CHRISTIANITY's CRIMINAL HISTORY Vol. I 20 January 2020 (rev.) 106, 771 words 329 pages CHRISTIANITY’S CRIMINAL HISTORY Vol. I Karlheinz Deschner Front cover: 1957 copy by César Tort Sr. of Cain Slays Abel, an 1866 illustration by Gustave Doré. Daybreak Publications First edition, 2018 Second (expanded) edition, 2020 Soft cover ISBN: 978-0-359-12456-5 2 This free translation is dedicated to my German friend, Albus 3 4 EDITOR’S PREFACE Christianity is the greatest regression humanity has ever experienced: The Jew has thrown back humanity one and a half thousand years. —Hitler (Table Talk) The present book is an abridged translation of some chapters excerpted from the first volumes of Karlheinz Deschner’s ten-volume Kriminalgeschichte des Christentums (criminal history of Christianity). The original volumes in German, and also in the Spanish translation that I have been using, contain thousands of endnotes omitted here. This preliminary translation is only the first step for a more formal translation of Deschner’s magnum opus. I have added some headings as well as several illustrations with footnotes explaining them, as well as brackets translating German or Latin terms. Sometimes, I have omitted the ellipsis between unquoted paragraphs, and even dared to simplify a few phrases. I also replaced many instances of the author’s use of the word ‘pagan’ with terms like ‘Hellenes’, ‘advocates of Greco-Roman culture’, ‘classical culture’ or simply added quotation marks on the word ‘pagan’. Such editorial liberties moved me to use the initials of the author on the present book’s cover instead of his full name. My chosen term, Hellenes, requires some clarification. Those familiar with a pivotal essay of my website The West’s Darkest Hour, the long article ‘Rome against Judea; Judea against Rome’, know that the takeover of the Classical World by the Christians was mainly a takeover by non-Aryans.1 It cannot 5 be more significant, as Deschner writes, that before the introduction of the pejorative term pagan the non-Christians of the Roman Empire were called héllenes and éthne by the treatise writers of the 4th century. The expression hellénon éthne can be translated into modern English as ‘the Greek races’, that is, the white peoples. Therefore, instead of the author’s textual ‘pagan’ I chose the pre-derogatory term in the vernacular of the 4th century, ‘Hellenes’, right before the status of the white peoples was demoted unless they bent their knees to Jewish deities like Yahweh and his son Yeshu. White nationalists claim to be pretty knowledgeable about the Jewish question. But very few are aware that Jewish subversion started with Christianity. Who among the white nationalists knows the real history of Christianity? Who is aware that Christian fanatics destroyed the Greco-Roman world? As Catherine Nixey put it in The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World, a book published in 2017: In a spasm of destruction never seen before—and one that appalled many non-Christians watching it—during the fourth and fifth centuries, the Christian Church demolished, vandalized and melted down a simply staggering quantity of art. Classical statues were knocked from their plinths, defaced, defiled and torn limb from limb. Temples were razed to their foundations and burned to the ground. A temple widely considered to be the most magnificent in the entire empire was levelled. Many of the Parthenon sculptures were attacked, faces were mutilated, hands and limbs were hacked off and gods were decapitated. Some of the finest statues on the whole building were almost certainly smashed off then ground into rubble that was then used to build churches. Books—which were often stored in temples— suffered terribly. The remains of the greatest library in the 1 In addition to Evropa Soberana’s ‘Rome against Judea; Judea against Rome’ in my compilation The Fair Race’s Darkest Hour (also printed by Lulu, Inc., 2020), see also other essays by the same author, especially the articles in that book about the ethnic group of ancient Greeks and Romans. 6 ancient world, a library that had once held perhaps 700,000 volumes, were destroyed in this way by Christians. It was over a millennium before any other library would even come close to its holdings. Virtually all westerners ignore the apocalyptic catastrophe of early Christianity right after Constantine handed over the Roman Empire to his bishops. They know only the martyr myths (see the chapter ‘The Persecution of the Christians’ in this book), the pious legends, and the New Testament fiction they told us as children: subjects also discussed here. The author Karlheinz Deschner (1924-2014) was a liberal German. He spent the first sixty years of his life investigating the history of the Catholic Church before starting the ten volumes of his Kriminalgeschichte series, which only ended at ninety. The series is a more encyclopaedic treatise about the real history of Christianity than Nixey’s single book for the general public. Although Deschner’s knowledge was encyclopaedic, he did not read a book that would change my worldview. I refer to Richard Carrier’s On the Historicity of Jesus, published two months after Deschner died. Following the liberal Christians and secular exegetes, before reading it I assumed that to the New Testament narratives about Jesus, it was enough to subtract miracles and resurrections to give us a more or less historical portrait about the historical Jesus. Carrier’s work shows that all the narratives about Jesus, not just the supernatural, are probably the product of the literary fiction of the evangelist Mark (and those who later edited his gospel: Matthew, Luke and John). I started reading Deschner a couple of decades ago, when I was also a liberal. I would not wake on the Jewish question until a decade ago. But Deschner, like all Germans of our times who aspire to see their books in the bookstores, never woke up. He even criticised the most notorious anti-Semites in early Church history. This said, the difference between Deschner and liberal theologians like Hans Küng (The Church) and conservative historians like Paul Johnson (A History of Christianity) is that Küng and Johnson concealed a great deal of Christianity’s 7 criminal history. It is remarkable how Deschner, a scholar who abandoned the religion of our parents, was capable to see it in a way that Küng, Johnson, and other Christian historians would never dream of. After awakening to the realities of the Christian problem I realised that Deschner’s information, despite his mistaken point of view, can be rescued. It only has to be processed through the filter of someone who is racially awakened. Had Germany won the war, Deschner, who appears here in Nazi uniform when he was young, could have written his history from the National Socialist point of view. German holocausts Three holocausts with millions of victims each have been committed against the Germanic peoples. On my website we have talked about the genocide after 1945 when the Allies killed millions of defenceless Germans (see, e.g., the work of the American Thomas Goodrich). Historically, the genocide committed in Germany during the Thirty Years War is well known, but very few speak out about the other millions of Germans that Emperor Justinian killed in cold blood: the last pages of the present translation. If the white man discovered his history he would suddenly cross what we have been calling the psychological Rubicon. On the contrary: if the white man is currently committing ethno- suicide, it is because the System has lied to him about his history. The favourite method of the System is what we might call lying by omission: for example, not saying a word about what 8 happened in Germany in the late 1940s, or how Christianity was imposed on the white peoples. It was not enough for the Imperial Church to have destroyed the Greco-Roman world in the 4th and 5th centuries. In the 6th century, after the fall of Rome, Justinian, the Emperor of Constantinople went on to commit a direct holocaust against the Aryan race, which by then had already been established in the Italian peninsula. Deschner’s chapter that mentions this holocaust appears in Volume II, Die Spätantike (Late Antiquity), published in 1989. The full translated title is: ‘Late Antiquity. From the Catholic “children emperors” to the extermination of the Arian Vandals and Ostrogoths under Justinian I (527-565)’. These were the two Germanic peoples that the Emperor of Constantinople genocided during his military incursion in Italy and Africa. Anyone wishing to study this period more academically should obtain copies of the original German edition. This book only provides a taste of the flavour of Deschner’s monumental work.

