O significativo ato de falar de Jesus Cristo hoje:uma contribuição de Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Abstract

Dietrich Bonhoeffer's story is of great relevance for bringing the life and writings of a martyr who serves as a living testimony of the Christian faith to other times. From this insight, the object of this study is Bonhoeffer's contribution to the act of speaking of Jesus today, meaning that time of World War II and the present day. This pastor's biography aggregates productions that emphasize Christ as the center. In this north, the main objective is to present Bonhoefferian thinking about Christology, the new theology, and the majority of the world. The specifics objetives are to show contexts of Bonhoeffer's life and work; demonstrate the characteristics of Christology and aspects of Christianity; understand his theology and the idea of adulthood and highlight the importance of his recognized legacy in the world. The justification comes from the interest of continuing what was studied during the theology course made by the researcher and of adding knowledge to the first formation in the area of medicine, which makes it possible to receive the Master of Religious Studies. The methodology is a qualitative bibliographic research, whose works in English were translated by the researcher, having as authors Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1966; 2009), James W. Woelfel (1970), Ralf K. Wüstenberg (1998), Wayne Whitson Floyd (Wayne Whitson Floyd Jr. (1999), Ernst Feil (2007), Sabine Dramm (2007), Larry L. Rasmussen (2009), Haynes and Hale (2009), Eberhard Bethge (2010), John W. de Gruchy (2010), Eduardo Delás Segura (2011), Michael P. DeJonge (2012). These are the main theorists that underlie the discussions, where the main question is what does it mean to speak of Jesus Christ today? This is the question that emerges in Bonhoeffer's speeches recorded at different times in his productions. The work is divided into three chapters, by which the importance of this research is evidenced. The thought of this martyr is revealed in the writings that recorded how he lived, highlighting the most difficult phases that have made him a witness to the Christian faith in all times
