Jerusalem and Athens? Jerusalem or Athens? : Also on the interpretation of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Publication at Protestant Theological Faculty |
2009

Abstract

The study on the problem of theological inclusiveness and exclusiveness compares the experience of D. Bonhoeffer in Germany before and after 1933 (Ethics: DBW 6, 342-353) with the Czech experience in Czechoslovakia before and after 1989.

The oppressed church in a period of persecution inclined to inclusiveness; the free church in a period of Liberalism to exclusiveness. Should the ignored church in a period of indifference set out again in the direction of inclusiveness and seek allies among those who reject the contemporary immanentism and are open for transcendence?
