'''Dietrich Bonhoeffer''' (1906-1945) was a [[German]] [[Lutheran]] [[pastor]], [[theologian]], and [[Nazi]] resister.<ref name="FIORAZO2012"/> He is considered to be a modern [[Christian]] [[martyr]] who voluntarily returned to [[Germany]] to speak out against [[Hitler]] and accept almost certain death for doing so. He was executed shortly before the [[Allies]] defeated Germany near the end of [[World War II]], just 23 days before the [[Nazi]]s' surrendered.
The integrity of his Christian faith and life, and the international appeal of his writings, have led to a broad consensus that he is the one theologian of his time to lead future generations of Christians into the new millennium.
