The only reason this book does not get five stars is that it can be rather heavy handed at times. It is not a light read. But it fills an interesting void in the study of Christians and the Third Reich; in this case that average German Christians did not take to wearing any kind of sack cloth for their support of [...] and his genocidal policies. What was striking to me was the attitudes of the Germans and comparing to the attitudes of many Southerners post Civil Rights era. Many still believe that slavery was biblically justified. I know from experience that many Germans even today still think the Jews are guilty of all sorts of heinous crimes.
