This study of Protestantism in Nazi Germany examines the history of Christianity in the relationship between theology and politics, particularly the encounter between German Protestantism and National Socialism. Opening up a comparative viewpoint from which to address the strengths and weaknesses of the individual responses, the authors examine five Protestant or National Socialist types: they are represented by the confessional position of Karl Barth, the neo-Conservative Paul Althaus, the National Socialist Emanuel Hirsch, the Liberal Martin Rade, and the religious Socialist Paul Tilich.
