de Gruchy argues that Ethics evinces more nuance than Bonhoeffer's earlier writings. In The Cambridge Companion to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John W. Ethics is commonly compared to Bonhoeffer's earlier book The Cost of Discipleship, with scholars debating the extent to which Bonhoeffer's views on Christian ethics changed between his writing of the two books. The arguments in the book are informed by Lutheran Christology and are influenced by Bonhoeffer's participation in the German resistance to Nazism.
The central theme of Ethics is Christlikeness. At the time of writing, he was a double agent he was working for Abwehr, Nazi Germany's military intelligence organization, but was simultaneously involved in the 20 July plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Bonhoeffer worked on the book in the early 1940s and intended it to be his magnum opus. Ethics ( German: Ethik) is an unfinished book by Dietrich Bonhoeffer that was edited and published after his death by Eberhard Bethge in 1949.
