Embark on an unforgettable journey through the streets of Berlin as we explore theology, culture, and Christianity through the remarkable life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. This once-in-a-lifetime travel-learning experience, led by theologians Dr. Andrew Root and Dr. Tripp Fuller, offers a profound opportunity to engage with Bonhoeffer's legacy and his challenging insights into faith and resistance in the modern world.

Exclusive Access to the Historic Bonhoeffer Haus
Immerse yourself in the space where Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his family plotted resistance against the Nazi regime. Stand in the very rooms where Bonhoeffer’s commitment to faith and justice took concrete form, and where he was ultimately arrested by the Gestapo in 1943.
Expert Guidance from Leading Bonhoeffer Scholars
Dr. Andrew Root, author of Bonhoeffer as Youth Worker: A Theological Vision for Discipleship and Life Together, will guide us through Bonhoeffer’s groundbreaking theology of "place-sharing." Dr. Tripp Fuller, creator of The Rise of Bonhoeffer audio documentary, will lead us through Bonhoeffer’s spiritual journey as he confronted the moral and theological crises of his time.
Integrative Learning Experiences
Dive deep into Bonhoeffer’s story through a dynamic mix of lectures, discussions, and tours. You will not only learn about Bonhoeffer’s theology, but also wrestle with its relevance for today’s world. Explore key moments in his life and reflect on his powerful challenge to live a faith that responds to the crises of modern society.
Explore Berlin's Rich Historical and Cultural Landscape
Our experience extends beyond the Bonhoeffer Haus. You will explore Berlin’s landmarks, from the infamous Berlin Wall to the museums and churches connected to the Confessing Church movement that defied Nazi ideology. Experience the city where much of 20th-century history was written and see how Bonhoeffer’s legacy continues to echo today.

Class Finishes at Noon

Dr. Tripp Fuller

Luther Theological Seminary, Hombrewed Christianity, Theology Class

Tripp recently moved back to North Carolina and started as Visiting Professor of Theology at Luther Theological Seminary after three years as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Theology & Science at the University of Edinburgh. He recently released Divine Self-Investment: a Constructive Open and Relational Christology, the first book in the Studies in Open and Relational Theology series. For over 15 years Tripp has been doing the Homebrewed Christianity podcast (think on-demand internet radio) where he interviews different scholars about their work so you can get nerdy in traffic, on the treadmill, or doing the dishes. Last year it had over 4 million downloads. It also inspired a book series with Fortress Press called the Homebrewed Christianity Guides to... topics like God, Jesus, Spirit, Church History, etc. Tripp is a very committed and (some of his friends think overly) engaged Lakers fan and takes Star Wars and Lord of the Rings very seriously.
