Jacob Phillips presents a critical study of a neglected aspect of
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology: his writing on human subjectivity,
self-reflection, and individual identity 'in Christ'. In response
to the rise of chronic self-representation through digital
technology, Phillips argues that Bonhoeffer presents a radical
challenge, maintaining that - from the perspective of Christian
theology - there is something deeply negative about beholding
representations of oneself. Bonhoeffer instead holds that
discipleship means adopting a posture of radical agnosticism toward
one's own identity. Phillips focuses on the interrelation of
'simplicity' and 'reflection' in theological cognition and ethical
deliberation, showing a wider significance in contemporary
theological anthropology, soteriology and ethics. By following the
tradition of reading Bonhoeffer in relation to the philosophical
sources, such as Wustenberg , Janz, Whitson-Floyd, Marsh,
Zimmermann, Gregor, Phillips highlights the ways in which
Bonhoeffer's work relates to modern debates in epistemology and
ethics generally, and that of Wilhelm Dilthey and hermeneutical
phenomenology in particular. This volume offers a detailed
theological analysis of the themes of self-identity, human
subjectivity, and self-understanding, which are highly pertinent
for contemporary society.
