Perfect for you if...

You're a Christian wrestling with what faithfulness means in a polarised moment and wondering if the church is speaking prophetically enough.
You've read Bonhoeffer and want to understand what his resistance to evil demands of us now.
You believe the church should challenge injustice and are concerned it's compromised its witness instead.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a nuanced historical comparison; Metaxas draws direct lines that oversimplify both the 1930s and today.
You prefer books that don't make you feel spiritually scolded or morally urgent in every chapter.
You're sceptical of apocalyptic framings of contemporary politics or faith.

About this book

Eric Metaxas draws parallels between the contemporary American church and the German church of the 1930s. He argues that the situations share troubling similarities and issues a call for Christians to examine their response to evil. Metaxas urges fellow Christians to repent of their silence in the face of wrongdoing, invoking the prophetic example of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The work serves as a warning that action is needed before circumstances worsen further.
