Faith In Humanity Just Took Another Hit: A Horrifying Holocaust Revelation (CaPC)

4 Comments Posted by Derek Rishmawy on March 11, 2013

“Certain new theologians dispute original sin, which is the only part of Christian theology which can really be proved.” -G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

When even Holocaust historians are shocked at their own findings, you know the picture is horrifying. After 13 years of research, a group of historians studying at the Holocaust Memorial Museum released new estimates about the extent of human brutality and wide-scale involvement in the enslavement and degradation of their fellow humans in Nazi Germany.

You can read the rest of my piece over at Christ and Pop Culture.

Mr. Rishmawy I want to thank you for this article. I have, at least since my salvation, been baffled at our surprise and indignation at (fill in the blank) national or international tragedy/catastrophe. Heinous treatment of each other has been a constant, and will be a constant, in our history. I especially appreciate your reference to the human delusion that we can “educate” or “enlighten” our way out of the mess in which we find ourselves.

  Andy,
  Thanks a lot for stopping by to comment on the blog. I’m glad the article spoke to you. Human evil is still a mystery to me at times–the Gospel begins to shed light, and more importantly, give hope for it.
  Blessings,
  
  Derek

I'm the Director of College and Young Adult ministries at Trinity United Presbyterian Church. (Think non-ordained college pastor). I'm the husband of a very pretty lady named McKenna. I got my B.A. in Philosophy at UCI and my M.A. in Theological Studies (Biblical Studies) at APU. I love Jesus and more importantly Jesus loves me. Throw in too many books, coffee, craft beer, loud music and a picture starts to emerge. Also, sometimes Christ and Pop Culture lets me say things on their site.
