In my book, once he kept up saying Bonhoeffer’s relatives were pro-Hamas, he sounded like a Peanuts adult. This was a non-apology apology solely intended to keep him from being sued.

I don’t even think it accomplished that!

Since he’s in faux-apology mode, maybe he should apologize to, say, Kathy Keller for his referring to her late husband Tim as the type of pastor who supported Hitler. Just a thought.

Ok the first sentence in the clip to me says “not an apology.”

Saw the film today. Lots of thoughts about it but one relevant one to this post: I believe I've seen Metaxas claim that neither he nor his book has anything to do with the film. This is highly unlikely since the very last line of the film credits is "With special thanks to Eric Metaxas"

I typed a few things, but honestly, I don’t have a good comeback for that.

Suffice it to say, for an alleged communicator and Christian, that’s one of the more rancid attempts to play the victim I’ve seen yet from 81% evangelicals who “apologize”.

I think we have yet to see any real repentance, and judging by that response from him, we likely will never see that.

Bonhoeffer relatives should go ahead pursue legal means against him. He needs consequences not pity.
