Lenten Sermon Series: Obedience and the Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German pastor and theologian who lived in the early part of the twentieth century, reaching adulthood right about the same time as Adolf Hitler rose to power in Nazi Germany.  Bonhoeffer's growing concern over what he saw as violations to basic human rights led him to actively participate in resistance efforts against Hitler-efforts which ultimately led to his arrest and execution in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945.

 

Before he was martyred, though, Bonhoeffer produced an extraordinary body of work, much of which explored the fundamental issue of what, exactly, it means to follow Jesus in an upside-down world that often isn't very Christian in the way it lives life.  Bonhoeffer concluded that the key to being a Christian was simple-all you had to do was be obedient to Christ.  All you had to do was consider what the will of God was in any given situation, and then act accordingly.

 

During Lent, Trinity explored the concept of obedience by delving into the theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, as set forth in his landmark book, The Cost of Discipleship – an understanding he developed as a result of prayerfully examining Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, which Bonhoeffer believed gives us everything we need to know to live a truly Christian life.
