Bonhoeffer’s Dismay Over the German Church

When the phrase “cheap grace” is brought up or mentioned, it is almost always associated with Dietrich Bonhoeffer:

This phrase…represented his dismay at the easy going displacement of genuine Christian faith in the crisis years of Hitler’s rise to absolute power (Geffrey B. Kelly and F. Burton Nelson: The Cost of Moral Leadership: The Spiritual of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 131-132).

What would Dietrich Bonhoeffer think of twenty-first Christians in America?

Would he lament the lack of “genuine Christian faith” among us?

Or is there a “costly grace” that causes us to wholly commit our lives to obeying and glorifying Jesus Christ?
