Samuel Stefan Osusky was a leading intellectual in Slovak
Lutheranism and a bishop in his church. In 1937 he delivered a
prescient lecture to the assembled clergy, "The Philosophy of
Fascism, Bolshevism and Hitlerism", that clearly foretold the dark
days ahead. As wartime bishop, he co-authored a "Pastoral Letter on
the Jewish Question", which publicly decried the deportation of
Jews to Poland in 1942; in 1944 he was imprisoned by the Gestapo
for giving moral support to the Slovak National Uprising against
the fascist puppet regime. Paul R. Hinlicky traces the intellectual
journey with ethical idealism's faith in the progressive theology
of history that ended in dismay and disillusionment at the
revolutionary pretensions of Marxism-Leninism. Hinlicky shows
Osusky's dramatic rediscovery of the apocalyptic "the mother of
Christian theology", and his input into the discussion of the
dialectic of faith and reason after rationalism and fundamentalism.
