The Civil Warfare was a significant turning point in American religious thought, argues Symbol A. Noll. Although Christian believers agreed with each other that the Bible was authoritative which it ought to be interpreted through commonsense guidelines, there was rampant disagreement about what Scripture educated about slavery. Furthermore, most Americans continued to believe God ruled above the affairs of people and nations, nonetheless they were radically divided in their interpretations of what God was doing in and through the war.Furthermore to examining what white and black Americans wrote about slavery and race, Noll studies commentary from overseas observers. Protestants and Catholics in Europe and Canada found clearly that no matter how much the voluntary reliance on scriptural specialist had added to the construction of countrywide civilization, if there were no higher religious specialist than personal interpretation regarding an issue as contentious as slavery, the ensuing general public deadlock would amount to a full-blown theological problems. By highlighting this theological issue, Noll increases our knowledge of not only the roots but also the strength of the Civil Warfare. The booklet is posted by University of NEW YORK Press.
