Dietrich Bonhoeffer's work has persistently challenged Christian
consciousness due to both his death at the hands of the Nazis and
his provocative prison musings about Christian faithfulness in late
modernity. Although understandable given the popularity of both
narrative trajectories, such selective focus obscures the depth and
fecundity of his overall corpus. Bonhoeffer's early work, and
particularly his Christocentric anthropology, grounds his later
expressed commitments to responsibility and faithfulness in a
"world come of age." While much debate accompanies claims regarding
the continuity of Bonhoeffer's thought, there are central motifs
which pervade his work from his doctoral dissertation to the prison
writings. This book suggests that a concern for otherness permeates
all of Bonhoeffer's work. Furthermore, Clark Elliston articulates;
drawing on Bonhoeffer, a Christian self-defined by its orientation
towards otherness. Taking Bonhoeffer as both the origin and point
of return, the text engages Emmanuel Levinas and Simone Weil as
dialogue partners who likewise stress the role of the other for
self-understanding, albeit in diverse ways.
