I post this to direct you to the statement from the Bonhoeffer Society, and the article by Jim Wallis. It is a fine response from an evangelical to the "Evangelicals for Trump."A Christian group of Bonhoeffer scholars calls for the end of Trump’s presidency. Bonhoeffer was a German theologian executed for being part of a plot to assassinate Hitler, and his legacy has been claimed by evangelicals all along the political spectrum. https://t.co/IxChpG7uyC— Ruth Graham (@publicroad) January 17, 2020

Thank you for the link. "A hallmark of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s legacy is his insistence that we see the great events of world history from “the view from below” (1942). That is, he urges us to see from the perspective of those who suffer."
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it put so clearly, there is much to consider in just that sentence, along with the rest of the statement and article.
That very line was the reason I posted this.
