Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church's Confession Under Hitler is a historical book written by Arthur C. Cochrane that delves into the role of the Christian church during the reign of Adolf Hitler in Germany. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the complex relationship between the Nazi regime and the church, particularly the Confessing Church, which was a group of Christians who resisted Hitler's attempt to control the church.Cochrane explores the theological and political factors that led to the church's response to Hitler's regime, including the rise of nationalism, anti-Semitism, and totalitarianism. He also examines the various forms of resistance that the Confessing Church employed against the Nazis, such as preaching against Nazi ideology, providing sanctuary to Jews, and actively participating in the resistance movement.The book also sheds light on the challenges faced by the church during this period, including the imprisonment and execution of many pastors and church leaders, the confiscation of church property, and the forced closure of seminaries and theological schools.Overall, The Church's Confession Under Hitler is a thought-provoking and informative account of the church's struggle to maintain its independence and moral authority in the face of one of the most oppressive regimes in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Download or read book Theologians Under Hitler written by Robert P. Ericksen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What led so many German Protestant theologians to welcome the Nazi regime and its policies of racism and anti-Semitism? In this provocative book, Robert P. Ericksen examines the work and attitudes of three distinguished, scholarly, and influential theologians who greeted the rise of Hitler with enthusiasm and support. In so doing, he shows how National Socialism could appeal to well-meaning and intelligent people in Germany and why the German university and church were so silent about the excesses and evil that confronted them. "This book is stimulating and thought-provoking....The issues it raises range well beyond the confines of the case-studies of the three theologians examined and have relevance outside the particular context of Hitler's Germany....That the book compels the reader to rethink some important questions about the susceptibility of intelligent human beings to as distasteful a phenomenon as fascism is an important achievement."--Ian Kershaw, History Today "Ericksen's study...throws light on the kinds of perversion to which Christian beliefs and attitudes are easily susceptible, and is therefore timely and useful." --Gordon D. Kaufman, Los Angeles Times "An understanding and carefully documented study."--Ernst C. Helmreich, American Historical Review "This dark book poses a number of social, economic and cultural questions that one has to answer before condemning Kittel, Althaus and Hirsch."--William Griffin, Publishers Weekly "A highly competent, well written book."--Tim Bradshaw, Churchman

Download or read book Paul Tillich written by A. James Reimer and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2004 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays considers various aspects of Paul Tillich's theology of nature, culture, and politics in relation to major theological movements, thinkers, and events of the twentieth century. These essays are not purely an exercise in historical theology but an apology for Tillich's theological, philosophical, and ethical project. The underlying assumption is that Tillich's theology, both in form and content, is worth reading and learning from in the modern and postmodern era, even though we inhabit today an intellectual environment not very amenable to Tillich's form of mediation.

Download or read book One Church in Christ written by Troy J. Onsager and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-25 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to understanding the confessional foundations of church unity in the earlier theology of Karl Barth. This book follows Barth’s academic and ecclesiastical career from the years 1921 to 1938 as he moves from a nonconfessional pastor in Switzerland prior to his first teaching post in Göttingen to articulating, in his first volume of Church Dogmatics, the critical and essential authority of the church’s confession in its public witness at the start of his final teaching post in Basel. During these years, each academic placement and public ecclesiastical assignment is crucial for understanding the development of Barth’s confessional theology in order to make sense of his mature dogmatic understanding of the authority of the church’s confession in CD I/2.
