Bonhoeffer for Today? Things to learn—and maybe not learn—from his political writings

During complicated political times, few theologians get weaponized more fiercely or misread more easily than Dietrich Bonhoeffer. But who was Bonhoeffer? What did he say and do? And how might we interpret him thoughtfully, accurately, and usefully for our present political moment?

This symposium draws together an international group of scholars to address these and other questions. Join us for workshops, a keynote lecture with Lori Brandt Hale, a screening of the Journey Films movie Bonhoeffer, and a panel discussion exploring the legacy and current relevance of this compelling figure at the intersection of faith and politics.

Join an international group of scholars, including Juliana Claassens, W. David Hall, Jennifer McBride, Robert Vosloo, Tim Hartman, and Mark Douglas, to address these and other questions during our one-day symposium, exploring the legacy of this compelling and enigmatic faith leader.
