Advent Study 2023: Reflections at Advent on Bonhoeffer’s Meditations
The guide is designed to accompany the reading of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Advent meditations, God is in the Manger. These meditations are largely pulled from Bonhoeffer’s writings during his two-year imprisonment under the Nazi regime, from 1943 to the end of his life in 1945, when the Nazi government hanged him for his participation in the active resistance movement against Hitler from within the Nazi government. Set up in four chapters, one for each week of Advent to accompany the four sets of weekly readings in God is in the Manger, the study guide includes suggested spiritual practices and discussion questions to encourage you to engage in Bonhoeffer’s reflections more deeply. You can follow this study guide as an individual, with a study group from your congregation or online.
