Join us for an engaging exploration of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the courageous young German theologian who took a bold stand against Adolf Hitler during one of history’s darkest chapters.

This enriching class will feature a compelling documentary filled with extraordinary archival footage, vividly bringing to life Bonhoeffer's journey and the impact of his work. Through intimate interviews with his friends, family, and students, as well as insights from leading historians and theologians, we will dive deep into the mind and spirit of a remarkable man whose legacy inspires change and resistance against oppression.

Guiding our discussion is Dr. Ignacio Götz, a distinguished scholar and teacher whose remarkable 90-year journey has spanned numerous cultures and religions. With an impressive array of degrees and a wealth of published works, Dr. Götz brings unparalleled understanding to our conversation.
