Bonhoeffer on Prayer

Samuel CHIOW

The emphasis on concreteness can be seen to pervade Bonhoeffer’s thought and action.

Bonhoeffer’s life exhibited the unity of prayer and righteous action; in his thought they are inextricably linked together, so much so that in certain situations they are virtually synonymous. Prayer, for Bonhoeffer, may be seen as an integral part of a concrete faith; thus, an examination of his theological thinking on prayer, both as lived out in his life and as formulated in his works, is significant for a clearer understanding of his theology as a whole.
