​

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian and key figure in the Confessing Church's resistance to Nazi rule, is best remembered for his profound theological writings and courageous opposition to Hitler. A proponent of ecumenism and a critic of the church's complacency, Bonhoeffer rejected "cheap grace" and emphasized a "worldly" Christianity committed to justice and human dignity. He was involved in a plot to assassinate Hitler, which led to his arrest and execution in 1945. His posthumous works, particularly Letters and Papers from Prison, explore a "secular" Christianity that focuses on God’s suffering in the world, influencing modern theological debates and movements for church reform.

​

This concert is part of a larger symposium about Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s life, writings and theology, which requires separate registration if you wish to attend.
