2024 Aus Memorial Lecture at Luther Seminary
Bonhoeffer, the Gospel, and the Other: A Bonhoeffer Salon
Before his imprisonment and martyrdom for working with the German resistance, Dietrich Bonhoeffer lived and shared the Gospel in an increasingly dangerous world. Come discover how Bonhoeffer's ideas of who is "Other" impacted how he lived—and died—as a witness for his faith.
A Compelling Conversation on Bonhoeffer's Life and Legacy
Join Bonhoeffer scholar and author Andy Root and theologian and Homebrewed Christianity founder Tripp Fuller for an evening that brings to life Bonhoeffer’s travels, teaching, and work—not only bringing the Gospel to Others but to living out the Gospel's call to the point of death at the hands of the Nazi regime.
This interactive, "salon"-style event will feature a high quality livestream of the Aus Memorial Lecture from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, as well as a hosted online conversation with facilitator Rolf Jacobson, professor of Old Testament and dean of the faculty at Luther Seminary.
What You'll Gain:
- Insights about how Bonhoeffer's boundary-crossing travels to Rome, Spain, Africa, and New York shaped his radical theology of solidarity with the "Other" and the oppressed.
- The pivotal role that grappling with cultural and national identity played in Bonhoeffer's ministry during an era of global crisis.
- How Bonhoeffer's experiences as a pastor among Germany's working class—with their rising cultural resentments—informed his vision of an authentic, socially-engaged church that identifies with the marginalized.
- What drove Bonhoeffer to join the German resistance at tremendous personal risk, collaborating with the "Other" on the underside of society.
