Jesus, Dietrich, and Me

Taking a break from Dietrich this week to talk about the Ten Lepers from Luke 17. What is "community" for a leper? What does the fact that the one returning to Jesus was a Samaritan have to do with the grand story of Scripture? What are you thankful for? And lastly, what SIGNATURE dish is at your Thanksgiving table?

Pacifism, a sinful Savior, and expository preaching. All important topics with Dietrich's return to Germany. We wrap up the return and talk about what is next with the struggling German church.

Pastoral debrief about the purpose of the church and events to begin the episode, and then we continue to the discussion about Dietrich's return to Germany and the state of the German church as Hitler and the Third Reich looms.

Dietrich is back from New York. What does he find back home in the country that he loves? Precisely what motivates him to not stay silent and speak up in the face of oppression and injustice. We would do well to remember that too.

We discuss what Dietrich discovered in New York about the Church, setting the table for his return to Germany in 1931 as Hitler rises to power.

In this episode we take a look at one of Dietrich's dissertations in which he poses the question, "who is Christ for you?" We deep dive in his Barcelona experience, relating to front line ministry today.

We take a look at what inspired Dietrich to pursue the theology of the cross in the first place, addressing a crucial question for those in the 1920s and 1930s: Who is the person of Jesus Christ to us? 

We discuss young Dietrich and his tendencies and draw very interesting parallels with what was happening then to what is happening now.

How does the theology of the cross line up with the theology of glory? Can you have glory without the cross? Pastor Hill, Pastor Cronkright, and Nick discuss a very important topic within Christianity.

The discussion on the next chapter of "The Cross of Reality" leads us down the rabbit hole of the theology of glory. We will spend this episode and the next comparing the theology of glory and the theology of the cross. Which one can you identify with more? Is it okay to subscribe to a theology of glory?

We explore Karl Holl's impact on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's ongoing development of Christology.
