In his essay Aristocratic Christendom: On Bonhoeffer and Nietzsche, Frits de Lange writes this: "Bonhoeffer tries to develop a theology that integrates the heart of Nietzsche's critique of religion--a Christianity that might respond to the call of Zarathustra: 'I beseech you, my brothers, remain faithful to the earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of otherworldly hopes!' A dignified faith, which does not try to force its way through the backdoor of human weakness, but knocks properly at the front door and stays courteous, even when it might not be shown in." How does this connect with Bonhoeffer's desire to hold the biblical themes of blessing and cross together? That's what this episode will explore!
