While in prison during the Third Reich, Dietrich Bonhoeffer raised
several “core questions” in his correspondence with his close
friend Eberhard Bethge: How shall future generations live? Who is
Jesus Christ actually, for us, today? What does it mean to be truly
human? And who am I? In Bonhoeffer’s Questions, John W. de Gruchy
explores the development of each question in the course of
Bonhoeffer’s life, how he attempted to answer them, and how each
prompted further questions in an ongoing conversation with himself,
with others, and now with us today. De Gruchy does this within the
framework of his own life-long and life-changing conversation with
Bonhoeffer in the context of South Africa from the beginning of the
apartheid era to the present day. He also describes how he has come
to know Bonhoeffer as a theological witness to Christ, a prophet of
God’s justice, and a Christian humanist before proceeding with a
series of questions addressed to Bonhoeffer with the reader in
mind. These range from the debate about God and the future of
Christianity to the involvement of Christians and the church in
political struggles today.
