Part 11 - What is the difference between the Christian life and the pagan life? It isn't getting things from the gods, or turning to them for favors. It's that the Christian suffers with the God who grieves with us.

While in the Tegel Prison in Berlin awaiting trial for participating in a plot to kill Hitler, Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer began to contemplate a future for Christianity and the church in a world with science, secularism, and world wars. His idea were formulated in different letters to his pastor friend Eberhard Bethge and compiled with all his prison writings in Letters from Prison.
Part five - Bonhoeffer reflects on how the secular world no longer operates with God as part of the equation, and people no longer turn to the question of God when dealing with problems.

Part three - Bonhoeffer confronts directly one of the most common of Christian apologetics: the idea of God as the stop gap (or "god of the gaps" as atheists often call it). Instead of defending God's existence from the negative, and arguing that God exists *beyond* knowledge and experience, he argues we must move God back to the center of life.

Part two - a discussion about how one is to speak of God in non-religious terms, and how Bonhoeffer has become more hesitant to talk religious jargon with religious people, and how he finds God in the center of our world, not in the space beyond human knowledge.
