In the late 1930's and early 1940's, there was very little opposition from the German church against Hitler and the rise of Nazism. Going against the tide, Deitrich Bonhoeffer preached it was not enough to follow Christ by preaching and praying. He unapologetically called for Christian action and, if need be, self-sacrifice in order to stop the atrocities against the Jews. Believing that Christian self-righteousness and complacency set the stage for the rise of Nazism, Bonhoeffer died trying to right the wrongs. In this episode, Kathy and Gary discuss the state of the Christian church in Nazi Germany, Bonhoeffer's willingness to stand up to the church's apathy, and the consequences of anti-Judaism in Christian theology.
