Publisher's Synopsis
Dietrich Bonhoeffer publicly confronted Nazism and anti-semitic racism in Hitler's Germany. The Reich's political ideology, when mixed with theology of the German Christian movement, turned Jesus into a divine representation of the ideal, racially pure Aryan and allowed race-hate to become part of Germany's religious life. Bonhoeffer provided a Christian response to Nazi atrocities. In this book, author Reggie L. Williams follows Bonhoeffer as he defies Germany with Harlem's black Jesus.
