Compare And Contrast Bonhoeffer And Bormann

Bonhoeffer, Palmer, and Borgmann have similarities in the way each author approaches ethics. Both Bonhoeffer and Palmer approach ethics as an individual choice and Borgmann approaches ethics from a stand of an entire country.
Bonhoeffer (1995) approaches ethics by making Christ the center piece of what he considers good. However, he realizes that people are divided when it comes to what is good. Clearly each of us have the ability to be ethical, but at times we may stumble and allow the dark side win. As Bonhoeffer describes success raises itself above ethics because “success heals the wounds of guilt” (Bonhoeffer, 1995, p.77). Even though Christ is our center we may take for granted his sacrifice for us and ration that we will be forgiven
