Today, April 9 marks the sixty-fourth anniversary of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s martyrdom at the hands of the Nazi authorities in the closing years of World War II. Bonhoeffer has become, in the decades since his death, an iconic figure both within and outside the ecumenical Christian community. His writings and life have marked modern Christianity in an indelible way.
In recognition of Bonhoeffer’s own witness and his massive contribution to the task of Christian theology, today will be dedicated solely to quotes from, and comments on Bonhoeffer’s writings. He is a saint who is always worthy of memory, no matter what avenue draws us to reflect upon him.
