Abstract
In his 'Ethics' Bonhoeffer discusses dilemmas such as that between "fundamentalism" and "secularism" by criticizing both options as separating in principle what belong together in reality, that is, in the person of Christ. He then develops his own ethical positions on the basis of this Christ-reality. He had already developed a precedent to this form of arguing in 'Act and Being,' where he designed his theology from a personal concept of revelation, arguing that the competing act- and being-concepts of revelation reflect only part of the revelation disclosed in Jesus Christ. In both texts, in 'Act and Being' as in 'Ethics,' the person of Jesus Christ as the reality of the reconciliation of God and world forms the foundation of Bonhoeffer's critical and constructive arguments.
