Bøker av Uwe Siemon-Netto

In the last several decades, many scholars have written on Martin Luther and his connection to Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. Myths have circulated that Luther was the spiritual ancestor of Hitler and was to blame for Hitler's rise to power. This book debunks those myths. In actuality, thousands of Germans were put to death for trying to overthrow the National Socialist tyranny--most of them Christian! The 3rd edition of The Fabricated Luther includes new images and added context of prominent figures Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Carl Friedrich Goerdeler. It also features illustrations to help explain Luther's theology. This group of men who died to protect their beliefs are examples of Luther's true theology and prove that Luther would never support Hitler. In addition, they show when it is appropriate to resist secular authority and in what ways.

Many Vietnam veterans felt and, in fact, still feel rejected by their God and the church and betrayed by their nation and even their families. Using themes from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology, Uwe Siemon-Netto explores the veterans' situation and argues for God's acquittal of the charge of abandoning the veterans during and after the war.
