Christian Theology Against Apocalyptic Fascism

A conference volume from the Institute for Theory and Politics (ITP) in Münster, published in 2024, reinterprets the biblical concept of 'apocalypse' as 'revelation' rather than collapse. The book, titled 'Warum die Theologie nicht klein und hässlich sein muss', draws on Walter Benjamin's 1940 text 'On the Concept of History' to argue that Christian tradition can counter reactionary end-time fascism by offering hope instead of decline. The volume emerged from an ITP symposium and engages political-theological questions at a time of perceived crisis.
