The German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer is one of the most widely read and well-known Christians of the 20th century. Nevertheless, few people understand his theology or the circumstances that determined his dramatic involvement in the German resistance against the Nazis during World War II.
A class, RELI 485 Bonhoeffer, offers an in-depth look at the life and thought of Bonhoeffer, focusing specifically on his major texts, The Cost of Discipleship and Ethics. This is an ideal course for philosophy and Christian ministries majors who are interested in integrating theology and ministry. It will be taught by Javier Garcia of the William Penn Honors Program and meets Wednesdays from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in PHS 102 (Pennington House).
Contact Paula Hampton (phampton@georgefox.edu) with any questions.
