In a previous article in this journal, which was entitled "The Kingdom and the State," we explored the possibility of formulating a biblicaltheological view of the state. In a sense that article could as well have appeared under the same title as is found above the present one, for in our enquiry we found ourselves continuously and inescapably involved in the question of the relationship between the church and the state. This is hardly surprising in view of the fact that; when one looks at things from the perspective of the Christian revelation, one will inevitably be confronted with the reality of the church in all her particularity. This is how it is in the Christian religion, where the church is not regarded as finding her origin in man-in other words, is not regarded as an association of religiously minded people - but as the body of Christ, instituted by him and preserved through the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit. In short, the particularity of the church is given with the particularity of the revelation; from the Christian point of view religion and church belong together. Consequently, the perennial question of religion and politics has manifested itself in Western culture during the past nineteen hundred years mainly in the form of the problem of the relationship between the church and the state.

This article traces the German church struggle form 1933 to 1945 with particular emphasis on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's role. Although Bonhoeffer's status in the world today is that of a great theologian and courageous opponent of the Nazi regime, he did not have much of an impact on the direction of the Confessing Church during the church struggle. Bonhoeffer's striking albeit marginal role in the German church struggle and his inability to affect significantly the direction of the Confessing Church was due to many factors, including his young age, his liberal-democratic politics, his absence from Germany from October 1933 to April 1935, his vacillating and at times contradictory positions on central issues, his radical theological critique of the Nazi state, his friendship with and family ties to Christians of Jewish descent, and ultimately his willingness to risk his life to destroy Hitler's regime.
