A Church Undone


Book Description

Decades after the Holocaust, many assume that the churches in Germany resisted the Nazi regime. In fact, resistance was exceptional. The Deutsche Christen, or "German Christians," a movement within German Protestantism, integrated Nazi ideology, nationalism, and Christian faith. Marrying religious anti-Judaism to the Nazis' racial antisemitism, they aimed to remove everything Jewish from Christianity. For the first time in English, Mary M. Solberg presents a selection of "German Christian" documents. Her introduction sets the historical context. Includes responses critical of the German Christians by Karl Barth and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.







The State of the Protestant Religion in Germany


Book Description

Excerpt from The State of the Protestant Religion in Germany: In a Series of Discourses Preached Before the University of Cambridge The following Discourses were delivered in the month of May last, in the discharge of my duty as one of the Select Preachers for the past year; and they are now sent to the Press in compliance with a very flattering suggestion from the present highly respected Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Le Blanc, and the advice of several University friends. I feel it also a duty to bring forward some proof of the heavy accusations made against a large body of the German divines, and I only regret that the deficiency of books has not enabled me to make that proof so complete as I could wish. For although some of the most noxious works arc in common use among us, I am unable to obtain in this country many which I deem necessary for illustrating the growth and progress of the opinions I have ventured to attack.
