DIE STUNDE DER VOLKSMISSION - HENNING BÜHMANN G...

In launching the National Mission (Volksmission) over 100 years ago  the German Evangelical
Churches hoped to spread the Gospel and stabilize a society ravaged by war and domestic
instability. Henning Bühmann traces the development of Protestant missionary thinking in
Germany between 1916 and 1934  concentrating on the activities of the Central Committee of the
Home Mission (Central-Ausschusses der Inneren Mission). He traces the increasingly nationalist
tone adopted by the missionaries and their failure to halt the tide of secularism. The author
concludes that the eventual collapse of the missionary movement was due less to the new
political atmosphere which followed the establishment of the Third Reich than the internal
contradictions of the Volksmissionsbewegung itself.
