Die zwolfjahrige Mila liebt ihre Tanzgruppe und ihren Hund Made und verabscheut die wochentlichen, langweiligen Besuche bei ihrer Urgro?mutter im Altenheim. Dort trifft sie aber eines Tages auf Jakub, der ihr von der NS-Zeit und von Dietrich Bonhoeffer erzahlt. Mila erkennt plotzlich, wie wichtig es ist zu wissen, woher man kommt und was fruher passiert ist, um die Fehler der Geschichte nicht zu wiederholen. Als dann immer mehr Fluchtlinge ins Dorf kommen und sogar in der Turnhalle der Schule untergebracht werden, wird Fremdenhass fur Mila und ihre Freunde ein aktuelles Thema. Beflugelt durch die Worte Bonhoeffers uberwindet Mila ihre Angst, zeigt Zivilcourage und schafft es letztendlich, die verschiedenen Menschen an einem Tisch zu versammeln.

In 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer—a theologian and pastor—was executed by the Nazis for his resistance to their unspeakable crimes against humanity. He was only 39 years old when he died, but Bonhoeffer left behind volumes of work exploring theological and ethical themes that have now inspired multiple generations of scholars, students, pastors, and activists. This book highlights the ways Dietrich Bonhoeffer's work informs political theology and examines Bonhoeffer's contributions in three ways: historical-critical interpretation, critical-constructive engagement, and constructive-practical application. With contributions from a broad array of scholars from around the world, chapters range from historical analysis of Bonhoeffer’s early political resistance language to accounts of Bonhoeffer-inspired, front-line resistance to white supremacists in Charlottesville, VA. This volume speaks to the ongoing relevance of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s work and life in and out of the academy.

Discipleship is the heartbeat of the Christian Church. This book explores how «following Jesus» was understood and lived by the Lutheran Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Baptist Arnold Koster during the Third Reich era.
Baptists and Lutherans often define the tension of being in the world but not of it in terms of two separate realms: the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the world. However, their understanding of these and their delicate connection is quite nuanced. Within the Lutheran tradition, the two kingdoms are held in tension, which in turn leads to a precarious interaction of state and church. In the (Ana)Baptist tradition, a much stricter duality is emphasized, resulting in a more radical and separatist stance. This book seeks to understand and compare the historical development of these two viewpoints and to discover how these traditions, represented in the lives of two individual followers, responded to the ideological onslaught of neopaganism and the enforced political conformity of the Third Reich.
Compared to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, little is known of the Baptist preacher Arnold Koster. His ministry as a pastor of the Baptist church in Vienna lasted from 1928-1960. During the Nazi regime, he consistently preached critically and prophetically against its underlying ideology.

Does Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Ethics have any affinities with what we have now come to call virtue ethics? If so, what is the relationship between those affinities and the more widely recognized influence of Karl Barth? Moberly seeks to answer these questions through close analysis of the Ethics and engagement with other interpreters of Bonhoeffer, while discussing the nature of virtue ethics in a Christian context. The answers may be surprising, but they are certainly rewarding for anyone wanting to better understand Bonhoeffer and to see how his work could be helpful for current ethical debates.
