This Thesis aims to analyze the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer within the context of Germany in the early twentieth century. His life unfolded as a man who was moved by faith and the reception of a divine call in the world. In the first chapters the reader is placed in the early years of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, his birth and his family. Then his theological formation and his first steps in the pastoral ministry are reported. The text continues with the rise of the Nazi party and its consolidation in power, as well as the use of the apparatus of the German State to entice churches of different confessions to practice Nazi indoctrination. The theology of the Reich, its form and political movement are addressed, as well as the induction of the common German to understand the Aryan race as superior to other groups and a distorted view of the gospel. Dietrich Bonhoeffer s resistance is treated on three broad fronts that are diluted by the thesis. A theological resistance: that with his sermons in different pulpits, on the radio, on the street, within his family, and even in prison, he contributed to facing Hitler and Nazism. He sought to open the eyes of Germans to really see the evil that Nazism represented. An ecclesiastical resistance: for not accepting that several confessions, including your church, the Arian paragraph in Lutheranism. As the only way out, he left the church, accepting Pastor Niemöller s invitation to lead a seminar completely outside the German State, to enlighten young minds to resist the evil that reigned there. A political resistance: Bonhoeffer took information to his allies in England through Bishop George Bell who was his contact. He also participated in an operation to remove Jews from Germany to Switzerland. He was involved in a resistance ring for the purpose of assassinating Hitler. As a citizen, he expressed his political activity of what he believed to be the right and ethical thing to do as a Christian. Finally, his imprisonment is presented, the final years that contributed to his theological maturity and the growth of his faith. His death is treated in the text as a modern martyrdom, even with the existence of political contours.
