Helen asks…

Who is the original artist who painted the painting on Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book titled “Ethics”?

I’ve have looked and cannot find it anywhere you’re helping will be greatly appreciated.

Tough one. The only thing I could find was and artist named Emil Nolde (7 August 1867 – 13 April 1956). Do you have a link to the painting? Recent editions have a photo of the author on the front cover.

Robert asks…

Christians: Was Dietrich Bonhoeffer justified in trying to kill Hitler?

While I know that the circumstances made it very hard for him and other Christians to put up with Hitler, I personally don’t think he was justified in trying to kill Hitler. I think that while he only meant well, he had no right to take God’s judgment into his own hands. However, I want to see what you think about Bonhoeffer.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’ve only read his book “Ethics” and I found it a tough, but very good read.

After that, I started reading a bit more about him as a person. He’s certainly an interesting fellow.

It’s really tough to put ourselves in the position of passing judgment on a man in a different county, under a different government at a different time.

Hindsight would seem produce a resounding “Yes” in regards to his justification.

But, given that, what do we say about someone nowadays who targets an individual?

If there was justification to kill Hitler, then Bonhoeffer is irrelevant in the discussion.

I never read any thing by him. What is a good place to start?

The Cost of Discipleship is the one you see quoted from most often. But make sure you get a good translation — there are some bad ones out there.

Carol asks…

What are 3 reasons Dietrich Bonhoeffer got arrested or executed?

I know what of the reason was that he try to assassinate Adolf H.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Bonhoeffer was arrested by the Gestapo for involvement in a private currrency affair. In the subsequent investigations the Gestapo uncovered Dohnanyi’s operation in which 14 Jews were sent to Switzerland ostensibly as Abwehr agents and large sums in foreign currency were paid to them as compensation for confiscated properties. The Gestapo, which had been looking for any dirt to discredit Abwehr, sensed that they had a corruption case against Dohnanyi and searched his office at Abwehr, where they discovered notes revealing Bonhoeffer’s foreign contacts and other documents related to the anti-Hitler conspiracy. One of them was a note that discussed plans for a journey by Bonhoeffer to Rome, where he would explain to church leaders why the assassination attempts on Hitler in March 1943 had failed. [28]. Nevertheless, Bonhoeffer’s involvement in assassination plots was not known by the Gestapo as Abwehr succeeded in explaining away the most damning documents as official coded Military Intelligence materials. Dohnanyi and Bonhoeffer were, however, suspected of subverting Nazi policy toward Jews and misusing Abwehr for inappropriate purposes. Bonhoeffer was, for instance, suspected of evading military call-up, using Abwehr to circumvent Gestapo injunction against public speaking and staying in Berlin, using Abwehr to further Confessing Church works, etc.

Chris asks…

What would Dietrich Bonhoeffer think of CBN?

I just saw a link on CBN for the movie “Bonhoeffer: Agent of Grace.” If I understand his politics I don’t think he would care much for that gang.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I agree with you. In no way would Bonhoeffer have approved of he new American christianity.
