The Faith and Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer with Dr. Vicki Barnett

In this episode of Maybe I'm Amazed, Dr. Howell talks with Dr. Victoria J. Barnett, one of the world's leading experts on Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the history of German Protestant churches during the Nazi era. This podcast coincides with the release of Dr. Howell's new book, Reading the Bible with Bonhoeffer. Dr. Barnett, author of For the Soul of the People: Protestant Protest Against Hitler and former general editor of the English edition of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works project, shares her deep insights into the complex reality of Bonhoeffer's life, his theology, and the German Confessing Church. Together, they look past popular mythologies to examine the real man behind the icon: his personal transformation, his key relationships, and how his historical legacy continues to be understood today.  Whether you've read The Cost of Discipleship or are discovering Bonhoeffer's story for the first time, this thoughtful conversation offers a grounded, nuanced perspective on faith, history, and moral courage.
