Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Walter Kim joins host Karen Wright Marsh to ask the question: was Dietrich Bonhoeffer an evangelical?
Yes, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a heroic martyr. But he was far more: a spiritual teacher to generations of strugglers. His words emboldened young Walter Kim to answer God’s unsettling call. Years later, Walter imagines what Bonhoeffer might have to teach in this current moment.
Walter Kim is the president of the National Association of Evangelicals and a Presbyterian pastor who has served as chaplain at Yale University. He has taught at Boston College and Harvard University, where he received his PhD. Walter Kim's commitment to exploring biblical theology and cultural issues is grounded in his personal experience as the child of Korean American immigrant parents.
