Dietrich Bonhoeffer navigated a world of propaganda, lies and secrets – so what does he have to say to an age of ‘post-truth,’ ‘alternative facts’ and social media bubbles? What does a Christian witness to truth look like when we’re surrounded, not just by lies but by indifference to truth?
Speaker: Professor Rachel Muers, University of Edinburgh
Discussant: Professor John De Gruchy, University of Cape Town
