What did German preachers opposed to Hitler say in their Sunday sermons? When the truth of Christ could cost a pastor his life what words encouraged and challenged him and his congregation? This book answers those questions. Preaching in Hitler's Shadow begins with a fascinating look at Christian life inside the Third Reich giving readers a real sense of the danger that pastors faced every time they went into the pulpit. Dean Stroud pays special attention to the role that language played in the battle over the German soul pointing out the use of Christian language in opposition to Nazi rhetoric. The second part of the book presents thirteen well-translated sermons by various select preachers including Dietrich Bonhoeffer Karl Barth Rudolf Bultmann and others not as well known but no less courageous. A running commentary offers cultural and historical insights and each sermon is preceded by a short biography of the preacher.
