Bonhoeffer's Theological Legacy and Pragmatism

This chapter examines Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theological insights, particularly his views on Scripture's inerrancy and the implications of rejecting these beliefs within Christianity. It highlights the transformation of a figure shaped by both American evangelicalism and the dangers of the Third Reich, as well as exploring the ethical complexities of pragmatism and its impact on moral decision-making. The discussion prompts reflections on the relationship between means and ends, considering how actions are judged based on effectiveness rather than inherent morality.
