- W1497164090 abstract "This fascinating and often disturbing book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the Nazi-era Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Church Life. Established in 1939 by radical German-Christians, the Institute sought to make the Church a full partner in the Nazi crusade against Jewry. Its goal was a “Germanic” Christianity closed to “non-Aryans” and cleansed of all “Jewish influence.” Its chosen means included faux-scholarly conferences and publications, workshops, public lectures, and a variety of devotional materials. The latter included a “de-Judaized” redaction of the New Testament; the Old Testament was simply rejected out of hand. While the broad outlines have long been known, Susannah Heschel has uncovered a wealth of new information about the Institute's origins, funding, programs, and leading personalities. Drawing on years of research in a host of archives, she argues that the Institute was more active, its influence more widespread, and its efforts to “de-Judaize” Christianity much closer to the Protestant mainstream than has often been assumed. Her account illuminates the ways in which the Institute exploited academic culture to legitimate its cause. Many of its leading figures were university professors. Walter Grundmann, for example, arguably the Institute's spiritus rector, was a protégé of the eminent Tübingen New Testament scholar Gerhard Kittel and—thanks largely to high-level Nazi and German-Christian connections—a tenured member of the Jena Theological Faculty. The academic veneer helped buttress the Institute's claims to promote serious theological research, its principal raison d'être after 1941. Subsidized conference participation and publication provided opportunities for younger scholars, many of them the doctoral students of the directors, to establish their credentials. The result was a network of collaboration and patronage that extended across the Reich and beyond, from Lund in Sweden to ethnic German enclaves in Romania." @default.
