Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian, and anti-Nazi dissident. His faith led him to challenge the Nazis’ regime, an act of resistance that eventually resulted in his execution in a concentration camp during World War II. His writings, including The Cost of Discipleship, continue to inspire and challenge Christians worldwide.
