On Being with Krista Tippett show

Summary: With Bonhoeffer documentarian Martin Doblmeier, we explore this 20th-century theologian who was executed for his complicity in a plot to assassinate Adolph Hitler. Bonhoeffer's example and his extant writings, including "Letters and Papers from Prison," continue to inspire with creative and challenging ideas about "religionless Christianity," the nature of ethics, and the "will of God" versus "tribal" religion.
