1:14:54Now PlayingWhat if the church didn’t fully reckon with its past after World War II?
In this episode of *The Faith Roundtable*, Josh Burtram sits down with historian Dr. Brandon Bloch (University of Wisconsin–Madison) to unpack the surprising and often uncomfortable truth about German Protestantism after Nazism. Based on his book *Reinventing Protestant Germany*, this conversation challenges the idea that the church simply repented and moved forward—and instead reveals the deep continuities that shaped post-war faith, politics, and identity.
You’ll discover:
* Why the “myth of resistance” in the German church is more complicated than we think
* How Christianity became intertwined with nationalism—and the dangers that created
* The role of human rights language in reshaping post-war Germany
* What American Christians should learn from this history today
* How faith can both guide—and blind—moral judgment in times of crisis
This episode is essential for anyone interested in theology, history, Christian nationalism, and the intersection of faith and politics.
