For God or Caesar? A Study of Americas' Church Reaction to Religious Persecution in the Third Reich

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This study is an account of American Church reaction, Protestant and Roman Catholic, to the persecution of Christians and Jews in Nazi Germany. Reports and comments about the crisis of Church and State in Hitlerdom from January, 1933, through 1939 were drawn from six religious publications, three Protestant and three Catholic, in the belief that they reflected a broad spectrum of American Church reaction. These journals are: The Christian Century. The Lutheran. The Lutheran Witness. The Commonweal. America, and The Catholic World.
