| Summary: | Alfred D. Müller (1890-1972), was Professor of Practical Theology at Leipzig University whose reputation rested on his being able to establish Practical Theology as an independent discipline. He is well-known for his support of Religious Socialism both before and after the first world war, as also for his enthusiasm for liturgical reforms. But the fact that in 1937 he wrote a book on ethics which displayed his sympathies for the central tenets of Nazism is hardly noticed. Even if we can reckon that his contemporaries were aware of his political sympathies in the 1930s, this does not appear at all in the literature on the post-1945 theological discussions. This article looks at his Ethics and especially on his treatment of such subjects as Race, Volk, State and Judaism. Certainly Müller seems to have deplored the major Nazi crimes which took place after 1937; nevertheless his writings raise a number of questions about his ethical, systematic and political views. As a theologian he would seem to be a more complex figure than has been thought before. |
