Description

Put into print for the first time in English, this short treatise, published during the Nazi Germany era lays out a rejection of religion, without a rejection of faith. It represents an example of one of the few state-supported forms of Deism but is not entirely Deistic, as it does not build this belief upon the idea that reason reveals faith, but that faith is a lens to regard an irrational world. In short it expounds upon the "Positive God-belief", what one could call Positive Theism. Toward the end of the war, as Kirchenkampf was well under way, a small portion of Germans turned away from the church but not of faith in a creator. Whether regarded as a piece of World War II history, a reflection on faith, a revival of non-Odinist paganism, or a return to pre-Christian sentiments of Dyēus Pətḗr, this book, though inflammatory, is a rare window into a 20th century rejection of mainline religion, as well as atheism.

Author Biography:

Dr. Heinz Bartsch was a writer and religious philosopher during the NSDAP era of Germany. Little is known about his works besides the two books he published on gottgläubig (the German "God-belief"), and his name is also shared by a number of other individuals who could not have been him at the time his works were published. He received his doctorate in philosophy from Leipzig University in 1937. He, along with several contemporaries tied to the German military and various publishing houses, laid out treatises of what came to be known as "Positive German God-belief", a faith movement of the time that had grown off, in part, those movements of Positive Christianity, as well as the early German Faith Movement.
