Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The German Obsession
Dr. Preuss, the theologian, has written The Ger man people are the spiritual, the religious parallel of the people of Israel, they are 'the true Israel be gotten of the spirit.' And again, It was the hid den meaning of God that He made Israel the fore runner of the Messiah, and in the same way He has, by His hidden intent, designated the German peo ple to be His successor. What diabolical sacrilege! What insufferable national conceit and psycholog ical viciousness! But to prove that the sentiment is general, one has only to consult the German press, clerical and state utterances and Reichstag delib erations. Francke said, German craving for truth and German strength of faith working along Bib lical paths have attained to the true faith, the pure religiousness The Germans are the very nearest to the Lord and may claim that they have 'continued His Word.'