This series focuses on the resulting diversity within Late Antique society, emphasizing cultural connections and exchanges; questions of unity and inclusion, alienation and conflict; and the processes of syncretism and change. By drawing upon a number of disciplines and approaches, this series sheds light on the cultural and social history of Late Antiquity and the greater Mediterranean world.

Tulinius September 2014 1 Abstract Eyrbyggja saga is thought to have been written at the monastery that was located at Helgafell on the south side of Breiðafjörður during the 13th century. Many have considered the saga to have had relatively little Christian influence due to its vivid descriptions of what is purported to be heathen objects and customs within the saga. Recent research has turned this view on its head, leading scholars to ponder where heathen influence ends and Christian begins. It is the purpose of this thesis to explore the idea that a Christian cleric modelled the saga based on the oral sources that he had at his disposal, weaving these sources together to suit his own aims. Rather than searching for the pagan and the Christian elements explicitly, the text will be inspected for one particular aspect of Latin education, well known to have been taught all over Europe at the time the saga is purported to have been written. This aspect is a part of the trivium of Latin learning, known as dialectic. The implications of this type of education is first inspected, then a text available and extremely popular during the time is consulted for an understanding of the content of this education, Boethius’ De topicis differentiis.

  • The Platonist Christianity of Marius Victorinus
    religions Article The Platonist Christianity of Marius Victorinus Stephen A. Cooper Department of Religious Studies, Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster, PA 17604-3003, USA; [email protected] Academic Editor: Warren Smith Received: 18 August 2016; Accepted: 20 September 2016; Published: 1 October 2016 Abstract: Marius Victorinus is the first representative of Platonist Christianity in the Latin church whose works display knowledge of Plotinus and Porphyry. Scholarship prior to the work of Pierre Hadot in the mid-twentieth century tended to treat him as an isolated figure, ignored by later Latin Christians who knew better how to moderate their Platonist borrowings. Scholars since then have been more willing to see Victorinus as earnest Christian who let himself be guided by the community standards of the church as laid out in the biblical canon and creedal definitions. Recent work on Victorinus’ sources has shown him to be more eclectic in his use of philosophical sources than previously thought and for that reason more creative in formulating his Platonist–Christian synthesis. After reviewing important lines of development in scholarship on Victorinus, this article focuses on his Platonist-inspired teaching about the soul as expressed in the three genres of his Christian works: theological treatises, hymns, and scriptural commentaries. The consistent “insider” stance of Victorinus in all of these different genres of theological writings suggests that the extremely Platonist character of his theology, when considered in light of

