Bonhoeffer Responds to the Aryan Paragraph

Published on: 8th July, 2023

Things are taking a dark turn in Germany in 1933. The Aryan Paragraph has been passed, removing those of non-Aryan descent from civil roles, and now churches are beginning to pass religious versions removing non-Aryan believers from churches and pastorates. In this episode, I discuss Bonhoeffer's response to this religious version of the Aryan Paragraph, and how partiality based on race or anything else divides wedges into the church that were never meant to exist. I also give some of my thoughts on how we as believers can continue to learn how to better love our neighbor who is different from us.

About the Podcast

My Seminary Life
My Seminary Life began as a way for my to chronicle my journey through finishing my Masters degree. After graduation, I began to turn my attention towards subjects that interest me or I was not required to take a class on in Seminary. I consider myself a life-long student, so even if I am not in a classroom environment, there is always something I am studying or learning about. My Seminary Life is the place where I keep those records of what I'm learning. If you're interested in people like CS Lewis and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, or in subjects like Homiletics and Cults, then you have come to the right place.
