Germany’s New Religion

Various authors

From the introduction: “So short a book as this does not, of course, make it possible to see all sides and aspects of the conflict which is raging at present in Germany between Christianity and the new religion. But it touches on all the cardinal points at issue, and the three protagonists have their say. In the first place Hauer describes the origin and sketches the aims of his movement, sets forth in outline his criticisms of Christianity and his positive contribution to religious thought, and defines his attitude to Christianity in general and to Jesus Christ in particular. Heim’s article addresses a perceived weakness in Hauer’s view of moral responsibility, and elucidates the fundamental point of difference between the German Faith Movement and Protestant Christianity. Lastly, Karl Adam expressly refuses to be drawn into the methods of controversy, and therefore does not deal in detail with the points raised by Hauer, but rather sets forth in positive form the Roman Catholic doctrine on the issues raised by the appearance of the new movement.”
