  • Summary

  • In this episode of 'The Rise of Bonhoeffer, ' we explore Dietrich Bonhoeffer's transition from London back to Germany, focusing on his time at the Finkenwalde seminary. This period is crucial as it shapes Bonhoeffer's most significant works like 'The Cost of Discipleship' and 'Life Together'. The discussion delves into his influences in London, his unfulfilled desire to study under Gandhi, and his visits to monastic communities. The conversation also highlights Bonhoeffer's struggle against the Nazi infiltration of the church, his emphasis on the Sermon on the Mount, and his commitment to forming an authentic Christian community as a means of resistance. The episode ends by addressing the challenges faced by Finkenwalde due to increasing Nazi oppression, leading to its eventual shutdown. Follow the Rise of Bonhoeffer podcast here.
