Оглавление“All faith systems have been at pains to show
that the ultimate cannot be expressed
in any theoretical system, however august,
because it lies beyond words and concepts.
But many people today are no longer
comfortable with this
apophatic reticence.”1

Bonhoeffer was convinced that Western
Christianity is “so soaked in
religious consciousness” that
the question of “what Christianity really is”
will find answers only after
years of intense theological struggle.2
