| Summary |
Examines the influence of racism on Christian theology since the rise of scientific racism and the creation of the Aryan myth. Analyzes five images of Christ affected by racism, two of which focus on antisemitism. Ch. 2 (p. 27-53), "The Germanic Christ", traces the influence of romantic nationalism, which saw Germany as a uniquely spiritual nation and drew on German Protestant pietism in creating an antisemitic Christian mythology of the mission of the German race. Surveys Christian elements in the ideas of atheistic figures such as Lagarde and Chamberlain. Lutheran political theologians, such as Sṯcker, paved the way for the racialization of German Protestantism in the Third Reich. Ch. 3 (p. 55-73), "The Latin Christ", describes similar developments in French Catholicism, where racism and antisemitism were linked to the political struggle of the Church against the anticlerical republic, identified with a Jewish-Masonic conspiracy. Thus, Drumont presented the Jew as both the religious and the racial enemy of France. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism) |
