迪特里希.潘霍華的獄中書信與論文，窝作於他1943年4月被捕後至1945年4月被謀害的這段期間，後以《獄中書簡》為名出版。這些文章已吸引了世界上無數的讀者，並也深深地影響著他們。而這些文章呈現出一位激情殉道者以及一位思想深刻的神學家的基督教見證。十分清楚地，它們提供了許多振奮人心的洞見與挑戰世人的觀點。然而，它們是否也提供出一致性的神學遺產，使得未來的世代可從中汲取學習？本篇論文回答了此一問題。它證明了潘霍華發展了一種神學與末世論式的實在論，而可更進一步地闡明其「一種非宗教的基督宗教」與「受苦的上帝」這些複雜的神學概念。

Dietrich Bonhoeffer^ Letters and Papers from Prison, written between his arrest April, 1943 and his murder April, 1945, have been published under the title Wider stand and Ergebung (Resistance and Submission). They have attracted and deeply moved millions of readers throughout the world. They present a Christian witness of a passionate martyr and a deep thinking theologian. It is clear that they offer many inspiring insights and challenging ideas. However, do they also offer a consistent theological legacy from which future generations can consciously learn? The article answers this question. It shows that Bonhoeffer develops a theological and eschatological realism which can explain his complicated notions of a “non-religious Christianity” and the “suffering God”
