Dietrich Bonhoeffer – the Realism of Preaching. Milestones for an Orthodox Preacher’s Proclaiming Culture

Dietrich Bonhoeffer – the Realism of Preaching1. Milestones for an Orthodox Preacher’s Proclaiming Culture An Introduction Constantin Necula* This paper aims to successively present approaches to German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s thinking in the Romanian research area and to retain a series of milestones of his ample theological vision that could be relevant to the culture of an Orthodox preacher. I believe that the example of Bonhoeffer’s life and work are positive challenging models for the pastoral Orthodox thinking, due to his homiletic vision of life, somehow comparable with the vision of some theologians, who gave good Christian testimony during the difficult times of Romanian and European history.

Two Martyrs in a Godless World

It is in some way providential that this wonderful book comes to an English-speaking readership at this junction of history, bringing with it the prophetic vision of two great martyrs of the 20th century: Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Alexander Men. Michel Evdokimov (himself an accomplished and audacious contemporary theologian) has brought together the witness of these two theologians, in an inspiring ecumenical interchange. Despite belonging to different Christian traditions, despite speaking from anguished contexts of persecution, tyranny and death, Bonhoeffer and Men bring a message of hope and optimism to the secular world…Now, when the world seems to be faced again with increasing division, nationalist excesses and a morbid fascination for authoritarian regimes, the message of the two theologians serves as reassurance that, despite appearances, now is not the time for mourning or resignation, but for engagement in faith with the world as it is, where we meet God in our everyday lives in the form of our neighbor.
