October Tuesday Evening Bible Study:Criminal Christologies:TheNazification
of Jesus.We will explore a “bent” tradition using Christian language and symbols. We will focus on Jesus' transmogrification by Nazi ideologues into a Teutonic Savior free of Jewish taint. Through the speeches and writings of Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, Alfred Rosenberg and Adolf Hitler the series will explore Nazi interpretations of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and how “Jesus” became useful to Nazi aims. Nineteenth century philosophical and theological underpinnings for a Nazi Christ will also be explored such as Nietzsche'sBirth and Genealogy of Morals.

On the whole I take it that middle age is a happier period than youth. In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter morning and evening—no days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air. ~Alexander Smith, "An Essay on an Old Subject"
