Abstract
Germany was under a totalitarian regime led by Adolf Hitler
from 1933 to 1945. This article looks at the responses of the
churches in Germany during that period. In particular, Karl
Barth’s theology on church and state is examined to determine
to what extent it did assist Germany in fighting National
Socialism and in rebuilding Germany after the war. The author
is of the view that most of Barth’s insights could be relevant
and would be applicable today especially in those countries
that are still being ruled by autocrats and dictators.
