RADIO DRAMA: BONHOEFFER — THE COST OF FREEDOM_________
|
 The young Dietrich Bonhoeffer astounded his parents as a fourteen-year-old when he declared he wanted to become a minister. This was no empty statement, as few statements in his short life were ever to be. The well-loved sixth child of an upper-class intellectual family, he was also a pianist and an athlete. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Berlin and obtained his doctorate in theology by the time he was 21. His doctoral thesis was praised by Karl Barth. After further travels and studies in Spain and the Americas, Bonhoeffer returned to Germany and was ordained at 25.
However, his career was irrevocably altered by the rise of Nazism in Germany. With the clarity of sight for which he became well known, Bonhoeffer immediately recognized the implications of Nazification began to boldly counter it, both in word and in deed.
This Peabody Award winning drama by Focus on the Family tells the unforgettable story of the perils and rewards that lay along Bonhoeffer’s path.
From February 21 to April 10 the seven parts go to air one part a week at the following times: Sunday at 1200, Monday evenings at 2130, Wednesday afternoons at 1430, and Saturday mornings at 700.
There will be an encore presentation of the drama in its entirety April 11, Sunday evening, from 1800.
Personal copies can be purchased online through an FOTF affiliated site.

LENT AND EASTERTIDE REFLECTIONS_______________________
|
“The life of discipleship can only be maintained as long as nothing is allowed to come between Christ and ourselves—neither the law, nor personal piety, nor even the world. The disciple always looks only to his master, never to Christ and the law, Christ and religion, Christ and the world. ...Only by following Christ alone can he preserve a single eye. ...Thus the heart of the disciple must be set upon Christ alone.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Complementing our radio drama focus, our Lent and Eastertide reflections will be taken from the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. |

Ecce homo — see the man judged by God! This is what the Reconciler of the world looks like. The guilt of humanity has fallen on him; it pushes him into shame and death under God's judgment. This is what it costs God to be reconciled with the world. Only by God executing judgment on himself can there be peace between him and the world and among human beings… Only as people judged by God can human beings live before God. Only the crucified human being is at peace with God.
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
