- Summary:
- Church Resistance to Nazism in Norway, 1940-1945 examines the evolution of the Lutheran stat Church of Norway in response to the German occupation. While German Protestant churches generally accepted Nazism and state incorporation, Norway's churches rejected both Nazism and ideological alignment with it. Arne Hassing moves through the history of the Church of Norway's relationship to the Nazi state from its initial confused complicities to its open resistance and separation. He writes engagingly of the people at the center of this struggle and reflects on how the resistance affected postwar relations between church and state. Book jacket.
