Biblical ABCs is a theological resistance primer. Its author,
Kornelis Heiko Miskotte, was a Dutch pastor, theologian, and
antifascist who lived and worked under the Nazi occupation of his
country. Miskotte's family hid Jews inside their home, and Miskotte
facilitated underground Christian discussion groups. In 1941, he
published an illegal pamphlet as a study guide for these groups. In
an atmosphere saturated with propaganda and lies, Miskotte felt
that Christians needed a refresher course in the basics of biblical
language-an anti-Nazi catechism, as it were. Miskotte presents this
instruction in twelve brief, poetic meditations on important terms
drawn from the Bible. Like his teacher Karl Barth, Miskotte insists
on the primacy of the Word, and like his imprisoned colleague
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, he emphasizes the this-worldliness of the Old
Testament. Miskotte also shows his deep debt to the Jewish
theologian, Franz Rosenzweig. He begins his primer with the A of
the biblical ABCs: the Name of God, the Tetragrammaton, which
Miskotte sees as the cornerstone of all resistance to
authoritarianism and truth decay.
