Apologetics Academy Offers Free Course Denying Christianity was Cause of Holocaust

MEDIA ADVISORY, April 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Athanatos Online Apologetics Academy is hosting a free course taught by Joe Keysor, the author of a book refuting the charge that Hitler was motivated by Christian principles and anti-semitism. Keysor's book, "Hitler, the Holocaust, and the Bible," will be available on Hitler's birthday, April 20th, 2009.
It seems impossible to believe that anyone could blame the rise of Nazism and the resulting Holocaust on Christianity but in fact the charge is becoming increasingly common. It seems that Christianity can be blamed for anything these days. If it can be believed that it is to blame for Hitler's Final Solution it can be believed that it is responsible for the milk that went bad in your refrigerator or the bill you forgot to pay last week. Nonetheless, the charge is not only being believed, it is circulating widely and popping up more and more, in large part because of the Internet.
Author Joe Keysor's book, "Hitler, the Holocaust, and the Bible: A Scriptural Analysis of Anti-Semitism, National Socialism, and the Churches in Nazi Germany" faces these accusations head on. Keysor documents the growing trend to pin the Holocaust on Christianity, rebuts the charge, and then proceeds to lay bare the real influences of Hitler and his Nazis.
Keysor's book is available direct from the publisher as well as through online retail outlets such as Amazon.com. The official website has more information about the book as well as how to purchase it: www.hitlerandchristianity.com.
Mr. Keysor is going beyond simply submitting his book as a correction to the persistent slanders on the matter. In association with the Athanatos Online Apologetics Academy, Mr. Keysor will interact with readers and interested parties directly in a FREE online course that begins on May 11th.
The free course at the virtual academy will follow the basic pattern of the book in documenting the charge, refuting the charge, and then showing what influences really were to blame for the Holocaust. A purchase of the book is not necessary to take the course. Readers may sign up for the course here.
The Athanatos Online Apologetics Academy's spring 2009 session begins on May 1st.
