. In \u003ci\u003eBonhoeffer for the Church\u003c\/i\u003e, Matthew Kirkpatrick corrects this omission. Structured around topics such as preaching, worship, sacraments, prayer, pastoral care, confession, evangelism, and apologetics, \u003ci\u003eBonhoeffer for the Church\u003c\/i\u003e offers an accessible but comprehensive introduction to Bonhoeffer's life and thought for those in ministry or interested in understanding their life in community better.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn making Bonhoeffer accessible \u003ci\u003efor\u003c\/i\u003e the church, Kirkpatrick also reveals Bonhoeffer's astonishing message \u003ci\u003eto\u003c\/i\u003e the church.
