With that kind of reaction, how could anyone take his work seriously? Since, the Bonhoeffer society & Family spoke out against the book & film, Metaxas is desperate to take something genuine ( Bonhoeffer) and reduce his legacy to something of a right wing fantasy.

I remember Mike Farrell and Ed Asner participated in a top notch documentary on the life of Bonhoeffer. If you want to check out on an accurate version, you might be able to find it on YouTube. It is called , Hanged on a Twisted Cross.

I have been reading Bonhoeffer seriously since seminary and graduate school. I liked Metaxas on Wilberforce but I read Charles Marsh's excellent Biography of Bonhoeffer then I read Metaxas on Bonhoeffer and it in no way reflected my own reading of Bonhoeffer nor Marsh's so I have lost any respect I may have had for Metaxas as a scholar.
