![]() ![]() This dissertation examines the exact nature of this openness. When considering the relationship between Lutheranism and Rome in the first part of the twentieth Century, Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s engagement with Catholicism appears striking: though at times Bonhoeffer offers standard Lutheran critiques of elements of Catholic theology and ecclesiology, we see in him an openness to Catholicism, especially in its practice, liturgy and spiritual exercises. What is also often, albeit briefly, highlighted in theological studies and biographical works on Bonhoeffer is his encounter and engagement with Roman Catholicism. There is a growing interest within Bonhoeffer scholarship in the reception of his life and theology, from the appropriation of Bonhoeffer as a forerunner of death-of-God theologies to constructions of the Lutheran theologian as a conservative evangelical in the American mould. ![]()
