Welcome to "The Rise of Bonhoeffer"

Join Dr. Jeffrey Pugh and Dr. Tripp Fuller as they kick off an open online class on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's complex life, thought, and faith. In this conversation, we will be kicking off the class and tackling questions gemerated by the first episode of the audio documentary series - the Rise of Bonhoeffer.

In episode one, the story flashes forward to a powerful juxtaposition: on February 1, 1933, two days after Hitler became Chancellor, both men addressed Germany. Hitler promised to restore national pride, while Bonhoeffer warned against creating an idol out of a leader. How did Bonhoeffer come to see the Nazi threat while so many others didn't? This episode begins the story by turning to his early life, his burgeoning critiques of National Socialism, and how his family, education, and travels deeply influenced his evolving theology. Discover how Bonhoeffer's early liberal theological perspectives, grappling with German nationalism, eventually led him to challenge authoritarianism and develop a profound ethical and theological stance against the Nazi regime.
