The Christian Humanist ideas of six Catholic scholars who were based in Munich during the first half of the 20th century are profiled in this volume. They were all interested in presenting and defending a Christian humanism in the aftermath of German Idealism and the anti-Christian humanism of Friedrich Nietzsche.

They were seeking to offer hope to Christians during the darkest years of the Nazi regime and the post-Second World War era of shame, guilt and reconstruction.

Critics praise Rowland's work as a valuable and illuminating resource exploring the impact of theology on personal identity and ideology. Reading Religion highlights its relevance to historical and contemporary discussions, while The Heythrop Journal commends her success in unpacking the key themes of the scholars studied. Emery de Gaal notes Rowland's deep cultural knowledge and calls the book a precious contribution filling a notable gap in understanding the Catholic intellectual resistance to National-Socialism.
