can I find God of the gaps
among summer stars?
World Kigo Database (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
Note: As a founding member of the Confessing Church that opposed the ideology of the Nazi regime in its entirety, Dietrich Bonhoeffer not only talked the talk, but also walked the walk.
In 1933 lecture, “The Church and the Jewish Question,” he spoken about the possibility that the church, “not just bandage the victims under the wheel, but rather break the spokes of the wheel itself.”
He was jailed in April 1943 for plotting to kill Hitler, and was subsequently hanged in April 1945, 23 days before the Nazis' surrender.
Bonhoeffer's life as a pastor and theologian who lived as he preached has influenced Christians of different denominations and generations, and his view of God of the gaps, one that sees God as existing in the gaps or aspects of reality, has evoked the heated debates among Christian theologians and scholars in sociology of religion.
