Bonhoeffer's concept of the weakness of God and religionless Christianity in a world come of age

Abstract

Cette étude axée sur l'héritage de Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) examine trois questions : (1) la « faiblesse de Dieu », étroitement reliée au "scandale de la croix" ; (2) le christianisme libéré du concept religieux ; (3) le « monde parvenu à maturité » et sa pertinence pour le croyant et pour le non-croyant. Une critique éclairée de la religion ne signifie pas qu'il faille joindre le mouvement dit de la « mort de Dieu », et l'actuelle pauvreté de l'église visible n'annonce en rien la fin de la foi chrétienne. La conclusion exprime l'espoir qu'un monde modelé sur l'enseignement de Jésus pendant deux millénaires trouvera les réponses fondamentales dont il a besoin dans un christianisme renouvelé.

This study focuses on three basic issues raised in the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945): (1) The "weakness of God," which goes hand in hand with the "scandal of the cross"; (2) Freeing Christianity from the concept of religion; (3) The "world come of age": its relevance for believers and non-believers alike. An enlightened critique of religion in no way equates joining the 'death of God' school; and the current demise of the visible church does not herald the downfall of Christian faith. The conclusion expresses the firm hope that a world shaped by two thousand years of Jesus' influence will find the basic orientation it needs for a renewed Christianity.
