Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German theologian and pastor known for his strong stance against the Nazi regime during World War II. Born in 1906, he became a prominent figure in the Confessing Church, which opposed the state-controlled German Evangelical Church. Bonhoeffer's writings emphasized the importance of faith and ethics in the face of injustice. In addition to his theological work, Bonhoeffer was involved in efforts to resist the Nazis, including a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. He was arrested in 1943 and executed in 1945, becoming a martyr for his beliefs. His legacy continues to inspire discussions on faith, morality, and social justice.
