They show how Bonhoeffer reworked the dangerously quietistic interpretations of the two kingdoms and orders of creation doctrines that dominated early twentieth-century neo-Lutheran ethics into a doctrine of divine mandates for marriage and family, work, government, and church. This quietistic sublime is even more thought provoking when contrasted with the idea of the older, "terrible" sublime, which has been reflexly connected to the vast wilderness of the American continent, especially in European minds. Not only is this view false - and especially so for the period of Malcolm's prominence - but it also reflects an idea of politics that is antidemocratic and quietistic. |
