Join Eric Metaxas on the third morning of the Bonhoeffer NYC Retreat as he guides a group through key sites in Harlem that shaped Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s time in New York. The tour includes two pivotal locations in Bonhoeffer’s American experience: Abyssinian Baptist Church, where Bonhoeffer was deeply moved by the church’s vibrant worship and commitment to social justice and Union Theological Seminary, where Bonhoeffer studied and lectured.

In this insightful talk, Eric Metaxas, the author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, shares his deep understanding of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s extraordinary life and legacy. Speaking to an engaged audience at the Museum of the Bible following a screening of the film Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Spy, Assassin, Metaxas explores Bonhoeffer’s courageous resistance against the Nazi regime, his theological contributions, and his unwavering commitment to his faith, even in the face of danger. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Metaxas highlights the profound impact Bonhoeffer’s example continues to have on both Christian faith and moral courage today.

In October, we hosted our first-ever NYC retreat, Bonhoeffer’s New York—a journey through the footsteps of Dietrich Bonhoeffer during his two transformative stays in the city, first in the early 1930s and then in 1939. We explored key locations from his time here, including the National Arts Club, where Bonhoeffer had a pivotal lunch in 1939 that led him to decide to return to Germany and join the resistance. Other highlights included Heidelberg Restaurant, the Metropolitan Museum (to view the paintings Bonhoeffer referenced in his diary), Grand Central Station, and the Jewish Heritage Foundation.

“Welcome to the Eric Metaxas Show!” In this special interview, filmed during our first-ever Bonhoeffer’s New York tour, Eric Metaxas sits down with producer Chris Himes to delve into the life and legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. They explore why the release of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Spy, Assassin feels especially relevant in light of the tragic events of October 7th. Eric also shares new insights from his book, including untold stories about Hitler’s brother’s restaurant, the intricate web of the conspiracy, and Bonhoeffer’s pivotal time in New York, shedding light on how these experiences shaped his extraordinary courage and unwavering faith in the face of evil.

In this episode, host Eric Metaxas invites the viewer into his home — to show what a typical “Day In His Life” looks like. The day includes filming two episodes of Socrates in the Studio, a run in Central Park, and dinner at his favorite restaurant, Orsay on the Upper East Side!
