Quotes

 * "The theology of the German Christians is by its nature the work of the eternal Father. The differences between races are willed by Him. A human being may never set his political commitments above the guidelines the Almighty has established. Even though the creation is fallen, God still permits us to perceive the traces of his plan again and ever again. For us German Christians this generates a new theological attitude vis-à-vis history, according to which Christ functions as the eternal King of truth who embraced the cross as the sign of militant heroism and a joyful willingness to sacrifice himself.", Friedrich Wieneke.
