PRESENTED AT THE EVANGELISCHE AKADEMIE NORDELBIEN, HAMBURG, GERMANY, JUNE 17, 1987
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), an anti-Nazi German Lutheran pastor, remains a spiritual hero for many Christians. His personal opposition to Nazism, his imprisonment and execution has made Bonhoeffer an iconic figure.
Rabbi James Rudin analyzes Bonhoeffer’s beliefs and actions vis-à-vis Jews and Judaism during the horrific 1930s and 1940s. Finally, the rabbi explores whether Bonhoeffer would have become a significant leader in Christian-Jewish relations if his life had not been cut short by the Nazis.
