Some twentieth century historians -- Christopher Browning and Benjamin Hett among them -- have implicitly or explicitly drawn analogies between Germany's walk into dictatorship and recent political developments in the United States, especially as they concern the dismantling of democracy and threats of violence. The German nationalist movement that lifted Hitler into power rejected rationality, with contempt for truth and reason. "Hitler lied all the time. Yet he also said clearly what he was doing and what he planned to do" (Hett). Facts did not matter as long as the message was simple and emotional. Parallels to the 2024 U.S. elections are undeniable. Since Christianity/churches in Germany had been so deeply affected and compromised by Nazism's völkisch ideology, after the war we saw an enormous output of studies and scholarship engaging the failures and shortcomings of the German churches and theology. As scholars still active in these (sub)fields, do we have an obligation to draw attention and parallels to today's toxic forms of White Christian Nationalism in the United States and beyond? There is certainly a growing number of engaged scholars, journalists, and activist Christians in the United States who have changed the public and scholarly discourse from "religious fundamentalism" to "White Christian Nationalism"—a necessary move to account for the radicalization and racialization of forms of Protestant Christianity. Is it helpful to push further the similarities (and differences) between the Nazi "Aryanization" of Christianity and the U.S. American nationalization of Christianity? Both are forms of racializing Christianity, though they also differ in terms of, for example, who they target and what kind of forms of government they aspire to. As scholars of "kirchliche Zeitgeschichte/contemporary church history," critical theologians, and observers of Christian movements past and present, what are our obligations in 2025 and beyond?
