#ICYMI – Paul Schneider Remembered

Via Reformed.info back on July 19, 2014.

If you aren’t familiar with him, you can learn all about him in this book–

Paul Schneider (1897-1939) was a German Reformed pastor, father of six, and part of the Bekennende Kirche during World War II. Schneider’s unequivocal opposition to the quickly ascending Nazi regime led to his imprisonment, torture and eventual execution at the hands of the Gestapo on July 18, 1939. Until now, Pastor Schneider’s story has remained less accessible to English-speaking audiences. This authoritative biography of Paul Schneider by Rudolf Wentorf appears here for the first time in an unabridged English translation by Daniel Bloesch.

Unlike Bonhoeffer, he upheld the faith without entering into a pact to kill anyone.
