There can be times which uncover uncomfortable truths and challenge our assumptions about Christianity and political action. Such was the experience of the Protestant Church in Germany which reached a climax in 1934 with the popular demand that it assimilate with the National Socialist state. Crucial to the outcome was Karl Barth, a controversial theologian, distrusted by many in the church. Evoking a dangerous time and providing insights into the minds of those who shaped it, 'Ashes and Diamonds' is the story of Karl Barth and the German church struggle.
