Rise of Bonhoeffer - Episode 01 Now Available!
8-part audio docuseries on the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Hey Theology Nerds,
The day has finally arrived.
Episode 01 of the Rise of Bonhoeffer is now available!
Over the past year, Jeff Pugh and I have been working to produce an eight-part audio documentary series on the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and you can subscribe for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on www.BonhoefferPodcast.com.
PLUS, we’re hosting an accompanying Rise of Bonhoeffer online class that explores his life, theology, and the rise of Nazi Germany - featuring full-length interviews with Bonhoeffer scholars, eight live streams, and in-depth discussions to provide a nuanced picture of Bonhoeffer beyond the idealized hero.
ALMOST 2,000 PEOPLE have already signed up for the class, and YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS IT! To register for the class, you can donate any amount - including $0.
This is the most expansive project we’ve dared to take on at Homebrewed Christianity, and I truly believe you’re going to get so much out if. We want as many people as possible to join us on this inspiring and informative journey alongside Dietrich Bonhoeffer - one of the most courageous people in modern history.

About Dr. Jeffrey C. Pugh
Dr. Jeffrey C. Pugh recently retired as Maude Sharpe Powell Professor of Religious Studies and Distinguished University Professor from Elon University in North Carolina. The author of six books ranging from Barth, religion and science, and the apocalyptic imagination to Bonhoeffer, Pugh’s work has focused on Christian complicity in the Holocaust and the lessons that can be applied to instruct future generations. His latest work, a chapter on his reflections while he was participating in the clergy resistance at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, is found in Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Theology, and Resistance. He and his wife Jan, a retired United Methodist minister, make their home in Charlottesville, Virginia.
About Dr. Tripp Fuller
Tripp Fuller recently moved back to North Carolina and started as Visiting Professor of Theology at Luther Theological Seminary after three years as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Theology & Science at the University of Edinburgh. He recently released Divine Self-Investment: a Constructive Open and Relational Christology, the first book in the Studies in Open and Relational Theology series. For over 15 years Tripp has been doing the Homebrewed Christianity podcast (think on-demand internet radio) where he interviews different scholars about their work so you can get nerdy in traffic, on the treadmill, or doing the dishes. Last year it had over 4 million downloads. It also inspired a book series with Fortress Press called the Homebrewed Christianity Guides to... topics like God, Jesus, Spirit, Church History, etc. Tripp is a very committed and (some of his friends think overly) engaged Lakers fan and takes Star Wars and Lord of the Rings very seriously
This was a fantastic intro to the series and so incredibly helpful to have some working knowledge of his early life. You both were stellar.
