Cole Jodon teaches theology at the Houston Graduate School of Theology.
1. The Church
2. Church Unity
3. The Visible Church
4. Discipleship in Bonhoeffer’s Ecumenical Works
5. Bonhoeffer’s Ecumenism of Discipleship
Cole Jodon has provided the first systematic treatment of Bonhoeffer’s rich ecumenical theology, tracing the complex ways in which this theology is bound up with a conception of church as the presence of Christ. This is an important book that should be read and studied carefully by all those with interests in Bonhoeffer or commitments to Christian unity.

Bonhoeffer’s role in the nascent ecumencial movement is well known, but has remained under resourced as an area of scholarly reflection. Cole Jodon’s book not only offers a clear and comprehensive account of Bonhoeffer’s ecumenism, but also moves beyond thinking towards Bonhoeffer to thinking with and beyond Bonhoeffer in constructive reflection. Bonhoeffer scholars and scholars of ecumenism are both well served by this book.
