“Theology and Influences”

Bonhoeffer’s theology is rooted in both the classical Lutheran tradition and his own modern interpretations of faith in action. This episode examines the primary influences that shaped Bonhoeffer’s thinking, from key theological figures to philosophical movements. We’ll look at how Bonhoeffer’s experiences abroad, his time studying and teaching, and his encounters with marginalized communities informed his belief in a ‘religionless Christianity’ and a faith deeply concerned with the needs of the world.
