{"product_id":"9781107385825","title":"The Holy Reich: Nazi Conceptions of Christianity, 1919-1945","description":"Analyzing the previously unexplored religious views of the Nazi elite, Richard Steigmann-Gall argues against the consensus that Nazism as a whole was either unrelated to Christianity or actively opposed to it. He demonstrates that many participants in the Nazi movement believed that the contours of their ideology were based on a Christian understanding of Germany's ills and their cure. A program usually regarded as secular in inspiration - the creation of a racialist 'people's community' embracing antisemitism, antiliberalism and anti-Marxism - was, for these Nazis, conceived in explicitly Christian terms. His examination centers on the concept of 'positive Christianity,' a religion espoused by many members of the party leadership. He also explores the struggle the 'positive Christians' waged with the party's paganists - those who rejected Christianity in toto as foreign and corrupting - and demonstrates that this was not just a conflict over religion, but over the very meaning of Nazi ideology itself.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47117266026736,"sku":"9781107385825","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781107385825_p0.jpg?v=1763690769","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781107385825","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
