The story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, pastor and theologian, is the story of a man who spoke as a great prophet to a German church that was more concerned with her own security than she was with doing the work of God in the midst of oppression and human need. A real contribution to Bonhoeffer studies, performance artist Al Staggs brings this modern martyr's testimony to life with wit and sensitivity, compelling us to struggle along with Bonhoeffer with regard to the nature and expression of Christian faithfulness in the context of horrifying injustice.
