The Aryan Jesus by Susannah Heschel
Christian Theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany
This compelling historical analysis delves into the disturbing intersection of religion and ideology in Nazi Germany, exploring how the regime sought to reshape Christianity to align with its racial doctrines. The narrative focuses on the Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Religious Life, revealing how scholars and theologians attempted to construct an "Aryan" version of Jesus, purged of Jewish elements, to support the Nazi agenda. Through meticulous research, the book uncovers the profound impact of these efforts on both religious thought and the broader socio-political landscape of the time.
