Well thank you for this! Dietrich Bonhoeffer impacted my life in the 1980's when, standing in a bookshop I picked up his book "The cost of discipleship" opened it in front and the words: "when Christ calls a man he bids him come and die" hit me in my solar plexus. I bought the book needless to say, and it influenced my walk with Christ. I regard that book as a classic and must read for everyone serious about their faith in Christ. About three years ago I walked into a 2nd hand bookshop and found an English translated biography on Dietrich Bonhoeffer written by his friend Eberharf Bethge in 1967 in German. It is 836 pages in small print! So Eric, your biography is not so daunting after all. People have just become lazy to read. I bought it for the equivalent of US $5 and regard it as a treasure. I believe God used you to bring this man's life and testimony to the American Church as a wake up call for sure! Looking at where we as the universal Church are today, more than 12 years since this talk of yours, it is vitally important for Christians to realise what is happening. The hour is truly late! May God have mercy on us!
Amen amen…so agree with you. We must stand and fight the good fight and recognize it is headed in our direction more and more. But God is still with us to those who stand with him…👍👍❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Instead of re-reading the same nonsense, why not read "Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Biography" by Bethge, who was his close friend. Take metaxas "coolness" away and read a real book.
Eric Metaxas 1st time seeing you in almost 10 months your testimony Is so powerful even this presentation is giving Glory To GOD IS FOREMOST YOU ARE A LIVING WITNESS FOR THE LORD AMEN CORRIE TEN BOOM IS AN AWESOME WRITTEN TESTIMONY OF GOD'S GREAT POWER IN HIS PEOPLE JESUS HIMSELF AMEN

