Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945) was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian, anti-Nazi dissident, and key founding member of the Confessing Church. His writings on Christianity's role in the secular world have become widely influential, and his book The Cost of Discipleship became a modern classic.

Apart from his theological writings, Bonhoeffer was known for his staunch resistance to the Nazi dictatorship, including vocal opposition to Hitler's euthanasia program and genocidal persecution of the Jews.  He was arrested in 1943 by the Gestapo and imprisoned at Tegel prison for one and a half years.  Later he was transferred to a Nazi concentration camp.  After being allegedly associated with the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, he was briefly tried, along with other accused plotters, and hung on 9 April 1945.
