{"product_id":"9781591603436","title":"Bonhoeffer","description":"Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German theologian executed on  Hitler's orders in the closing days of World War II. Striving to center his  life on God's will, Bonhoeffer returned to his native Germany just before  the outset of the war. There he served in the so-called \"Confessing Church,\"  composed of churches whose pastors, among other things, refused to take an  oath to Adolf Hitler.  \u003cp\u003e  Bonhoeffer became involved in representing the German Resistance abroad,  believing he had a Christian obligation to help overthrow an indelibly evil  government. He was imprisoned in early 1943. Until late 1944, the Nazis  failed to understand that Bonhoeffer had played a key role in the  Resistance. Once his role surfaced, he was doomed to the fate of those  involved in the July 1944 assassination attempt on Hitler's life.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The play \u003ci\u003eBonhoeffer\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on Bonhoeffer's spiritual struggles following  his effort to communicate with the British government in 1942 until his  execution in 1945. It provides a dramatic and instructive introduction to  Dietrich Bonhoeffer, to his times, and to his witness against unremitting  evil. \u003ci\u003eBonhoeffer\u003c\/i\u003e lends itself to theatrical production, to altar dramas,  and to readings by groups of people.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xulon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48729254134000,"sku":"9781591603436","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781591603436_p0.jpg?v=1768854329","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781591603436","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
