Book Description
I found this doctoral thesis in the US Library of Congress. Weis presented it to the Faculté de Théologie protestante de l'Université de Strasbourg in 1929. Weis opens his preface, "No sympathetic life of Ludwig Hetzer has heretofore been written." He quotes Hetzer: "Oh God, my Father, grant us fearless prophets: Open my mouth and I will unflinchingly speak thy truth!" That Hetzer, husband and father of two sons, at age 29 was beheaded for speaking what he believed was the truth certainly deserves our sympathy. Weis includes a chronology, bibliography, appendix, and hymns in the original German and translated into English.
