1936

Lofthouse published a new study, Christianity in the Social State.1 ‘If there is one ideal’, he wrote there, ‘which can lift men to devotion and self-denial, it is a conception of the State which renounces all that religion, or at least Christianity, has held sacred in the past.’ The German state now represented an autocracy ‘curiously like that of the Russian Communists’, though where race and blood counted for nothing in Russia, they were all in Germany. Lofthouse was sure that this was a totalitarian state. As such it must be opposed, in every respect, to Christianity.2
