The trouble with the film, BONHOEFFER: AGENT OF GRACE is that one would never know from that movie that Bonhoeffer was a strict constructionist regarding scripture. He hated liberal theology institutions such as Union Theological Seminary in midtown Manhattan.

Metaxas’ book gives us a closer look at the real Bonhoeffer.

Appreciate the insight Monterrosa-24. I enjoyed the detail in the book and probably will not watch the movie. I recall DB was very much against the liberals - I think he watched what happened to the Confessing Church and the creation of the complacent Nazi evangelical church; he just could not reconcile the situation in Germany with the liberal excess in the USA.
