15. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German theologian and pastor who actively resisted Nazi ideology and participated in a plot to overthrow Hitler. Executed in 1945, Bonhoeffer’s writings on ethics, freedom, and the cost of discipleship continue to influence modern Christian thought. His life exemplifies moral courage in the face of tyranny and remains a touchstone for those grappling with the demands of conscience under oppressive regimes (via Bonhoeffer Society).
