Beskrivelse
The Reverend Jorgen Glenthoj describes the history of the Danish Lutheran Church during the German occupation of Denmark.The Danish Church became the center of resistance against the Nazi rule.Contrary to the too often repeated and uncritically accepted maxim that the theological and political traditions of Lutheranism contributed to the consolidation of Hitler's totalitarian state,Scandinavian Lutheranism constituted a bastion of resistance around which all opposition forces could rally.
