Listen "Bonhoeffer’s Journey to a Concrete Theology: A Conversation with Dr. Charles Marsh (Part 2)"
Episode Synopsis
In this second part of our conversation with Dr. Charles Marsh, we dive deeper into the moments that shaped Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s vocation as a pastor theologian. From Harlem to Rome to a Benedictine monastery in Bavaria, we explore how Bonhoeffer’s encounters with global Christianity—and especially the Black Church in America—inspired his vision of a concrete, lived theology. Dr. Marsh reflects on Bonhoeffer’s hunger for an embodied faith, his provocative claims about the Confessing Church, and why joy and suffering became central to his discipleship. We also ask: what might Bonhoeffer offer the Church today?
