Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German Lutheran pastor, theologian, and anti-Nazi dissident, was a key founding member of the Confessing Church. His writings on Christianity’s role in the secular world have had a significant impact, particularly his book “The Cost of Discipleship,” which is considered a modern classic. Bonhoeffer vehemently opposed the Nazi dictatorship, speaking out against Hitler’s euthanasia program and persecution of Jews. His resistance led to his arrest by the Gestapo and imprisonment in Tegel Prison and later Flossenbürg concentration camp. Accused of involvement in a plot to assassinate Hitler, he was executed during the collapse of the Nazi regime.
