Theological Journal – October 9 Bonhoeffer for Today
From DB’s Ethics:
“The most astonishing
observation one makes today is that people surrender everything in the face of
nothingness: their own judgment, their humanity, their neighbors. Where this fear
is exploited without scruple, there are no limits to what can be achieved.”
We see this in Trump to the nth
degree.
“Only when Christian faith in
God is lost do people feel compelled to make use of all means—even criminal—to
force the victory of their cause.”
Sadly, we are seeing this to
today across the political spectrum.
“Total war uses every
conceivable means toward the end of national self-preservation. Everything is
right and permitted that serves the cause of one’s own people.”
Ditto! ☹
