Abstract

After ten years of life under Hitler, Dietrich Bonhoeffer writes that ‘the ultimately responsible question is how a coming generation is to go on living’. This article argues that the answer to this question is present in Bonhoeffer’s prison writings, letters, literary work and theological essays, and traces on how that answer directs his thought, and what it implies for the interpretation of his theological thinking during this period, including his letters on the ‘non-religious interpretation’ of the Gospel and the Christian tradition.
