Note: The following reflections on the predicament of the Christian Church in the modern world have been taken from the collection of letters which Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote during his emprisonment and which have been published under the title Widerstand und Ergebung (see Book Reviews). Bonhoeffer intended to develop this theme further and to indicate what consequences the Church should draw from this new situation. But after the events of July 20, 1944, he was brought first to the Prinz Albrechtstrasse, and then to various concentration‐camps, until the end came on April 9, 1944. Thus his task was accomplished when he had raised this fundamental question addressed to the whole Christian Church.
