Metaxas' biography has motivated me to seek to live out my Christian faith with more intelligence and courage. Bonhoeffer saw in advance where Hitler was taking Germany and the world. German churchgoers were easy prey for the dictator in part due to abandoning the authority of the Bible as the revelation of Jesus Christ and through confusing Lutheranism with nationalism. The Allies failed to encourage the German resistance, which probably prolonged the war and led to much additional suffering. Fascinating history. Inspiring, practical theology.
