The Civil War as a Theological Crisis - Noll, Mark A.

Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear; In this rigorous and learned book, Mark Noll shows that the American Civil War was a crisis not only for theology, but also of theology. Even theologians who disagreed profoundly over slavery concurred that the fate of Christianity rested on the fate of the nation. This consensus not only paralyzed Reformed theology during the sectional crisis; Noll demonstrates that it crippled its development after the war. He creates a narrative for 19th theology that will reward scholars and genral readers alike.
