Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German Lutheran pastor and theologian who resisted Nazi tyranny during World War II. He was hanged in a Nazi prison camp for his actions and beliefs. Before his death he was an influential Christian voice writing and teaching and speaking out for justice and love for God’s people. His views of love and forgiveness that comes from God and is to be lived out toward neighbors clashed with the policies of the Nazi party.
This four-session series will use videos by New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas to lead us into discussion and discovery. The series will explore the major themes of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s writing and speaking and how he not only helped transform an entire faith community in Germany during World War II, but how his beliefs continue to impact the Christian faith of people throughout the world today. This series will help us understand why these spiritual truths meant so much to Bonhoeffer and how they can be an inspiration and challenge to our faith.
