As the North American church struggles to navigate the emerging
post-Christian context, Theodore J. Hopkins argues that the church
is identified by three fundamental relationships:
Christ-church-world. By attending to the Christological center of
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology, Hopkins establishes a framework for
the church's mission in the world that flows from Christ's
relationship to the church and his relationship to the world. This
Christological framework also illuminates the changing relationship
between the church and the world in Bonhoeffer's works, such that
Discipleship seems to demarcate the church from the world while
Ethics seems to unite church and world in one Christ-reality.
Following Bonhoeffer, Hopkins contends that the church is both
distinct from the world and in solidarity with it in the dynamic of
the crucified Lord Jesus who took the form of a servant and is
present in Word, Sacrament, and community as the Risen One. Hopkins
envisions the church within the story of Jesus so that preaching
and teaching the Gospel identifies the church and calls it to
faithfulness in Christ's own mission. The church is formed to see
itself and the world in Jesus and enabled to follow Christ's
mission of witness and service in the world.
