Bonhoeffer’s Religionless Christianity in Its Christological Context
«Peter Hooton’s excellent book constitutes a significant contribution to the growing corpus of Bonhoeffer scholarship. It forensically probes the central notion of “religionless Christianity”— forensic in the sense of leaving no stone unturned but also in its search for answers, especially to the big questions, ‘What is left once Christianity is unburdened by religion?’ ‘What is left for the believer?’ ‘What is left for the world come of age?’ Finding answers to these Bonhoeffer-implied questions seems more urgent today than ever. Peter Hooton’s work takes us just a little closer.»

The German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer understood Western civilization to be “approaching a completely religionless age” to which Christians must respond and adapt. This book explores Bonhoeffer’s own response to this challenge—his concept of a religionless Christianity—and its place in his broader theology. Les mer
