Bonhoeffer's Discipleship
I have a paperback copy of Bonhoeffer's Discipleship that I am prepared to give away to anyone who can (a) pay postage and packing or pick it up at some stage (e.g. when visiting Manchester or at the British NT Conference in September) (b) give me a good reason why they want it for their own Library, via the comments to this post.
It isn't an old, beaten up version of the SCM edition, but a pristine copy of the new, definitive Fortress DBW edition, Volume 4 with all of the scholarly apparatus and additional information that characterises that edition.
You have a week to bid.
Update:
I am pleased to say that the book will go to my good friend Catriona who will be reading it while drinking her Skinny Fairtrade Latte.

I'm surprised you have no 'bids' on this, maybe all these people who write wise stuff on your Blog already own it.
Well the answer to (a) would be to pick it up but a good answer to (b) is more tricky!
I could say, well I recently bought a new bookcase and have spare capacity, but that would be to suggest that the aim of theology books is to fill the available space, thus contradicting my views on the Church and space.
I could say, truthfully, that reading any Bonhoeffer is a gap in my theological education, but maybe that's a 'Bonhoeffer of the Gaps' argument, which you may wish to refute.
I could say I'm a skint HMF funded minister and appeal to Sean's preferential option for the (relatively) poor.
Or I could admit that any offer of free books is worth considering!

Hey Sean - came here thru Simon Holt's blog.
I am a big Bonhoeffer fan so if you've still got the book I'd love to take it off your hands! (I am in the land of Oz)
I won't rant about all my reasons - I just love his raw uncompromising approach to calling people to follow Jesus and all that means.

Thank you Sean, I shall indeed look forward to reading it.
If it's OK with you I'll pick it up when I come to introduced to the DPT later this month (20th -22nd).
