Bonhoeffer's Theological Formation

by Michael P. DeJonge
Paperback |English |019882713X | 9780198827139
Overview
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's dramatic biography, a son of privilege who suffered imprisonment and execution after involving himself in a conspiracy to kill Hitler and overthrow the Third Reich, has helped make him one of the most influential Christian figures of the twentieth century. But before hewas known as a martyr or a hero, he was a student and teacher of theology. This book examines the academic formation of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology, arguing that the young Bonhoeffer reinterpreted for a modern intellectual context the Lutheran understanding of the 'person' of Jesus Christ. Inthe process, Bonhoeffer not only distinguished himself from both Karl Barth and Karl Holl, whose dialectical theology and Luther interpretation respectively were two of the most important post-World War I theological movements, but also established the basic character of his own 'person-theology.' Barth convinces Bonhoeffer that theology must understand revelation as originating outside the human self in God's freedom. But whereas Barth understands revelation as the act of an eternal divine subject, Bonhoeffer treats revelation as the act and being of the historical person of Jesus Christ. Onthe basis of this person-concept of revelation, Bonhoeffer rejects Barth's dialectical thought, designed to respect the distinction between God and world, for a hermeneutical way of thinking that begins with the reconciliation of God and world in the person of Christ. Here Bonhoeffer mines aLutheran understanding of the incarnation as God's unreserved entry into history, and the person of Christ as the resulting historical reconciliation of opposites. This also distinguishes Bonhoeffer's Lutheranism from that of Karl Holl, one of Bonhoeffer's teachers in Berlin, whose location ofjustification in the conscience renders the presence of Christ superfluous. Against this, Bonhoeffer emphasizes the present person of Christ as the precondition of justification. Through these critical conversations, Bonhoeffer develops the features of his person-theology --- a person-concept ofrevelation and a hermeneutical way of thinking --- which remain constant despite the sometimes radical changes in his thought.

Editorial Reviews



. . . a welcome examination of Bonhoeffer's habilitation thesis, Act and Being. Before this slim volume was published in 2012, no thorough reading and interpretation of this piece of Bonhoeffer's oeuvre had appeared . . . a volume tackling Act and Being has therefore been much needed, and Dejonge

successfully makes his case about why this is so.--Preston D. S. Parsons,
Anglican Theological Review


This relatively short addition to the ever-expanding literature on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's legacy is amongst the best. Not only is it an excellent account of Bonhoeffer's theological relationship with Karl Barth and of his own critical interpretation of the Lutheran confessional tradition of which he

was so much a part, but it also locates him so well within 20th century Protestant theology . . . DeJonge's finely balanced and well-written discussion of these issues makes them within the reach of anyone keen to understand Bonhoeffer's contribution to resolving them, and so to understanding his

theological legacy.--John W. de Gruchy,
Journal of Theology for Southern Africa


An insightful and compelling reading of Dietrich Bonhoeffer s early theology...
Bonhoeffer s Theological Formation is one of the best books that has been written on Bonhoeffer s theology. It makes a significant contribution to scholarly literature and is likely to be at the centre of debates about

Bonhoeffer s early theology for quite some time. It should be read carefully by all those with interests in Bonhoeffer, Barth, Lutheran theology andmodern theology more broadly.--
Scottish Journal of Theology


This is a significant and insightful reading of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theological development...the book deserves careful study by those interested in assessing Bonhoeffer's theology and its viability in the ongoing theological tasks.--
Logia


This is a welcome and profound monograph in Bonhoeffer studies because it addresses an oft-neglected, yet very important, piece of Bonhoeffer's theological legacy... While perhaps requiring a seat belt, journeying with DeJonge in this book, like
Act and Being itself, is worth every ounce of energy

and courage. --
Lutheran Quarterly



Overall, Dejonge's impressive survey succeeds in showing how Bonhoeffer's theology of discipleship - and ultimately of martyrdom - was rooted in an understanding of the person of Jesus Christ that he developed early in his career.--
The Journal of Ecclesiastical History


In
Bonhoeffers Theological Formation, Michael DeJonge presents students of Bonhoeffer with a crucial resource. Those familiar with Bonhoeffers theology will appreciate the discipline and the clarity with which DeJonge engages Bonhoeffers
Habilitationschrift, Act and Being ... Few secondary

resources on Bonhoeffer offer as much as does DeJonge's
Bonhoeffers Theological Formation.--
Regent's Review


DeJonge helps us to see how Bonhoeffer went beyond Barths early theology and, in showing this, also clarifies how Bonhoeffer was able to articulate a theological ethic with deep resonances with Barth while moving beyond him in specific ways.--
Studies in Christian Ethics


This is an excellent contribution to Bonhoeffer studies... DeJonge does a superb job of clearly presenting complex ideas in their historical and theological contexts. All those interested in the theology of Bonhoeffer, as well as the relationship between the theologies of Bonhoeffer and Barth will

want to spend some time with this book.--
Reviews in Religion & Theology


Michael P. DeJonge has offered an insightful and exciting study focussed on Bonhoeffer's second dissertation in view of Systematic Theology in historical perspective. The clarity and precision with which DeJonge engages in his theological argument is matched by a keen awareness that any systematic

claim has to ground itself in a clear understanding of its historical situation and critical reflection of its methodology a highly commendable text.--
Literature and Theology


This patient investigation of Bonhoeffers early work is welcome, not least because it forces us to rethink Barths early work afresh.--
Journal of Theological Studies


This book will help readers understand Bonhoeffer's early theological thinking and formation, and ways that that thinking was carried into his later works such as
Discipleship and his unfinished Ethics. Students of Bonhoeffer will find this an important contribution to understanding the influences

that inform both his early and later works.--
Religious Studies Review


DeJonge has convincingly sketched the basi contours of the debate that animate Bonhoeffer's early theological development as a student and later lecturer at the University of Berlin.
Calvin Theological Journal


Dejonge presents a first-class interpretation of Dietricht Bonhoeffer's complex thesis
Act and Being.--
European Journal of Theology


DeJonge's exposition of Bonhoeffer is clear and compelling. It is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand Act and Being better.--The Center for Barth Studies
