While in the Tegel Prison in Berlin awaiting trial for participating in a plot to kill Hitler, Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer began to contemplate a future for Christianity and the church in a world with science, secularism, and world wars. His idea were formulated in different letters to his pastor friend Eberhard Bethge and compiled with all his prison writings in Letters from Prison.
Part eight - After deconstructing the popular idea of "redemption"in Christianity, Bonhoeffer begins to re-imagine what the word might mean in a world where people no longer believe in a literal hell with an eternal punishment that they need to be rescued from.
