'''Gerhard Kittel''' (1888-1948) was a German [[liberal Christian]] theologian who revealed himself to be a virulent anti-Semite who wrote [[Nazi]]-influenced nonsense about Christianity.  Until his disclosure of or conversion to [[anti-Semitism]], he had been a well respected scholar.  He was so well-respected that secular and Christian [[Liberals]] within the academy denied or obscured his Third Reich work until Robert P. Ericksen's published work on Kittel in 1985 made such liberal denialism no longer possible, four decades after the Reich's fall.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=icUf4Ttg_6EC ''Theologians Under Hitler: Gerhard Kittel, Paul Althaus, and Emanuel Hirsch''], Robert P.
