Emphasis Preaching Journal

At the beginning of this century, in Germany, a brilliant young man began studying theology in the German Universities. By age 24, he was lecturing in systematic theology at Berlin University. He was arrested by the Gestapo for writing against the Nazi regime in Germany and was sent to prison. When that prison was destroyed by an air raid, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was transferred to another prison, and from there to other concentration camps until he was executed in April 1945, by special order.
