‘We should have so much love for this contemporary world of ours, for our fellow human beings, that we should declare our solidarity with it in its crisis and hope’ (DBWE 10:326).
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) wrote much of his theology during a time of intense upheaval and crisis. He developed his rich contributions to theology and ethics in the context of National Socialism and during the Second World War.
The world is again in a state of crisis and upheaval. How can engaging Bonhoeffer help with understanding and negotiating some of the many challenges that we are facing today?
In particular:
The Bonhoeffer Congress in Sydney, Australia, welcomes scholars, students, Christians, and activists who are committed to addressing these and other challenges, as well as all those interested in Bonhoeffer’s theology and its reception.
