God in the Real

The Way 44/3 (July 2005), God in the Real

The articles in this issue of The Way can, each in their own way, be seen as continuing Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s vision of God coming into our bleak, unfinished reality, filling us with strength and power until the life of God-with-us becomes all in all. They explore God’s action in human lives beyond the conventionally religious sphere. Bonhoeffer’s vision is expressed with a prophetic passion and an intellectual power that are unique. But in different ways, each of these articles explores the agenda he indicated so powerfully, an agenda which should be the permanent concern of any journal of Christian spirituality. The path towards God, God who is always God-with-us, is also the path through the unfinished business of our culture. A God graciously present in all things is always leading us beyond religious convention, always drawing us into the unfamiliar grace of our ‘this-worldliness’.
