1906

Dietrich Bonhöeffer was born in Breslau to a family who originally came from Berlin. He was a Lutheran pastor and theologian who opposed the Nazi regime and died on April 9, 1945 in the Flossebürg concentration camp. He sought new ways of theological reflection in a secularized world in which God seems to remain in silence. He maintained that God should not be sought as an answer to the mysteries of man, or as a sort of stopgap that fills our gaps in knowing, or only encountered in terms of our existential needs.
