Surprising Aryan Mediations between German Indology and Nazism
Inventing ‘Paganists’
This article questions Richard Steigmann-Gall's claim that leading National Socialists were essentially ‘Christian’ and that neo-pagan ideas played an insignificant role in the ideology of nazism. This is done by examining the argument of Dr Goebbels' novel Michael. Ein deutsches Schicksal in Tagebuchblättern (1929) to reveal its anti-Christian structure. Speeches and other statements by and about Goebbels are then looked at to show that his work…
Sermons in Stone
John Ruskin’s comment that English Cathedrals are ‘Sermons in Stone’ applies equally well to parish churches and other ancient religious sites. This article explores the rich Christian heritage of Cumbria and seeks to encourage British Christians to recognize the rich cultural treasures that are all around them in the belief that an awakened sense of Christian history will help revive British Christianity by providing an evangelical resource that…
Jakob Wilhelm Hauer's New Religion and National Socialism
Jakob Wilhelm Hauer (1881–1962) was a missionary to India and later both a professor of religious studies at Tübingen and a founder of a new religion, called the German Faith Movement (Deutsche Glaubensbewegung, DGB). According to Hauer, his movement was the essence of National Socialism. Because some contemporary scholars try to distance Hauer's scholarship and the DGB from National Socialism, this paper reviews existing literature about the Hau…

The Great Treks
The mass migration of the Boer farmers from Cape Colony to escape British domination in 1835-36 - the Great Trek - has always been a potent icon of Africaaner nationalism and identity. For African nationalists, the Mfecane - the vast movement of the Black populations in the interior following the emergence of a new Zulu kingdom as a major military force in the early 19th century - offers an equally powerful symbol of the making of a nation. With …

Source Criticism and the Reconstruction of Reality A Reply to Brigitte Schoen and Hubert Seiwert
This paper responds to criticism of our earlier work on the German anticult debate by Ms. Schoen and Prof. Dr. Seiwert. In it we argue that Schoen misunderstood and misread our article as a result of her obsession with published texts. Both Schoen and Seiwert underestimate the importance of history in creating the ethos that shapes the German debate about new religions

A History of the Church in Africa
Translating the Devil
Facing the Truth
Rituals of Fertility and the Sacrifice of Desire
With close to one million members, the Church of the Nazarites (ibandla lamaNazaretha) is one of the most popular indigenous religious communities in South Africa. Founded in 1910 by Isaiah Shembe, it offers South Africans - particularly disadvantaged black women and girls - a way to remake and reconnect to ancient sacred traditions disrupted by colonialism and apartheid. Ethnomusicologist Carol Muller explores the everyday lives of Nazarite wome…
“ Verfassungsfeindlich “
This paper examines the ideology of the German anti-cult movement. It also discusses the unique problems facing the German government resulting from right-wing extremism and the role of German cult experts in defining new religions as verfassungsfeindlich, hostile to the constitution
The Story of Isaiah Shembe
Forty Lost Years
Forty Lost Tears is a penetrating analysis of the bleakest period of South African history: the long and violent reign of the National Party began with D. E Malan's surprise victory in the 1948 election and persisted until E W. de Klerk's concession of power and South Africa's first democratic election in 1994. Building on the author's earlier work on Afrikaner nationalism, this pioneering work explores the ongoing conflicts inside the National P…

New Religions as Global Cultures
Although the Great Anti-Cult Crusade links new religious movements to dangerous cults, brainwashing, and the need for deprogramming, Karla Poewe and Irving Hexham argue that many cults are the product of a dynamic interaction between folk religions and the teachings of traditional world religions. Drawing on examples from Africa, the United States, Asia, and Europe, they suggest that few new religions are really new. Most draw on rich, if localiz…

Some Aspects of Religion and Spiritual Healing in Cultsville, a Contemporary North American City
In many ways modern society resembles a large stone in an overgrown garden. The stone stands apart from the weeds. Its outline is clear and its surface smooth and clean. But if we turn the stone we find another world. This is a realm of slime with a host of creepy crawlies scrurrying to escape the light. Attempting to penetrate beyond the official rational scientific culture of modern society which, like the top-side of the stone, is visible to a…
