The Civil War As A Theological Crisis by Mark Noll
This study argues that the American Civil War was driven and shaped by competing Christian theologies: northern and southern communities interpreted Scripture, providence, and the moral status of slavery in sharply different ways, producing denominational splits, politicized preaching, and conflicting claims about God’s will and national destiny; the book traces how theological debates about sin, liberty, covenant, and eschatology influenced political argument, soldier morale, and public memory, and shows how the conflict transformed American religious life and left enduring theological and institutional consequences.
