A Prophet with Honor: Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Stupidity (Episode 8)

from Faith Seeking Understanding: A Podcast on Christian Faith and 21st Century Life · host Allan R. Bevere

In his Letters and Papers from Prison, Dietrich Bonhoeffer writes, "Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous." What does Bonhoeffer mean by "stupidity?" Is he referring to those who lack intelligence or is it something more complicated? Who is he referring to in his context of Nazi Germany? Pidge and Allan discuss the matter.
