If asked to define "Nazism," most people think of fascism, racism,
antisemitism, and the use of propaganda. Few people know that
Nazism also included a strong religious component. Yet it did. The
Nazi religion was termed Positive Christianity, and it is directly
cited in Hitler's Nazi Party Platform of 1920. But what was
Positive Christianity? In this book, Kathleen Burton details when
and where this religion was embraced; how it was received and
critiqued by the prominent theologians of the 1930s; and how a
combined effort of rogue Catholic priests and Protestant pastors in
France, aware of the religious threat, worked together to fight
Nazism during World War II. This contributed to the survival of
seventy-five percent of France's Jewish population. Burton
concludes by describing what work still needs to be done to fully
understand, clarify, and debunk Nazism's Positive Christianity.
Today's world is fascinated by the tragic events of World War II,
yet Hitler's propaganda coup against traditional Christianity is
not well-known or understood. This book closes that gap.
