Welcome to Inside the Epicenter with Joel and Lynn Rosenberg. In this episode of Inside the Epicenter, host Joel Rosenberg welcomes esteemed author Eric Metaxas for a compelling discussion about a groundbreaking film on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian who courageously opposed Nazi tyranny. This high-quality production, created with input from Hollywood elites, including Clint Eastwood's team, aims to appeal to a wide audience by subtly integrating themes of faith without excluding those of different political or theological views. The conversation delves into Bonhoeffer's transformative experience in African American churches in Harlem, a turning point that shifted his faith from intellectual belief to active practice. This journey is vividly portrayed as Bonhoeffer returns to Nazi Germany to stand against injustice, drawing striking parallels to modern societal issues. Listeners will gain insight into the 12-year endeavor to bring this film to the screen, the cultural resistance faced, and the significance of its timely release amid rising global antisemitism. Emphasizing the importance of box office support, this episode underscores Bonhoeffer’s enduring message: the necessity of standing against tyranny and injustice in every era.
