As Adolf Hitler strategised his way to power, he knew that it was necessary to gain the support of theology and the Church. This study begins two hundred years earlier, however, looking at roots of theological anti-Semitism and how Jews and Judaism were constructed, positively and negatively, in the biblical interpretation of German Protestant theology. Following the two main streams of German theology, the salvation-historical and the Enlightenment-oriented traditions, it examines leading exegetes from the 1750s to the 1950s and explores how theology legitimises or delegitimises oppression of Jews, in part through still-prevailing paradigms. This is the first comprehensive analysis of its kind, and the result of the analysis of the interplay between biblical exegesis and attitudes to Jews and Judaism is a fascinating and often frightening portrait of theology as a servant of power. This book is also available in paperback.

The Quran is a sacred book with profound, and familiar, Old and New Testament resonances. And the message it promulgated, Islam, came of age during an extraordinarily rich era of interaction among monotheists. Jews, Christians, and Muslims not only worshipped the same God, but shared aspirations, operated in the same social and economic environment, and sometimes lived side by side, indistinguishable by language, costume, or manners. Today, of course, little of this commonality is apparent, and Islam is poorly understood by most non-Muslims. Entering Islam through the same biblical door Muhammad did, this book introduces readers with Christian or Jewish backgrounds to one of the world's largest, most active, and--in the West--least understood religions. Frank Peters, one of the world's leading authorities on the monotheistic religions, starts with the central feature of Muslim faith and life: the Quran. Across its pages move Adam, Noah, Abraham, David, Solomon, John the Baptist, Jesus, and the Virgin Mary. The Quran contains remarkably familiar accounts of Genesis, the Flood, Exodus, the Virgin Birth, and other biblical events. But Peters also highlights Muhammad's very different use of Scripture and explains those elements of the Quran most alien to Western readers, from its didactic passages to its remarkable poetry. Peters goes on to cogently explain Islam's defining features--including the significance of Mecca, the manner of Muhammad's revelations, and the creation of the unique community of Muslims, all in relation to the Judeo-Christian tradition. He compares Jesus and Muhammad, describes Islamic commandments and rituals, details the structures of Sunni and Shi'ite communities, and lays out central Islamic beliefs on war, women, mysticism, and martyrdom. The result is a crucial and extremely accomplished book that offers Western readers a professional yet highly accessible understanding of Islam, and at a time when we need it most.

Bevor der NS-Staat die Juden ermordete, raubte er sie aus. Protagonist in diesem Vorstadium der Vernichtung war der Fiskus: Er diskriminierte die Opfer durch Steuern und Sonderabgaben, beschlagnahmte und verwertete ihr Vermögen. Dass auch die Finanzbeamten die antisemitische NS-Politik unterstützten, hat die Forschung lange Zeit übersehen. Die vorliegende Studie schließt diese Lücke. Auf der Basis zahlreicher, zum Teil erst seit kurzem erschlossener Quellen rückt sie den Fiskus als Täter der Judenverfolgung in Bayern in den Mittelpunkt und untersucht die verheerenden Folgen für die Opfer. Die Ergebnisse sind eindeutig: Die finanziellen Interessen des Staates und der radauantisemitische Radikalismus gingen Hand in Hand und verstärkten den Verfolgungsdruck auf die jüdische Bevölkerung immens. Ausgeübt wurde er von einer unseligen Allianz zwischen der klassischen Bürokratie und dem Verfolgungsapparat von Partei und Gestapo. So wandelt sich das Bild der traditionellen Finanzbehörde vom neutralen Befehlsempfänger zu einem zentralen Akteur der Judenverfolgung und zu einer tragenden Stütze des NS-Regimes.
