"While Hitler's Theology might seem narrow on the surface—narrowly centered on Nazism and on Catholic theology—it actually has profound relevance for modern social movements and for general understandings of culture. I immediately found ways to apply Bucher's thinking—and the thinking of Schmitt and Eric Voegelin—to my courses on anthropology and on violence....It reminds us that much important work is being done outside—but just outside—our discipline, and that all scholars share an interest in culture and cultural movements."