  • The Christianization of the Roman Empire 2
    The Christianization of the Roman Empire From Jesus to Constantine Terje Stenberg Master thesis in history Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History Faculty of Humanities UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Autumn 2020 The Christianization of the Roman Empire From Jesus to Constantine © Terje Stenberg 2020 “The Christianization of the Roman Empire” – From Jesus to Constantine Terje Stenberg http://www.duo.uio.no/ Abstract The Christians started out as a marginalized Jewish sect and grew to be the dominant religion in the Roman empire in a relatively short time. From there, Christianity came to shape the societies and cultures in both Europe and the Americas, making the Christianization of the Roman Empire one of the most pivotal moments in world history. Historians have tried to explain the rise of Christianity since Eusebius wrote his Church History. In 1996 the sociologist Rodney Stark published his book The Rise of Christianity: A Sociologist Reconsiders History in which he tried to explain the Christian success using theories from sociology. This thesis will look into the validity of using these sociological theories on the Graeco-Roman world, Stark’s use of estimates and growth rates to illustrate Christianity’s rise and his belief that Christianity was the beneficiary of the two great plagues that struck the Graeco-Roman world in the second and third centuries AD. In addition, it will be made an attempt to offer alternative estimates for the number of Christians in the Graeco-Roman world. I II Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Knut Ødegård for helping me to narrow down the theme for this thesis into something manageable, reading my drafts, and making a number of helpful comments.

  • Masters of Eloquence and Masters of Empire: Quintilian in Context
    Masters of Eloquence and Masters of Empire: Quintilian in Context A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics of the College of Arts and Sciences by Kyle Helms A.A. Santa Fe Community College B.A. University of Florida M.A. University of Iowa M.A. University of Cincinnati April 2016 Committee Chair: Daniel Marković, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation focuses on the curious situation of the Latin rhetor Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (b. ca. 35 CE). In the early 70s CE, Quintilian received an annual salarium of 100,000 HS from the emperor Vespasian. As a result, Quintilian is commonly cited in classical scholarship as Rome’s “first public professor of rhetoric” or “first state professor.” But while this feature of Quintilian’s biography is often repeated, it is seldom explained. Essentially, previous scholarship has offered two interpretations of Quintilian’s situation, either creating a genealogy for public higher education in the first century CE, or emphasizing imperial euergetism and liberalitas. While the latter approach is on the right track, it does not explain why a Latin rhetor in particular should have been the object of such benevolence, and nearly all scholarship on the topic emphasizes the novelty of Quintilian’s situation, but without sustained inquiry into historical precedents. This study reconsiders this problem by examining the relationship between Latin rhetorical education and Roman political power diachronically, beginning with the advent of Latin rhetors in the 90s BCE and concluding with Quintilian himself.

  • Latin Christian Literature I: Polemical and Theological Writings
    1 Latin Christian Literature I: Polemical and Theological Writings Josef Lössl Three areas spring immediately to mind when considering the context of Augustine’s intellectual endeavour with a focus on polemical and theological writings in early Latin Christian literature, 1) Tertullian, Cyprian, Novatian, and the third/early fourth century apologists, 2) the aftermath of the Arian controversy that saw the rise of writers such as Hilary of Poitiers and Ambrose of Milan, and 3) Augustine’s own time with its various controversies, against Manichaeans, Donatists, Pelagians and writings related to the on- going discussions about the nature of God and Christ, in the aftermath of the Council of Constantinople (381) and in the run-up to the Councils of Ephesus (431) and Chalcedon (451). It makes sense to link the terms “polemical” and “theological” in this context, since early Christian theological writing emerged from a polemical discourse both within the early Church – against heretics – and without – against Jews and pagans – which was at the same time a process of delimitating the Church’s “true doctrine” against heresies as well as against non-Christian religious teachings and practices. 1. From Tertullian to Lactantius Latin Christian polemical and theological literature erupted in the last decade of the second century with a loud bang, Tertullian.1 Born around 170, Tertullian, a resident of Carthage in Roman North Africa, wrote his main extant works in the years between 196 and 212. The breadth, depth and impact of his thought on later
