Overview

The Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Religious Life, which was found on the 6th of May 1939 by the decision of several Protestant national churches, had more than 150 contributors, who strived for the Dejudaisation of Christianity. The existing research firstly proves that the idea of Dejudaisation has its origin in the religious worldview of the Protestant German Christian Church Movement. For the evidence that Jesus was an Aryan and the necessity of a Dejudaisation of Christianity, participating contributors used a religion comparative method of working, which was called the science of religion. This book provides therefore an input for the refurbishment of religion scientific history for the Third Reich and stresses at the same time that the term science of religion has different interpretations. Furthermore this church institution was understood as a part of the complex anti-Semitic Judenforschung in the Third Reich and not only as a ecclesiastical research institution without a connection to the development of science in Nazi Germany.
