In terms of religion beliefs, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was part of the Protestant church, so thus he had Protestant beliefs. To his own religious beliefs, Bonhoeffer was very faithful in his duties as an ordained pastor. He wrote prayers, papers, letters, psalms, essays and books, and continued to write even as he was being held prisoner in a Nazi camp. Bonhoeffer believed himself that people were not aware enough of the existence of evil in the world. His last words indicate that he knew he was going to the arms of God. He also believed that the Jewish will accept in the end that Jesus Christ is the Messiah they've been waiting for. Bonhoeffer never back down from step one with Nazi resistance, in spite of being in the minority. Despite trying to continually leave Germany behind, he knew deep down that continuing this dangerous work was more important to him. In the process this man was alienated from the majority of society as an "enemy of the state;" he lost one of his jobs as a public teacher, and his public freedom as well. The entire time both his religious and political beliefs put him at risk of, and eventually did cause, death. But until his last breath, Bonhoeffer never stopped believing in his own views, nor did he stop believing in God. As described by a witness at the theologian's death, the latter was "devout and certain God heard his prayer... brave and composed... submissive to the will of God." (biographyonline.net, no
