Faith and Focus - OCR A level RS - Episode 17 - Bonhoeffer and Christian Moral Action

In this episode of Faith and Focus, we explore Christian Moral Action, focusing on the life, theology, and ethical teachings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer—a theologian who famously opposed the Nazi regime.

We unpack Bonhoeffer’s ideas on costly grace, discipleship, the role of the Church, and civil disobedience, asking: What does it truly mean to live as a Christian in times of moral crisis?

We examine:

• The difference between cheap grace and costly grace

• Bonhoeffer’s belief in obedience to God above the state

• His involvement in the Confessing Church and resistance to Hitler

• The relevance of Bonhoeffer’s ethics today

This episode breaks down complex ideas with key quotes, scholarly insight, and clear connections to OCR exam themes, helping you prepare with clarity and confidence.

🎧 Whether you’re revising for your A Level or just curious about how theology inspires activism, this episode is for you.
