Years ago, the rise of Nazism in Germany raised questions about the role of faith and freedom in a godless society. One pastor and theologian desperately sought answers ... and sacrificed his life in the process. His name was Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Created by Focus on the Family Radio Theatre, this outstanding dramatization presents the life of one of Christendoms greatest thinkers. As a young man, Dietrich Bonhoeffer felt a call to the ministry and determined to follow it no matter where it would lead. And it led him to places and situations that challenged every aspect of his faith, and demanded everything from him.
Wrestling with the absolute of truth, the infallibility of Scripture and the Third Reichs oppression of Jews and the German church, Bonhoeffer desired to remain loyal to his homeland yet refused to take part in its evil. Considered a threat by Hitler himself, Bonhoeffer was rejected by both his government and church and eventually arrested for treason.
So, how do you conquer the evils that pervade the popular culture? Is it possible to erase the hatred and prejudices that keep us divided and threaten our liberty? This story will challenge you to draw your own conclusion on these issues ... and will make you ponder on that question of what it means to be truly free.
