In this lecture, Bonhoeffer tipped one sacred cow after the other. Having dealt with the idea of Christ as no mere ethicist, he proceeded to explain the similarity of the Christian religion to other religions. Then he came to his main point: the essence of Christianity is not about religion at all, but about the person of Christ…religion was a dead, man-made thing, and at the heart of Christianity was something else entirely - God himself, alive.
