Bonhoffer: Sacrifice and Suffering

Bonhoeffer adopts a “theology of crisis”. The paradox is that the world is in a crisis that God judges BUT that God sends his Son to redeem that world from the crisis. Bonhoeffer saw that this “costly grace” would probably lead to his death. He did not, however, seek martyrdom or suffering. He affirmed the Christian life and continued to stand against the evil around him. Bonhoeffer focused on his ACTION in resistance to Nazi wickedness.
