| Summary: | In Faith and Fatherland, Kyle Jantzen has produced a thoroughly engaging study of the German Lutheran pastors under National Socialism. By contrast to the traditional “top down” institutional narratives on the Kirchenkampf (German Church Struggle), Jantzen has produced a “bottom up” work that centers on the choices made by ordinary parish pastors under Hitler's rule. As his point of departure, Jantzen examines Lutheran pastors working in three Church districts: Nauen, located northwest of Berlin in Brandenburg; Pirna, southeast of Dresden in Saxony; and Ravensburg, in southern Württemberg. Throughout his work, Jantzen convincingly compares and contrasts the response of the clergy in these diverse geographic areas. |
