Book of the Day: Catholic Theologians in Nazi Germany, by Robert A. Krieg. Publisher: Continuum.
The role of Christian theologians in Nazi Germany, including members of the Catholic Church, cannot be underestimated. The cooperation between Catholic leaders and Nazi leaders was conditioned in large part on the writings of Catholic theologians who paved the way for this to happen. Many theologians opposed the Nazis, but the writings of others helped make cooperation easier because they promoted a vision of Germany and Catholicism which fit the vision of the Nazis far too closely.