I am presently reading the first half of the book for the second time. I stopped for awhile and had to start over. Bonhoeffer's time and our time are truly, eerily similar. Eric Metaxas is a genius.
Does his book make parallels between natzi Germany and the demon'crat party/deep state/FBI higher up/social media giants/media/BLM/antifa (natzi brown shirts)and so on...how these r doing the same evil as hitler and his brown shirts did
This speech is proof that Eric didn’t learn much at Yale. They have fantastic New Testament scholarship. This is a cute entertaining speech that completely misses the message of Bonhoeffer. This is disgusting! What arrogance of God speaking to him. Bonhoeffer already has a real Biography…not a shallow blather like Eric’s!
Thank you. I hope Eric does another edition with more emphasis on DB’s best friend, brother in law and co conspirator. The story is so much better together.
Thank you so much for posting this! I had an incredible time at Acton University this year. Thank you for all the hard work and time spent bring these great people together.
The book written on Dietrich Bonhoeffer by Brother Eric Metaxas is indeed God's book for Germany and for the whole world. No born again Christian will be the same after reading it.
I watch his weekly show and Mr. Eric Metaxas is an excellent host and a Godly man. Do not pay attention to naysayers who are always ready to pounce on Christianity & God's Word of Truth because they do not know HIM. We who know, know better. Bonhoeffer was a man to write about & share his amazing life!
Bonhoeffer"my Hero". His Love affair with Maria must have been most painful for both of them.She was so young and to read about her dedication to him and his family was awe inspiring.I believe she eventually got married in the USA and died of cancer in the 70`s
From Wiki: "Although the book is popular in the United States among evangelical Christians, Bonhoeffer scholars have criticized Metaxas's book as unhistorical, theologically weak, and philosophically naive.[18] Professor of German history and Bonhoeffer scholar Richard Weikart, for example, credits his "engaging writing style," but claims Metaxas has a lack of intellectual background to interpret Bonhoeffer properly.[19] The biography has also been criticized by Bonhoeffer scholars Victoria Barnett[20] and Clifford Green.[18] "
Fantastic video!! Yet, Mr Metaxas, as an English major, you should know that it is incorrect to say “brother in laws”. The correct usage is “brothers in law”. Just kidding! Love your work and thank you for your excellent and faithful work in our day!
From Wiki: "After the 2020 presidential election, Metaxas endorsed Donald Trump's claim that the election was tainted by voter fraud,[39] predicting on Twitter: "Trump will be inaugurated. For the high crimes of trying to throw a U.S. presidential election, many will go to jail." Metaxas also told Trump on Metaxas's radio show that "Jesus is with us in this fight" to overturn the 2020 election. "I'd be happy to die in this fight," Metaxas added.[40][41]"
The irony of someone like Eric Metaxas trying to utilize Bonhoeffer's philosophy. Bonhoeffer wrote on issues in an attempt to try and help liberate people like Metaxas and the nonsense he spreads to the most gullible in his audience. He either doesn't know better or his is just simply evil and despicable.
so good 2023 Huh kyung young Eternal milk Kerygma 1st century Israel = 21st century Korea . You have to know that . Amazing historical events are taking place there . Longitude 127 Seoul Okinawa Soul Axis -- Bahai Faith Rael Jesus Huh kyung young Magnificent aletheia .
Eric would be the first one to agree with that ,because he is very humble ,He also gives credit to Jesus,and people tend to follow his lead.There does not seem to be a problem in that regard.
Also, he absolutely love Jesus and that’s why he’s bringing up DB who was so passionate about his love to spread the real truth. Sometimes we need to bring up people who have love for Christ and how they suffered for Christ. Many Christian’s are very weak and they just believe with mouth but there’s no action to share the gospel outside of our comfort zone. Faith without work is dead…James 2:26. Eric emphasize throughout his speech we must NOT allow this ideology of hatred towards people that are infiltrating to divide people with BLM, anti-semitism, critical race theory, lgbt movements, etc. He is NOW literally letting pastors and people know this is happening now like Hitler did but using these different tactics. We need to NOT allow our 1st Amendment to be taken away in America. It is happening slowly but we if don’t fight it will be like WW2….fight the good fight. Socialism come using anything to divide people ans many even Christian’s don’t understand this. If you read any history esp Hitler time this is how evil leaders trick people to take over people’s lives to control people mind. We must trust God and we Christian’s must fight this ideology of division. People and even Christian’s forget throughout the Bible God always mention …..Be faithful, believe, trust, and have NO FEAR! We need God and no matter evil takes over it’s bc people forgot about God. God disciplines us sometimes using this tactics just like parents disciplines us. No matter what trials we face in our life we must seek God. God is always good even when evil arises. He has a perfect plan for all of us esp those who trust in heaven. When we die as a believer, we will be resurrected as Jesus clearly mention throughout the Bible…🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️🙏🏽❤️Love Eric speaking out …❤️❤️❤️
@@nl9490 Eric, supported the Election Fraud Theory and there fore some what responsible, in my opinion for what happened on January 6th,. Also, he goes to extremes saying socialism is evil and will turn us into a country like Nazi Germany. Do you realize a lot of countries have socialist policies; these countries are in no way like Nazi Germany. Canada has Health Care for all; Greece has Health care for all plus they pay for Education all the way thru collage; France, United Kingdom and a lot of the Scandinavian Countries have Socialist Policies. They have not turned into a Nazi Germany. People who are for Socialist Policies, who help all there citizens have Health care and a Collage Education (not just for the Rich but for the poor) are doing the good works of Christians. Christians treat the LGBTQ Community with love and are loving their neighbor as there self. (These are the requirements of the law). God made you and sent you to show you how to love not condemn!

I have read the Bonhoeffer book 2-1/2 times. He is my hero, and the book is the best of modern times.
Instead of re-reading the same nonsense, why not read "Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Biography" by Bethge, who was his close friend. Take metaxas "coolness" away and read a real book.
America's obsession with Nazism will be its downfall as it makes it unbelievably blind to communism. Check out Richard Wurmbrandt.

I’m almost half way through, and I can’t put it down. Wow
I just got the book. Can’t wait to read.
This book is a keeper!
please read "Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Biography" by Bethge if you want real biography.
Think about the validity & profundity of this in January 2021!!!!!!
... and 2022 and 2023 ...

Such an elitist

Eric, your humor and honor of Jesus are inspiring! A day without listening to you preach BOTH, is a sad day! Blessings to u from Canada!

Saint Bonhoeffer! I'm saying this as a Catholic.

You're right . And both of them are misguided phonies : and I'm being charitable .
Plenty of wit, intelligence, and information devoid of spirituality and wisdom. And the Lord speaks through His Word - all else is narcism.
You are soo funny!
