In Faith in the Face of Tyranny, Torbjörn Johannson looks at the work that Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Hermann Sasse brought to the forgotten Bethel Confession of 1933 to show just what a confessional response to national socialism and racism looks like. This work is relevant for today, when there are often calls for new confessions and declarations addressing different political ideologies, issues, and movements. Faith in the Face of Tyranny shows what such a confession should look like and why, as well as what considerations should be taken into account when looking at such a project.
