Christian Nationalism

[Valerie]

I guess we could call it post Christian Nationalism. I think most looking back agree German nationalism in the 30's was headed in a un-Christian direction but the question that haunts me is how many Christians could see it at the time.

Quite a few did - who found themselves imprisoned or silenced.

Spiritual discernment. If one is born again and led by the Spirit.

Where can I read about this?

I think it is safe to say a minority of Christians saw danger great enough to separate from it.

They referred to themselves as "The Confessing Church." Dietric Bonhoeffer was a prominent member. He was involved with an underground Christian community that was sort of like a cross between a seminary and a monastary. He wrote a book a out his experience there called "Life in Community".

I'm not sure what other sources, but I'm sure there are some books that cover "The Confessing Church."

The Barmen Declaration referenced in one of the threads here is a good place to start.

Martin Niemöller - not a member of the Confessing Church, but a man who repented of his complicity.
