Bilo bi dobro da se štampaju 4 jevanđelja u jednoj knjizi, sa savremenim prevodom, krupnim slovima da svi moglu lako da čitaju. Tamo, npr. piše da je Isus poslat da svedoči istinu. Verujem da bi se cenjeno čitateljstvo u velikoj meri iznenadilo pročitanim.

I am so on board with this. Been buying all “vintage” cookbooks this past year — and so enjoying reading them and making the recipes.

"When you come to power, will you abolish the constitution of the German Republic?" It was 1931, and American journalist Dorothy Thompson was permitted only three questions during a rare interview with Adolf Hitler that many considered impossible to secure. The leader of Germany's rapidly ascending far-right Nazi party gave her a chillingly candid reply.

"I will get into power legally," Hitler told her. "I will abolish this parliament and the Weimar constitution afterward. I will found an authority-state, from the lowest cell to the highest instance; everywhere there will be responsibility and authority above, discipline and obedience below."

Thompson believed he was telling the truth about his dictatorial ambitions, yet she couldn't fathom that he would be successful. The very idea struck her as absurd: "Imagine a would-be dictator setting out to persuade a sovereign people to vote away their rights."

As one of America’s most respected foreign correspondents and the first American woman to head a foreign news bureau, Thompson had been tracking the Nazi movement since 1923. At the time of the interview, she was deeply familiar with Hitler, having watched his speeches, read Mein Kampf, and interviewed numerous German politicians and Nazi supporters.

"When I walked into Adolph Hitler's salon in the Kaiserhof hotel, I was convinced that I was meeting the future dictator of Germany," Thompson later reflected. "In something like fifty seconds I was quite sure that I was not. It took just about that time to measure the startling insignificance of this man who has set the world agog."

She recognized that Hitler was a masterful propagandist and orator in front of a crowd but she wasn't prepared for how pathetic he appeared one on one. "He is inconsequent and voluble, ill-poised, insecure. He is the very prototype of the Little Man," she wrote after their meeting. Thompson found the interview nearly impossible to conduct: "One cannot carry on a conversation with Adolph Hitler... In every question, he seeks for a theme that will set him off. Then his eyes focus in some far corner of the room; a hysterical note creeps into his voice, which rises sometimes almost to a scream. He gives the impression of a man in a trance. He bangs the table."

Following the interview, in numerous articles and her book "I Saw Hitler," she warned about the threat Hitler represented to democracy and highlighted Hitler's embrace of racial prejudice, noting that persecution of the Jewish people was among the first planks in his program. But ultimately, she viewed an outright Nazi victory in the upcoming election as "unlikely," not believing that German citizens would embrace such an extremist demagogue in an election.

Within a year, Thompson learned the devastating lesson of how easily democratic citizens could be persuaded to relinquish their rights to a would-be dictator who channeled their anxieties into hatred of a demonized 'other' while promising national greatness. After he came to power in 1933, Hitler began to crush his political opponents, rapidly militarize German society, and persecute targeted groups. Thompson quickly became one of the most vocal chroniclers of Hitler's growing brutality, warning a world that was largely oblivious. “It must be said, it must be re-iterated,” she wrote, “that there has been and still is a widespread terror, which extends throughout the whole of Germany.”

Hitler was sufficiently threatened by Thompson's work that he reportedly demanded the creation of a "Dorothy Thompson Emergency Squad" to rush translations of her articles to him. In August 1934, Nazi government expelled Thompson from the country, making her the first American journalist banned from Nazi Germany.
