Standing Firm: Bonhoeffer's Urgent Wisdom for Our Dangerous Times
🍺 Bonhoeffer for Dangerous Times | Theology Beer Camp 2025 Preview
Are we living in the most dangerous times of our lives? Renowned Bonhoeffer scholar Jeffrey C. Pugh doesn't pull punches in this powerful preview lecture for Theology Beer Camp 2025. Drawing from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's prison writings, especially "After Ten Years," Pugh explores why the German theologian's wisdom is more urgent than ever for Christians navigating today's political and social chaos.
