Book Description
Excerpt from Christian Life in Germany: As Seen in the State and the Church The number of English speaking youth in the Universities and Technical Schools in Germany is in. Creasing every year. It is interesting to know what kind of religious influences are within their reach even if in their student life they do not yield to these influ ences. Great Britain and America owe a debt of gratitude to Germany for the literature she has fur nished their people, for the contributions she has made to Christian song, and for her devotion to higher Christian learning. In the attention given to the results of special studies, particularly to the re sults of the so=called Higher Criticism, both countries are in danger Of overlooking equally important con tributions in practical Christian work. Few people either in Great Britain or in America realize the ex tent and importance of the Foreign Missionary work which the German Churches are carrying on, or of that still more wonderful home work which is em braced under the general term Inner Mission (die innere Mission).

Book Description
Contemporaries and historians have found it difficult to interpret the ambiguous relationship between National Socialism and Christianity. Both the Catholic and Protestant Churches tended to agree with National Socialists in their authoritarianism, their attacks on socialism and communism, and their campaign against the Versailles Treaty; but the doctrinal position of the Churches could not be reconciled with the principle of racism, a foreign policy of unlimited aggressive warfare, or a domestic agenda involving the complete subservience of Church to State. Important sections of the Nazi Party sought the complete extirpation of Christianity and its substitution by a purely racial religion, but considerations of expediency made it impossible for the National Socialist leadership to adopt this radical anti-Christian stance as official policy. The Kulturkampf Newsletters, which have not appeared in English since the 1930s, were produced by German Catholic exiles in France. They scrupulously document the tensions between various strands of Nazi policy, and the nature of the policy eventually adopted: this was to reduce the Churches' influence in all areas of public life through the use of every available means, yet without provoking the difficulties - diplomatic as well as domestic - which an openly declared war of extermination might have caused.
