Dietrich Bonhoeffer--For Groups","description":"

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian profoundly shaped by World War I's devastation and his brother's death, used his faith to resist Nazi tyranny and uphold Christian teachings. Executed in 1945 for his resistance efforts, his enduring legacy is reflected in influential works like The Cost of Discipleship and Ethics, which examine faith, responsibility, and the role of institutions in human flourishing.

Course leader Dallas Gringles recently served as the convener for the 21st Annual Bonhoeffer Lectures in Public Ethics.

Here's a preview of the first class:

For Groups

This course is designed for group study. We've formatted the material so that you can begin at the next step—then pause at the end of each video lecture and talk about what you've learned. Pick and choose the videos you want or proceed in the sequence we've designed —your call.

Included are two manuals you may find helpful: a Facilitator's Guide and a Participant's Guide. Both contain helpful material for your learning, including tips, prayers and discussion questions for each lecture. You may want to print these out and make copies before you proceed. You will notice that each video features a brief introduction, which the leader or someone else might want to read before each lecture.
