Bonhoeffer Speaks Today

May 22–23, 2008 - comment

He was admired as a brilliant thinker, but World War II put his theology to the test. Would Dietrich Bonhoeffer follow Jesus at all costs?

Today we’re happy to welcome Mark Devine to the program. Mark is a professor of Christian theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, so it’s no surprise that he has a great interest in Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

It’s not a name that a lot of us recognize, but his life and his writings continue to inspire evangelicals around the world. Bonhoeffer was one of the few religious leaders who openly opposed Hitler’s Nazi regime. And today we’re going to see how this man’s story can speak to us all as we follow Christ.
