Read an excerpt from this study below.--------------------------

On April 9, 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, German pastor and theologian, was executed at the Flossenburg concentration camp by order of Heinrich Himmler. Few twentieth-century theologians have captured the imagination of the Christian public as Bonhoeffer has. He was an outstanding thinker who worked in the ecumenical movement. Church leaders in several nations knew him. After the Nazi domination of Germany, he taught in an underground seminary. He was the author of a number of important books, including The Cost of Discipleship. He is justly honored as a Christian martyr. Still, it must be noted that Bonhoeffer’s “crime” was his collaboration with military leaders who initiated a plot to assassinate Hitler. That is not the kind of action we typically associate with saints.

Tyrannicide has not been unknown in human history. Our own country attempted it with Osama bin Laden and accomplished it with Saddam Hussein’s two sons. But the church? In the fourth chapter of Judges, we read of a war against an oppressive regime and of the assassination of a tyrant.
