A project I contributed to has resulted in a DVD and study guide based on the 1985 book by Robert Ericsksen, Theologians Under Hitler. Ericksen reviews the capitulation of three prominent theologians to the designs of Adolf Hitler. The three infamous scholars are Paul Althaus, Emanuel Hirsch, and THE Gerhard Kittel of the 10-volume Theological Dictionary of the New Testament fame. A group of 14 Christians from various denominations together with two Jewish participants sought to answer the questions, “How Could This Happen?” and “How Can We Ensure It Never Happens Again?”
The result of this collaborative effort has also produced “The Nashville Declaration,” which will be accepted into the official archive of the National Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. this week, which is the occasion for my absence. I will try to see Mark Dever during my visit and force him to answer any question I pose to him.
Off to D.C for Theologians Under Hitler and the Nashville Declaration. Back on Wednesday.
