The Cross of Reality - H. Gaylon Barker - Bog

The Cross of Reality investigates Bonhoeffers interpretation and use of Luthers theology in shaping his Christology. In this essay, H. Gaylon Barker uses the theology of the cross as a key to understanding the characteristic elements that make up Bonhoeffers theology; he also shows how Bonhoeffers conversation with his teachers and contemporaries, Karl Holl and Karl Barth in particular, develops. Bonhoeffers thought was indeedradical and revolutionary, but it was so precisely because of its adherence to the classical traditions of the church, especially Luthers theologia crucis.
