Gerhard Kittels "Verteidigung"

Meer over het boek

s/t: Apologia of a Tubingen Theologian and New Testament Scholar, December 1946Both title and subtitle as well as text are presented in both German and EnglishThis is an extremely disturbing and outrageous text written by Gerhard Kittel, a German theologian and »Researcher on Judaism« who is still renowned worldwide, in 1945/46, immediately after the end of the Third Reich: a justification for his active involvement in the fascist regime. This text is now being published for the first time - extensively commented on and translated into English - as it throws a sharp light on German academics, who all-too-gladly worked on behalf of the Nazi regime. This diligence and the handling of one's own guilt (or alleged innocence) are reflected in this book.
