Hitler and the Nazis saturated their country with many types of propaganda to convince the German citizenry that the Nazi ideology was the only ideology. One type of propaganda that the Nazis relied on heavily was cinematic. This work focuses on Nazi propaganda feature films and feature-length documentaries made in Germany between 1933 and 1945 and released to the public. Some of them were Staatsauftragsfilme, films produced by order of and financed by the Third Reich. The films are arranged by subject and then alphabetically, and complete cast and production credits are provided for each. Short biographies of actors, directors, producers, and other who were involved in the making of Nazi propaganda films are also provided.
Recent scholarship has criticized the assumption that European modernity was inherently secular. Yet, we remain poorly informed about religion's fate in the nineteenth-century big city, the very crucible of the modern condition. Drawing on extensive archival research and investigations into Protestant ecclesiastical organization, church-state relations, liturgy, pastoral care, associational life, and interconfessional relations, this study of Strasbourg following Germany's annexation of Alsace-Lorraine in 1871 shows how urbanization not only challenged the churches, but spurred them to develop new, forward-looking, indeed, urban understandings of religious community and piety. The work provides new insights into what it meant for Imperial Germany to identify itself as "Protestant" and it provocatively identifies the European big city as an agent for sacralization, and not just secularization.
This representative analysis of classical and innovative Bible adaptations in their varying individual, social, religious and educational contexts, and a bibliography of about 1000 titles provide a differentiated portrayal of the development of bibles for children and their use in school from the late Middle Ages to the 21st Century. The volume focuses on Bible adaptations of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish origin. The study distinguishes between books with Bible verses, Bible paraphrases, Bible stories and picture Bibles and traces their development. The new concern for children in the Age of Enlightenment, the intense interest in biblical pietism, the introduction of compulsory schooling and bible instruction as well as new concepts for religious education gave rise to characteristic further and new developments of Bible adaptations. In the light of an increasingly complex market for children's bibles, this historical retrospective inspires us to compile and put to the test childrens' bibles that meet contemporary exegetical and didactic requirements.
For more than five centuries, parents, teachers, and preachers in Europe and America have written and illustrated Bibles especially for children. These children's Bibles vary widely, featuring different stories, various interpretations, and markedly divergent illustrations, despite their common source. How children's Bibles differ, and why, is the subject of this ground-breaking book, the first to recognize children's Bibles as a distinct genre with its own literary, historical, and cultural significance.

Seit Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts ist die Kirchengeschichte ein Element im evangelischen Religionsunterricht. Durch eine historische Analyse von über 350 Schulbüchern und konzeptionellen didaktischen Entwürfen wird die Entwicklung der Kirchengeschichtsdidaktik von 1770 bis 2020 dargelegt und in drei Typen zusammengefasst.
