Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Simone Weil: A Study in Christian Responsiveness
(Diitorihhi Bonheffah to Shimohnu Beiyu: Ohtohse no Kenkyuu)
Vivienne Blackburn
The book is the first major study to bring together the two early twentieth-century theologians Dietrich Bonhoeffer, German Lutheran pastor, and Simone Weil, French philosopher and convert to Christianity. Both were victims of Nazi oppression, and neither survived the war. The book explores the two theologians’ reflections on Christian responsiveness to God and neighbor, being the interdependence of the two great commandments of the Jewish Law reiterated by Jesus. It sets out the common ground and the differing emphases in their interpretations. For Bonhoeffer, responsiveness was the transformation of the whole person effected by faith (Gestaltung), and the responsibility (Verantwortung) for one’s actions which it implies. For Weil, responsiveness was the hope and expectation of grace (attente) reflected in attention, the capacity to listen to, understand and help others. Both endeavored to articulate their responses, as Christians, to a world dominated by aggression and horrendous suffering. Distributed by Word of Life Press Ministries. A5 size, 360 pp.
