Bonhoeffer for Troubled Times

The podcast posse at Crackers&Grape Juice has a new, timely online course slated for you this November, “Bonhoeffer for Troubled Times” with the irascible Dr. Jeffrey C. Pugh. This course will run the first four weeks of November 2020.

This course explores the roles, both good and bad, that Christianity played in one of the most horrific chapters of human history, the Shoah. Tracing the history of Christian anti-Semitism through two thousand years of history, this course shows how a majority of the church in Germany was prepared to support Hitler and embrace his call for racial purity. Drawing specifically on the German Church struggle between the "Deutsche Christen" and the Confessing Church, we explore why the church failed in the face of such a political onslaught, even though there were individuals, like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who paid a high price for their resistance.

The recordings of these sessions, along with the audio, will not be publically available after the course. You’ll need to register and/or become a patron on the podcast. PSST, patrons of the podcast can take the course for free.
