What Bonhoeffer gets right (and what it gets wrong)

Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government

The trailer, which features Disturbed’s hauntingly powerful cover of the Simon and Garfunkel classic “The Sound of Silence,” struck such a chord with me that I watched it a few dozen times on YouTube and shared it with many friends in the lead-up to the film’s Nov. 22 theatrical release.

Critics have a point. Komarnicki’s Bonhoeffer enjoys near-perfect moral clarity. Things were not always quite so clear for the real Bonhoeffer. On one occasion, he acquiesced to pressure from a bishop who discouraged him from speaking at a funeral for a Jew, a decision he regretted almost immediately. He struggled mightily to resolve the tension between his Christian values and what he eventually felt he must do to stop evil: assist in a plot to assassinate Hitler.

It’s important to understand that Bonhoeffer would have been a hero if he had not become a world-famous martyr.
