Fear God, Honor the Emperor (1 Peter 2:13–17)

Stephen Nichols recounts the events surrounding the failed “Valkyrie Plot” of July 20, 1944. A group within the German Resistance sought to overthrow Hitler by detonating a bomb at his field headquarters. The attempt failed. Hitler survived, thousands were executed, and countless others arrested. Among those implicated was the young German pastor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
