More from Bonhoeffer

I haven't had much time to read lately, between AAR/SBL preparations and helping Debbie's parents move. But, I have still found some gems, for example:

Obedience without freedom is slavery, freedom without obedience is arbitrariness. Obedience binds freedom, freedom ennobles obedience. Obedience binds the creature to the Creator, freedom places the creature, made in God's image, face-to-face with the Creator. Obedience makes clear to human beings that they have to be told what is good and what the Lord requires of them... —Ethics, page 287.
