This essay explores the notion of temporality in Bonhoeffer’s thought. After anintroductory reference to an early text of Bonhoeffer that reveals his passion formovement and the moment, the essay comments briefly on the direction ofEmmanuel Levinas’s reflections on temporality. It is argued that both Levinas andBonhoeffer link their understanding of temporality to otherness and death. The mainpart of the essay traces Bonhoeffer’s understanding of the timeful nature of reality,with special reference to his Berlin dissertations, Sanctorum Communio and Actand Being, two of his Barcelona sermons, his Ethics and his Prison writings. Thelast section of the essay offers Bonhoeffer’s timeful engagement with life as achallenge to a reductive economization of time.
