Many have heard of church leaders who resisted the Nazi regime—names such as Bonhoeffer and Niemöller still inspire. But what of those who did not resist? How could so much of the German church, steeped in a rich Christian tradition and a deep intellectual culture, come to embrace Hitler’s vision? Drawing on Robert P. Ericksen’s Theologians Under Hitler, this five-week series examines how the Deutsche Christen (“German Christian”) movement and eminent theologians such as Gerhard Kittel, Paul Althaus, and Emanuel Hirsch bent Christian faith to serve Nazi ideology. Through presentation and discussion, we’ll consider how faith became an instrument of nationalism and hatred, and the sobering lessons this history still holds.

Historical narratives are simplifications but necessary ones. Otherwise, as one 19th century English scholar put it, “History becomes just one damn fact after another.” This course will focus on two of the grandest of all historical narratives. First, in the history of ideas, is the long and tortured road from the essentialist thinking of the ancient Greeks to modern existentialism. Second, is the development in recent decades of so-called Big History, which sees ALL history—natural as well as human, and from the Big Bang to current events—as a product of a common evolutionary process. Hold on to your hats!
