THE CHURCH AND THE POLITICAL PROBLEM OF OUR DAY
Hodder & Stoughton, 1939. First Edition. Paperback. First Edition, preceding the American Scribner's edition. Written in English. 87pp. Sewn binding in light blue French-flap wraps, printed in navy lettering. Just a bit of foxing, spine and edges toned, owner's name to FFEP d. Oct. 1939. Clean and sound internally. This vigorous Christian criticism of Nazi politics, and summons to political and military action against Nazism, is all the more weighty because it comes from a Swiss theologian who has always been singularly careful in drawing the line between theology and politics. Nazism, Dr. Barth holds, is not only an ' anti-Church fundamentally hostile to Christianity,' but also a ' fundamental dissolution of the just State, and the Church must not only itself seck to be more truly the Church in the face of this menace, but must also call upon the State to be more truly the State. In Switzerland this book has been widely discussed not only in religious periodicals but also in the daily press, particularly from the point of view of Swiss neutrality.' [A. N. Prior International Affairs]. VERY GOOD. Item #510938
