Abstract
In this course we will study the life, theology and legacy of German pastor/theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945). After reviewing Bonhoeffer’s biography, we will engage in a systematic study of his theology, beginning with the dissertations and continuing through his major published works—Christ the Center, Creation and Fall, Discipleship, and Ethics. We will conclude the course by looking at Bonhoeffer’s prison theology and studying his contemporary influence. Throughout the course we will attempt to keep in view the relationship between Bonhoeffer’s theology and his biography, as well as various interpretations of his contemporary significance.
