Identity, Individuality and Community: Belief and Belonging in the Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

基督教团契和个人灵性的形成是基本关注的问题，因为全球教会面临着世俗化、政治动荡和教会分裂的挑战，这些挑战存在于他们自己持续的分歧中。邦霍费尔关于基督徒个人和教会社区之间关系的独特神学解决了这种现代关切。这篇论文将深入探讨邦霍费尔对基督教社区本质的有影响力的理解，这一观点是在国际普世主义的早期形成的，并在他对激进的世俗主义的后来的挑衅性反思中达到顶峰。这项研究还将为邦霍费尔的一生工作提供新的关键视角，作为他的神学的一种修正。

Christian fellowship and individual spiritual formation are matters of fundamental concern, as churches globally confront challenges of secularisation, political turmoil and ecclesial fragmentation amidst their own on-going divisions. Bonhoeffer's distinctive theology of the relationship between Christian individuals and the community of the Church addresses such modern concerns. This thesis will closely explore Bonhoeffer's influential understanding of the nature of Christian community, a vision forged during early years of international ecumenicalism and culminating in his provocative later reflections of radically worldy 'religionless Christianity'. The research will also yield new crucial perspectives on Bonhoeffer's lifework as an emodimentof his theology.
