Christ in the Midst: Bonhoeffer’s Vision of the Church (A Conversation with Dr. Michael Mawson, Part 1)

In this episode, hosts David Luy and Maurice Lee sit down with Dr. Michael Mawson to explore Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s striking vision of the church. Drawing from Bonhoeffer’s early work Sanctorum Communio, they unpack how the church can be both a flawed human community and the place where Christ is truly present. From ecclesiology in the 1920s to the tension between sociological and theological claims, this first part sets the stage for a deep dive into one of Bonhoeffer’s most enduring theological commitments.
