"Everyone who acts responsibly becomes guilty" was a basic
premise that Dietrich Bonhoeffer expressed in various ways in his
theology and ethics. Even Bonhoeffer's own actions--in praying for
the defeat of his country in World War II and in participating in a
plot to assassinate Hitler--demonstrate the tension between the
reality of guilt and Bonhoeffer's ethical decisions.
In this study, Christine Schliesser examines the problem of
guilt in Bonhoeffer's writings, arguing that the concept of
accepting guilt emerges from Bonhoeffer's understanding of
Christology. Since Jesus Christ has accepted the guilt of
humankind, so the disciple must also be willing to accept guilt for
the sake of the other. In addition, Schliesser reveals the
unresolved tensions that emerge in the concept of accepting guilt
and discusses the extent to which Bonhoeffer's concept is still
relevant to Christian ethics today.
