Consider this quote about Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
“[Bonhoeffer] had once told a student that every sermon must contain ‘a shot of heresy,’ meaning that to express the truth, we must sometimes overstate something or say something in a way that will sound heretical––though it must certainly not be heretical.”
–– Eric Metaxas, Bonhoeffer, 364.
