Exploring the link between German biblical interpretation and anti-Semitism, this book is a fresh, comprehensive study of leading German exegetes, concluding that although Nazism brought anti-Semitic exegesis to a head, age-old thought structures provided powerful legitimation for oppression.
Adolf Schlatter
Author: Werner Neuer
Publisher: Baker Publishing Group (MI)
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Trying to reconcile Adolf Schlatter's theological profundity with his unfortunate obscurity has proven puzzling to a host of scholars. How could this great German theologian and author, with over 400 publications to his credit, be so overlooked by American Christians? In an effort to introduce Schlatter to a new generation of English-speaking believers, Robert Yarbrough has provided this easy-to-read translated biography of "one of the greatest biblical theologians of the twentieth century". Adolf Schlatter (1852-1938) was a theological professor, writer, pastor, and speaker whose vision was for a more intellectually vigorous and orthodox German Protestant theology. Adolf Schlatter is not a technical analysis of the theologian. Rather, Werner Neuer describes his biography as a "sketch" which introduces the man and the Christian in order to "do justice to Schlatter's significance for theology and church history". This sketch is complemented by sixty photographs and numerous excerpts from Schlatter's writings.

The Aryan Jesus
Author: Susannah Heschel
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691148058
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
Was Jesus a Nazi? During the Third Reich, German Protestant theologians, motivated by racism and tapping into traditional Christian anti-Semitism, redefined Jesus as an Aryan and Christianity as a religion at war with Judaism. In 1939, these theologians established the Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Religious Life. In The Aryan Jesus, Susannah Heschel shows that during the Third Reich, the Institute became the most important propaganda organ of German Protestantism, exerting a widespread influence and producing a nazified Christianity that placed anti-Semitism at its theological center. Based on years of archival research, The Aryan Jesus examines the membership and activities of this controversial theological organization. With headquarters in Eisenach, the Institute sponsored propaganda conferences throughout the Nazi Reich and published books defaming Judaism, including a dejudaized version of the New Testament and a catechism proclaiming Jesus as the savior of the Aryans. Institute members--professors of theology, bishops, and pastors--viewed their efforts as a vital support for Hitler's war against the Jews. Heschel looks in particular at Walter Grundmann, the Institute's director and a professor of the New Testament at the University of Jena. Grundmann and his colleagues formed a community of like-minded Nazi Christians who remained active and continued to support each other in Germany's postwar years. The Aryan Jesus raises vital questions about Christianity's recent past and the ambivalent place of Judaism in Christian thought.

Book Description
As an interpreter of Paul s letter, Schlatter endeavored to comprehend the apostle s message holistically and without strictures. Since the interpretation of Scripture, according to Schlatter, always serves the church, he saw himself and the church confronted by the redemptive and challenging message of the apostle . . . Based on what has been presented, he obviously thereby did us in the present volume a service for which we ought to be grateful, regardless of how distanced we are to Schlatter. " Peter Stuhlmacher, from the foreword.

The Salvation-Historical Fallacy?
Author: Robert W. Yarbrough
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004397558
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
New Testament scholarship since the Enlightenment is not quite like the histories tend to present it. It has not been the unfolding triumph of objective ''critical'' or ''historical'' thinkers over less progressive and dogmatically biased ''theological'' interests. Rather, in the same respective eras that ''critical'' thinkers like F.C. Bauer and R. Bultmann mapped out approaches to NT theology, responsible scholars from J.C.K. Hofmann to O. Cullmann have responded with viable programs of their own.This volume brings the ascendant Baur-Wrede-Bultmann line of analysis into dialogue with what may be called the salvation historical perspective, thus uncovering a line of inquiry that was significant in the past and may prove promising in the future.

Jewish Ways of Following Jesus
Author: Edwin Keith Broadhead
Publisher: Mohr Siebeck
ISBN: 9783161503047
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
In this study, Edwin K. Broadhead's purpose is to gather the ancient evidence of Jewish Christianity and to reconsider its impact. He begins his investigation with the hypothesis that groups in antiquity who were characterized by Jewish ways of following Jesus may be vastly underrepresented, misrepresented and undervalued in the ancient sources and in modern scholarship. Giving a critical analysis of the evidence, the author suggests that Jewish Christianity endured as an historical entity in a variety of places, in different times and in diverse modes. If this is true, a new religious map of antiquity is required. Moreover, the author offers a revised context for the history of development of both Judaism and Christianity and for their relationship.

The Holy Spirit and Christian Ethics in the Theology of Klaus Bockmuehl
Author: Annette M. Glaw
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1630873675
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Klaus Bockmuehl (1931-1989), former Professor for Systematic Theology at Regent College, Vancouver, published outstanding theological ethical works. The questions that Bockmuehl explored have not lost any relevance: How do we know what God's will is in a particular situation? Is Scripture sufficient for ethical decisions or should we listen to God? Does God even speak today? Is there a distinctive Christian ethic? Bockmuehl's central contribution can be found in his emphasis on the seminal role the Holy Spirit plays within Christian ethics, not only as the one who realizes the reign of God in the life of the individual but also as the one guiding the individual in a particular situation. This book is the first in-depth study of Bockmuehl, introducing readers to his theology and ethics, including a short biographical overview, delineating and appraising how he understands the role of the Holy Spirit in Christian ethics. It is not a book without criticism and its own creative contribution. Annette Glaw concludes her fascinating study with a proposal for a relational concept of the Holy Spirit as the loving presence of God in Christian ethics.

Salvation is from the Jews
Author: Anders Gerdmar
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004530142
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
“Unheil,” curse, disaster: according to German scholar Gerhard Kittel, this is the Jewish destiny attested to in scripture. Such interpretations of biblical texts provided Adolf Hitler with the theological legitimatization necessary to realizing his “final solution.” But theological antisemitism did not begin with the Third Reich. Ferdinand Baur’s nineteenth-century Judaism-Hellenism dichotomy empowered National Socialist scholars to construct an Aryan Jesus cleansed of his Jewish identity, building on Baur’s Enlightenment prejudices. Anders Gerdmar takes a fresh look at the dangers of the politicization of biblical scholarship and the ways our unrecognized interpretive filters may generate someone else’s apocalypse.
