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 nine - As science and secularism continue to make people content to live their daily lives without any reference to God, Christian theologians have been trying to find space for God in things beyond people's lives, or in trying to create angst about sin and death in order to provide a cure for. But Bonhoeffer notes that these "emergency exits" have failed to make inroads, and dishonest to the Gospel. By Pastor Lars Hammar

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.
