"Eberhard Busch makes an important contribution to our
understanding of the events in Germany that led to the writing of
the Barmen Declaration in 1934 -- the response of a small group of
Protestants to the emergence of Hitler and the Nazi Party. Even
more importantly, Busch demonstrates the relevance of Barmen for
many issues confronting the church today -- such issues as the
relation between Christians and Jews, the meaning of Christian
freedom, the church and its mission, the role of the laity, and the
task of the church in the political order. In Busch's able hands
Barmen becomes a living voice that is no less important for the
church today than it was for Christians in the 1930s." Reviews in
Religion and Theology
"Those seeking a concise yet thorough, normative Barthian
interpretation of the Barmen Confession need look no further than
Busch's work." Theology
"Busch's compact, accessible study is invaluable not only for those
interested in Jewish-Christian dialogue and in the history of the
churches during the Third Reich but also for Christians seeking to
develop a deeper understanding of the role of the churches in
society, especially during troubled times."
