Was it Biblical doctrine? Not according to Scripture. This article is only about Bonhoeffer’s doctrine in contrast to God’s Word. I can’t read his mind, so I don’t know, but God looks on the heart. Seems he either has not, or is being deceitful. I told him there were two of his books at least where Bonhoeffer revealed this, and referred him to “Letters and Papers from Prison” adding that he might want to do a little more research. Strange that a biographer wouldn’t have heard this before, or know that it was in his books. He stumbled around and said it was an ‘internet rumor’ they had recently heard of. Years back, at Scottsdale Bible Church in Arizona, I publicly asked Eric Metaxas in person (in front of the entire packed auditorium in the church), about Bonhoeffer denying the resurrection. Let’s look at his writings to see if this comment has any truth to it at all. He was as orthodox as Saint Paul or Isaiah.” 7Įph 4:13 comes to mind when I read these comments. Metaxas had the audacity to tell Christianity Today, “Bonhoeffer is more like a theologically conservative evangelical than anything else. The book is entitled, ‘ Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy‘. The Author Eric MetaxasĮric Metaxas wrote a ‘biography’ on him, suggesting he was a prophet. Citing his bravery and outspokenness regarding evil, getting 17 Jews to safety, and his attempt to assassinate Hitler, etc.

They admire him for his good works during the days of the Nazis. And he is also a hero to dominionists or those involved with Kingdom Now Theology. He is also well loved by the emergent and contemplative churches involved in the social gospel. But please at least check to see if these things are true.ĭietrich Bonhoeffer is heavily quoted by reformed, a.k.a. Sadly many would rather stop up their ears because they admire him for the good things he did (I get it). I pray some will want to at least do their due diligence if they are quoting or reading him. In order to be thorough, it did end up longer. I did not intend for this to become a long article since there are many out there who already speak on his heresies.
