Before Auschwitz

Theology

“Historians find in early twentieth-century Germany a compelling backdrop for questions of politics, culture, and everyday life. Theologians recognize it as a time of nearly unrivaled creativity and productivity. But few historians register theological nuance, and few theologians attend to historical context. Before Auschwitz is exciting for being the rare book that does both. Hinlicky asks how theology was at work in this history and what this history means for contemporary theology.”
