| Summary: | Recently Bonhoeffe's reputation, which was held high in the ranks of the ecumenical movement immediately after 1945, has suffered a decline, particularly in Germany, because of his alleged attitudes towards the persecution of the Jews. Shortly before his death on 19 March 2000, Bonhoeffer's friend and biographer, Eberhard Bethge, asked me to undertake the task of answering these charges. I have sought to establish the following points: 1) the part Judaism played in Bonhoeffer's life and thought; 2) the causal relationship between National Socialist policy and the destruction of European Jewry; 3) the correction of a series of misunderstandings and inaccurate contentions; 4) the categorical distinction between the 'eliminationist' racial antisemitism of the Nazis, and the kind of anti-Judaism which can be traced back to the New Testament; 5) the evidence for the beginnings of a new understanding in Christian-Jewish relations. |
