The vast majority of the victims were Jewish, but the ranks of the oppressed included disabled persons, gays and lesbians, and political dissenters.

By Annika Brockschmidt

…eich” from Jesus, and that, therefore, the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany was in accordance with divine will.

…ch Weinel, who helped to found something called the Freie Volkskirche (the Free People’s Church), a hotbed of theological liberalism and social democratic reform in early-twentieth-century Germany, saw it differently. He argued that Galatians 3:28 was at the heart of Paul’s radical social vision—even if his own nerves would not quite tolerate the fullness of that vision in real time.2 Today, most scholars do not deny the radical social and politic…

Why I Boycotted a Conference at Brigham Young University
