I read in the early 90s. IIRC, the protagonist was a pastor who was kidnapped? by a group of neonazis because he also had some kind of biological/medical expertise. The original werewolf is thousands of years old, and was Barabbas at the Crucifixion (the guy who was let off instead of Jesus). He was cursed because he'd betrayed his god(s), so a werewolf bit him instead of killing him, and now he can't die until he bites someone who betrayed their faith as badly as he did. But he turns into a murderous wolfman under the full moon and can't stop it. So the nazi people get hold of him so they can inject his saliva into their people and take over the world with invulberable werewolf nazis, and need the protagonist's help with this. And he helps them, but the new werewolves aren't quite as badass. The original werewolf bites him, because he betrayed his faith by helping nazis, and then the two of them kill all the nazi werewolves and the original one dies. There's an epilogue where the protagonist is in jail on a distant planet, with a defence attorney asking why he killed all those people, and he says "This planet has 3 moons right, one of them is full every night?" "Yeah?" "Well, in a couple hours you'll find out, and until then you won't believe me."
