Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Evangelical Moment in American Public Life
No full textThis essay was delivered during a panel discussion entitled "'Costly Discipleship and Contemporary Culture: Bonhoeffer as a Model for Religious Activism" during the conference Dietrich Bonhoeffer for Our Times: Jewish and Christian Perspectives, cosponsored by the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Hebrew College, and Andover-Newton Theological School, September 18, 2006. The author argues that conservative American evangelicals "often conflate loyalty to Jesus Christ with loyalty to the United States of America. They weave together loyalty to Jesus Christ with loyalty to the president, the party, the troops, the flag, or the nation." For the author, the witness of Dietrich Bonhoeffer encourages a strong resistance to such a confusion of loyalties

Bonhoeffer. Trúartúlkun í myndugum heimi
No full textRitgerðin er skrifuð í tilefni af því að sjötíu ár eru liðin frá píslarvættisdauða Dietrichs Bonhoeffers. Í inngangi rekur höfundur eigin kynni við sögu og guðfræði Bonhoeffers en segir jafnframt frá helstu æviatriðum hans, afstöðu hans til nasistaflokksins, menntun hans og kennslu en einnig kynnir hann fjölskyldu hans og fjölskyldutengsl. Í fyrri meginhluta ritgerðarinnar er fjallað um andófsmanninn Bonhoeffer. Þar er þróun hans rakin frá því að vera afskiptalítill um málefni samfélagins í átt til sívaxandi þátttöku á því sviði. Þar kemur til reynsla hans af guðfræðingum og kirkjulífi vestanhafs og í Englandi en einnig virkri þátttöku í samkirkjulegu starfi. Í síðari meginhluta er fjallað um guðfræði Bonhoeffers samkvæmt Fangelsisbréfunum en þar er að finna afar sérstaka þróun þau tvö ár sem hann sat í fangelsum nasista í Þýskalandi. Megináherslan er þar lögð á skilning Bonhoeffers á myndugleika trúarinnar, á guðshugtakinu, á pólitískri ábyrgð kristins manns og ekki hvað síst guðfræðingsins og loks áhersla hans á reynsluna sem eina meginforsendu guðfræðinnar.AbstractSeventy years ago the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer suffered a martyr´s death in Germany. In the short introduction the author introduces some facts of Bonhoeffer´s life, his attitude to the nazi party, his education and lecturing but also his family and family connections. The first main section of the article explains Bonhoeffer´s path towards the political resistance, away from his rather passive attitude on the political scene towards a growing political consciousness based on his experience, faith and theology. In that development his acquaintance with church people and theologians in America, England and his participation in the ecumenical movement, plays a definite role. In the second main section the author deals with some key theological issues in his letters the two years of his imprisonment. Among the main issues dealt with are theology and faith in a culture “come of age”, the concept of God, the political responsibility of the Christian individual and the Christian community and Bonhoeffer´s view of a theology based on experience according to Luther´s view: sola autem experientia facit theologum (only experience makes the theologian.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer. 80 Years Since His Passing
No full textOn 9 April 2025, Christian academia commemorated the 80th year since the death of the prominent German theologian and pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was executed by the Nazis a month before the end of World War II. Bonhoeffer left behind a great legacy as a minister of the church, as a patriot of his people, and as an author of theological works. Today, his theological contribution includes sixteen volumes of texts plus one volume of registers and appendices in German. Only the eighth volume of Widerstand und Ergebung, which contains letters and notes written by Bonhoeffer when he was already behind bars since April 1943, has been translated into Ukrainian. It was published under the title Sprotyv i pokora (eng. Resistance and Obedience). Any serious study of Bonhoeffer’s work that is being conducted in Ukraine today should be based on these primary sources. One of the main questions that Bonhoeffer raises in his work is: “Who can stand?” His answer is: not the one for whom reason, principles, conscience, personal freedom, and virtue are the highest authority, but the one who is ready to sacrifice all of this if he is convinced that by faith and through an exceptional connection with God he is “called to obedient and responsible action.” The life of such a responsible person is a response to the request and call of God. The only question is “where are these responsible people?” (wo sind die Verantwortlichen?)

.Religionless Christianity in the Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The main aim of this work is to analize the concept religionless Christianity in the Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. This work is based on Bonhoeffers letters from prison - where author is trying to answer such questions as how can Jesus Christ become the Lord for religionless people? Are there religionless Christians? What does church, a community, a sermon, a liturgy, a Christian life mean in a religionless world? How can people speak about God without religion and how it is possible to speak in a secular way about God? What does Christianity and Christ mean for people today?
This work reveals that Bonhoeffer speaks about the world, which has become of age, and learned to live not only without religion but also without God.
Bonhoeffer writes that nowadays there is a need for a new language – which might be totally religeonless.
As a result it was revealed that the concept religionless Christianity was not fully developed by the author, as well as the answers to authors questions were not fully answered.
Keywords: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, religionless Christianity, world come of age, worldliness
