Critics Of Dietrich Bonhoeffer Are Wrong About Everything

Tucker Carlson shocked nearly everyone last week when he implied that Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and one of the most revered heroes of World War II, had to abandon Christianity in order to turn on Adolf Hitler.

Bonhoeffer attempted to assassinate the Nazi leader and was murdered by the Third Reich in 1945. Bonhoeffer’s actions are almost universally regarded as heroic — but not to Carlson, who declared recently that Bonhoeffer had simply “decided … Christianity is not enough, we have to kill the guy.”
