Abstract
Is Dietrich Bonhoeffer a »public theologian«? This question is part of the present discussion about Public Theology, which refers to Bonhoeffer for its central causes. Finding structural parallels in both structure and content between Bonhoeffer’s theology and Public Theology, this contribution determines that the references to Bonhoeffer by Public Theology are legitimate. It concludes with a plea for a christologically shaped Public Theology informed by Bonhoeffer.
