Reviews

With this first book length treatment of unconscious Christianity, Eleanor McLaughlin offers a carefully researched, compelling, and pathbreaking interpretation of what is perhaps Bonhoeffer's most challenging theological legacy. Her careful reading not only clarifies what Bonhoeffer meant by unconscious Christianity, but also opens up new directions for Bonhoeffer research, and for all concerned about the church's witness in a secular age.--Jens Zimmermann, Trinity Western University While there has been much ink spilled over Bonhoeffer's religionless Christianity and over Rahner's anonymous Christianity, there has been surprisingly little reflection on Bonhoeffer's account of unconscious Christianity. With thoroughness, care, and precision, Eleanor McLaughlin has done not only Bonhoeffer studies but also theology a great service in unpacking this important theme for the contemporary world. This is a remarkable achievement.--Tom Greggs, FRSE, University of Aberdeen
