Eric Metaxas believes Rick Warren, Tim Keller, and Andy Stanley are “Hitler’s favorite kind of pastors”

Eric Metaxas is hawking a book that condemns evangelicals for failing to stand-up to Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. He compares Biden and the Democrats to Adolph Hitler and the Nazis in the 1930s and is using his widely panned biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer to suggest that he and his pro-Trump cronies are today’s Bonhoeffers, standing-up for righteousness and liberty against the demonic forces of secularism, Bidenism, woke-ism, and COVID-19 science.

Here is the latest from Metaxas’s Twitter feed along with a critique from University of Virginia theologian Charles Marsh:

“Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Against stupidity we are defenseless.” Bonhoeffer (12/42) pic.twitter.com/EYnW6sCyUx

Peter Wehner nails it with this tweet:

This is what Eric Metaxas has descended to. Since he invokes Bonhoeffer so often it's worth recalling that he authored a slipshod biography of the great theologian. Few have done as much to distort the true Bonhoeffer as Metaxas, and Bonhoeffer scholars know it. 1/2 https://t.co/gTMGUyFkb1
