    Bonhoeffer, a four-session video-based small group Bible study, New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas will help you discover 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. Pulling themes from all Bonhoeffer's major books, Metaxas helps you understand why these spiritual truths meant so much to Bonhoeffer and how they can be an inspiration and challenge to your faith.

    I think I've said this before...
    You are quite critical of those that have opposing theological views.

    When looking at historical figures we best look at them through the lens of time.

    We forgive (look past) their weaknesses and emphasize their strengths (what we can learn from them)

    (1) They are not here to defend themselves
    (2) We haven't walked in their shoes.​

    Bonhoeffer exemplified Faith and Action: We can be challenged to live out our faith better by knowing about him and reading his works.

    We don't need to follow the beliefs of his denomination (Lutherian) and we don't need to consider his eschatological views, although knowing both help us to better understand his thoughts and actions and his personal ethics.

    He was all over the place theologically and you probably don't want to use him to learn correct theology. But every Christian should definitely read his chapter on "Cheap Grace" from his book. In addition, his thoughts as he moved from a pacifist to being involved in an assassination attempt on Hitler are good reading for all of us living in modern times as we watch civilization disintegrate.

    I looked past the messenger and learned something from the message.
    (so I changed it to an "Informative")

    ...and I still think learning about Bonhoeffer is worthwhile.

    As a Lutheran he embraced the doctrine of baptismal regeneration, just as NT Wright (one of the great theologians of our time) does also.

    I would never use "great theologian" and NT Wright in the same sentence! He is a VERY DANGEROUS man!
