De liefde van Christus dringt ons - missionaire ecclesiologie bij Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Abstract

This article focuses on Bonhoeffer's thoughts on the missionary presence of the church in the world. In the discussion two books by Bonhoeffer are mainly referred to: his Nachfolge (1937) and his Ethik (1943). Although features in his theological thinking remind us of a universalism like that of Karl Barth, the biblical content of his writings is of such quality that we are compelled to take him very seriously.
