This book explores the total resistance to Nazism among the Catholic Christian voters of the Zentrum party in the elections in German states in the Interwar period. Kolden explains the unique Catholic resistance by comparing the diverging evolutions of Catholic and Protestant cultures and mentalities since the awakening of German nationalism in the late eighteenth century. During the Empire (1871–1918) both socialists and Catholics were regarded as pariah groups by the dominant non-socialist Protestant majority, and more so after the WWI defeat, when the pariah-parties, together with Protestant liberals, tried to accommodate the new democratic circumstances with their Weimar Constitution. ...
Analyzing the previously unexplored religious views of the Nazi elite, Richard Steigmann-Gall argues against the consensus that Nazism as a whole was either unrelated to Christianity or actively opposed to it. He demonstrates that many participants in the Nazi movement believed that the contours of their ideology were based on a Christian understanding of Germany's ills and their cure. A program usually regarded as secular in inspiration - the creation of a racialist 'people's community' embracing antisemitism, antiliberalism and anti-Marxism - was, for these Nazis, conceived in explicitly Christian terms. His examination centers on the concept of 'positive Christianity,' a religion espoused by many members of the party leadership. He also explores the struggle the 'positive Christians' waged with the party's paganists - those who rejected Christianity in toto as foreign and corrupting - and demonstrates that this was not just a conflict over religion, but over the very meaning of Nazi ideology itself.
Die evangelische Sozialethik befindet sich in einer Umbruchsituation: Eine Vielzahl alter und neuer Themen fordert zur Urteilsbildung heraus, der Bedarf an ethisch unterrichteter Beratung in der Öffentlichkeit ist hoch, in Universitäten wird Wissenstransfer zu einer Kernkompetenz neben Lehre und Forschung. Auch in den Medien ist ethische Expertise gefragt, wobei seltener auf die Stimmen theologischer Ethik gehört wird, nicht zuletzt weil der Einfluss der Kirchen zurückgeht. Vor diesem Hintergrund unternimmt der vorliegende Band den Versuch einer Standortbestimmung, indem ausgehend von historischen Traditionslinien nach Bedeutung und Rolle evangelischer Sozialethik gefragt wird und exempl...

"In der Gründungsphase der Bundesrepublik prägten zahlreiche protestantische Initiativen die gesellschaftliche Neuorientierung in Deutschland mit. Die Gründung des Deutschen Evangelischen Kirchentags, die Verbreitung der Idee einer Evangelischen Akademie, Zeitschriften wie 'Christ und Welt' und das 'Sonntagsblatt' sowie Studieneinrichtungen und Lexikonprojekte bilden die spezifische Gestalt des Protestantismus in der frühen Bundesrepublik ab. Sabrina Hoppe beleuchtet den Anspruch und das Selbstverständnis dieses gesellschaftlich engagierten Protestantismus aus netzwerkanalytischer Perspektive und beschreibt seine Rolle in den Debatten um die sozialethischen Transformationsprozesse der Bundesrepublik. Ausgehend von der Analyse der protestantischen Netzwerke um Eberhard Müller und Friedrich Karrenberg widmet sie sich dem Selbstverständnis des Protestantismus in seiner Doppelgestalt zwischen vermittelndem Forum und meinungsbildendem Faktor."--
This volume examines selected works of German literature from Gustav Freytag to Joseph Goebbels in relation to ethical, socio-economic, and political texts from the economic «take off» period in the middle of the nineteenth century up to the rise of National Socialism and investigates two aspects of anti-Semitic anti-capitalistic representations contained therein. First it traces how the Jews gained the dubious distinction of being the inventors, even embodiment, of capitalism and elaborates on negative traits assigned to both of them. Second it examines how representations of specifically Jewish capitalists were instrumentalized both to discredit laissez faire and simultaneously to assist in the definition of a specifically «German» socio-economic ethos.
"Paul Silas Peterson presents Karl Barth (1886-1968) in his sociopolitical, cultural, ecclesial, and theological contexts from 1905 to 1935. In the foreground of this inquiry is Barth's relation to the features of his time, especially radical socialist ideology, WWI, an intellectual trend that would later be called the Conservative Revolution, the German Christians, the Young Reformation Movement, and National Socialism."--From back of book.
