Eric Metaxas's "Letter to the American Church" draws a parallel between the German Church's response to the rise of Nazism and the contemporary American Church's engagement with societal issues. He invokes the legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who saw the Church as the Bride of God, to critique the American Church's retreat from public discourse, which he views as a failure to live out its faith authentically. Metaxas challenges the interpretation of "Faithful Presence" as a call for disengagement and criticizes the American Church for its reluctance to address moral issues, such as the sanctity of marriage, the rights of the unborn, and the dangers of Marxist ideology
