Excerpt from The Origin of the Reformed Church in Germany The Reformed Church of Germany has a history. If so, it ought to be told to her English children in their own tongue. The history of the German Reformed Church is a history of persecutions and triumphs. She was a faithful witness to the truth in days of darkness and danger. She was not the least among the Reformed Churches of the sixteenth century, but was a leader in the sacramental host Of God's elect. The most interesting part of Reformed Church his tory is its beginning. To see the light first glimmering through the darkness, to see the struggles to find the truth, to watch her progress through persecution, and her on ward march to victory, is the most fascinating page of her church-life. We propose to take up the story of her origin in Germany, and to tell that story simply, but faithfully. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Historians of the early Republic are just beginning to tell the stories of the period&’s ethnic minorities. In Foreigners in Their Own Land, Steven M. Nolt is the first to add the story of the Pennsylvania Germans to that larger mosaic, showing how they came to think of themselves as quintessential Americans and simultaneously constructed a durable sense of ethnicity. The Lutheran and Reformed Pennsylvania German populations of eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and the Appalachian backcountry successfully combined elements of their Old World tradition with several emerging versions of national identity. Many took up democratic populist rhetoric to defend local cultural particularity and ethnic separatism. Others wedded certain American notions of reform and national purpose to Continental traditions of clerical authority and idealized German virtues. Their experience illustrates how creating and defending an ethnic identity can itself be a way of becoming American. Though they would maintain a remarkably stable and identifiable subculture well into the twentieth century, Pennsylvania Germans were, even by the eve of the Civil War, the most &"inside&" of &"outsiders.&" They represent the complex and often paradoxical ways in which many Americans have managed the process of assimilation to their own advantage. Given their pioneering role in that process, their story illuminates the path that other immigrants and ethnic Americans would travel in the decades to follow.

In one of the darker aspects of Nazi Germany, churches and universities - generally respected institutions - grew to accept and support Nazi ideology. Complicity in the Holocaust describes how the state's intellectual and spiritual leaders enthusiastically partnered with Hitler's regime, becoming active participants in the persecution of Jews, effectively giving Germans permission to participate in the Nazi regime. Ericksen also examines Germany's deeply flawed yet successful postwar policy of denazification in these institutions.
