A review by smessmores
The Civil War as a Theological Crisis by Mark A. Noll

3.0

I'm not sure quite what I was hoping for from the book but what I got wasn't it, hence the three stars. It was informative, but I think I was expecting more drawing out applications and future patterns rather than merely cataloging statements. One of the things I really appreciated was the connection between religion and the growth of what American republicanism meant. I was surprised that European writers were able to clearly see the slavery/race connection so strongly, since I've never studied European views of American slavery before.
