Description

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.
