Interview: Author Eric Metaxas
When 4,000 pastors and priests joined to endorse Joseph Stalin as the honorary president of the Congress of Christians in Romania, one man stood up to oppose the motion – Richard Wurmbrand. In the 1930’s and 1940’s, one outspoken German opposed the Third Reich, the death camps, and Adolf Hitler, and he paid the ultimate price. Kevin Swanson interviews author Eric Metaxas on his defining biography of the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. History has a way of clarifying the true heroes. But what does all of this mean for Americans who face the same thing Germany faced in the 1930s – the weakening of the church, the rise of immorality and homosexuality, eugenics and abortion, and nihilism gone mainstream?
