Abstract:
|
Emil Fuchs (1874-1971) was the first Lutheran
pastor to join the Social Democratic Party in Germany after World War I. He was
a pacifist and became a member of the Society of Friends in 1925. Six years
later he was appointed a Professor of Religious Science at Kiel, but was
dismissed and briefly imprisoned by the Nazis. The religious writings in this
collection were prepared mostly in the 1930's and are in mimeographed form. The
autobiographical work was revised and published as Mein Leben (Leipzig,
1957-59) and a shorter form was published in English as a Pendle Hill pamphlet,
Christ in Catastrophe (Wallingford, Pa., 1949). |

Emil Fuchs (1874-1971) became the first Lutheran pastor after World
War I in Germany to join the Social Democratic Party, and he also joined a
group known as the Religious Socialists. Fuchs became a pacifist, and in 1925,
he became a Quaker. In 1931 he was appointed a professor of religious science
at the Teachers' Training College in Kiel. Fuchs was dismissed from his
professorship by the Nazis and briefly imprisoned, and his family also
suffered. After the war he taught for the year 1948-1949 at Pendle Hill, the
Quaker study center at Wallingford, PA. Later in 1949, he accepted an
appointment as Professor of Theology at the University of Leipzig.
