How does the work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer help us think ethically about Christian Nationalism? What is the task for a public theologian given the rise of fascist religion? In this conversation, my co-host Dr. Jeff Pugh and I are joined by Dr. Lori Brandt Hale to discuss her work on Bonhoeffer and its application to the political moment. This was one of the live stream sessions from the online class Bonhoeffer and the Future of Faith. To access Dr. Hale and all the other contributors amazing lectures head over here. These live streams were inspired by the contributors address, their reading selection from Bonhoeffer, and class member questions. Lori Brandt Hale is professor and chair of the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Augsburg University in Minneapolis, MN. She is the Vice President of the International Bonhoeffer Society  English Language Section and a Westar Institute Scholar. Brandt Hale is co-editor of and contributor to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Theology, and Political Resistance (June 2020), the second volume in a new series on faith and political theology by Lexington Books. Her chapter in this book, a constructive read of Bonhoeffers work, is titled, The Interfaith Imperative: How Bonhoeffer Compels Interfaith Action. She is also the co-author of Bonhoeffer for Armchair Theologians (Westminster John Knox, 2009). She has written numerous articles and book chapters on Bonhoeffers political resistance, understanding of vocation, and relevance in contemporary times – including the now perennial question, Is this a Bonhoeffer moment?   Follow the podcast, drop a review, or become a member of the HBC Community.
