“…Following Balthasar's anthropology, Javier Prades 67 finds an intrinsic link between the individual and the socio-public communities in the inherent relationality of God with the human person and thus human persons with one another, including the socio-public communities. In a more Christological turn, Nissen 68 grounds engagement in public discourse in the Incarnation, Passion, and Resurrection of Christ that affirms worldly reality as a locus for Christian involvement. In another vein, David Hollenbach 69 draws on the distinction between state and public society as well as the differentiation (not separation) between religious and secular spheres to conclude that the public sphere is the place for direct religious influence.…”

In Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Ethics the notion of reality plays a central role. The present article focuses on the ethical implications of the Chalcedonian Christology underlying this concept. This approach is tied to the debate on the relationship between the universal and specific identity of Christian social ethics in public discourse. In the opening section the article outlines the pertinence of this debate with regard to Bonhoeffer's Christological ethic. In the following section the article analyzes Bonhoeffer's concept of reality and the implied Chalcedonian traits. With this foundation established the article raises the question about its social ethical implications. The final part of the article argues that Bonhoeffer's ethics and ecclesiology cannot be separated from each other, explaining why Bonhoeffer's notion of reality leads to an assertion of the church's role in letting reality become real. In the light of Bonhoeffer's notion of reality the last section argues for the reconciliation of Christian witness and participation in public discourse.
