Hello, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1906 to 1945 was a Lutheran Theologian who stood up to Hitler

as he threatened to destroy the core of the German Church.

The Nazis imposed antisemitic rules on their approved Protestant Church,

disgusting Bonhoeffer, as at the very least,

this denied the durations of Jesus.

He helped set up a breakaway church to keep Christian values alive until the Nazis fell.

Bonhoeffer was executed for conspiring to kill Hitler, but not before setting up his ideas in writing.

And with these and his example, he became, according to at least one of my guests,

the most important Theologian of the 20th century.

When we do discuss the ideas and life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer,

I'll still implant Dean and Ronser Fellow at Trinity Hall at the University of Cambridge.

And in the Macloughlin, the Lecturer in Theologian Ethics at the University of Winchester

and Lecturer in Ethics at Regions Park College at the University of Oxford,

and Tom Gregg's Marshall Chair of Divinity at the University of Aberdeem.

So, even plant, what do we need to know about Bonhoeffer's childhood?

It was born in 1906 in Breslau, which then was in Silesia in eastern Germany,

which is now Rocklown, Poland.
