The little-known story of expatriate German theologian Paul Tillich's radio addresses from America to the German people in the depths of World War II, exhorting them to name and reject the false idol that was holding them hostage and driving millions of people to death. In this episode Dad and I explore how Tillich drew on the depths of the Bible's prophetic speech to analyze the Third Reich and the Germans' own complicity with it, the uniqueness of that situation, and what we might be able to learn from it.
Notes:
1. Tillich, Against the Third Reich
2. If you read no other book by Dad, be sure to read this one: Before Auschwitz
3. Related episode: Before Auschwitz, Hannah Arendt, Reinhold Niebuhr
