Wayfinding with Dietrich Bonhoeffer: The Conspiracy E4
The brutality of Adolf Hitler's Nazi ideology was unrelenting. As pastor, theologian, and vocal Nazi dissenter, Dietrich Bonhoeffer devoted many years to every possible means of peaceful resistance, but upon his return to Germany after a brief second sojourn in America, Bonhoeffer's energy shifted to the insider Conspiracy to remove Hitler. In this episode, Joe and Jonathan look behind the scenes of the conspiracy: what was it, who was involved, why did Bonhoeffer join, what was his role, how did this decision interact with his ethics, and how did things turn out?
