THE HOLY REICH
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 par-
ticipants 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 "peoples' com-
munity" embracing antisemitism, antiliberalism, and anti-Marxism - was, for these
Nazis, conceived in explicitly Christian terms. His examination centers on the con-
cept 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 a conflict not just over religion, but over the very
meaning of Nazi ideology itself.
Richard Steigmann-Gall is Assistant Professor of History at Kent State University.
He has earned fellowships and awards from institutions in Germany, Israel, and
Canada, and he has published articles in
Central European History, German History,
Social History,
and
