Bonhoeffer and Christology: Revisiting Chalcedon


Add your own review!

Overview

The key question this volume addresses is 'how does Bonhoeffer's thought help to re(dis)cover the doctrine of Christ's two natures and one person and understand and renew it in its significance for a modern post-metaphysical and secular world?’ The volume takes a fresh look at Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Christology and brings it into a fruitful dialogue with current Christological debates. In a multi-perspectival, pluralistic world, Bonhoeffer’s thinking offers a productive basis for conceptually incorporating the openness required for this task into academic theology. Bonhoeffer’s theology offers a starting point for the recovery of a productive Christology that reflects the plurality of the globalized world, as Bonhoeffer’s Christology begins precisely with this integration into worldly reality, whereby the world is understood in its plurality and polyphony. In this way, he characterizes his enterprise as follows: “What keeps gnawing at me is the question, what is Christianity, or who is Christ actually for us today” (DBWE 8, 362). Accordingly, it opens itself up not only to inner-Christian discussion but also to non-Christian worldviews, from which a basic ethical demand follows.

Reviews

This volume, organized around Bonhoeffer’s provocative engagement with Chalcedonian Christology, is a gem! The contributions from senior scholars are masterpieces, and the work of the younger generation shows that Bonhoeffer scholarship has a bright future. * Michael DeJonge, University of South Florida, USA * This volume approaches Bonhoeffer’s Chalcedonian Christology from a multi-perspective including doctrinal, ecclesiological, ethical, and philosophical perspectives. The book hereby contributes to previous studies on Chalcedon in Bonhoeffer’s thought and explores the fullness of what it means today that Christ is truly God and truly man. * Ulrik Nissen, Aarhus University, Denmark * Bonhoeffer’s radical Christological reflections on the “who” of Christ, discipleship, the church and the world have had almost immeasurable impact on the theology of the last eighty years. This volume is a wonderful, and much needed, resource for anyone seeking to understand not only Bonhoeffer but also Christology more fully. * Tom Greggs, FRSE, Univeristy of Aberdeen, UK *
