Abstract Dense, packed with detail, and exceedingly well researched, Matthew D. Hockenos's fine study is the first English language book to thoroughly address how German Protestants came to terms with their complicity in and complacency toward Nazi rule. By examining key Protestant leaders and theologians including Hans Asmussen, Karl Barth, Otto Dibelius, Hermann Diem, Hans Iwald, Hans Meiser, Martin Niemdller, Helmut Thielicke, and Theophil Wurm, Hockenos builds a master narrative of the key 1945-1950 period detailing the sometimes heartening, but more often times disappointing, postwar response of German Protestantism to its own actions and inactions during the Third Reich.
