Product Description

by Dayton Keesee

Synopsis:
In The Churches of Christ During the Civil War, Dayton Keesee traces the church's response to the war and its effects. Some Christians were deeply involved and on different sides, some were pacifists, and some tried to stay out of it altogether. Many preachers spoke, wrote, and lectured about the war and slavery and other issues confronting them, including missionary societies and instrumental music.

Northern congregations' activities were less affected, but even in the devastated South, the brethren strove to continue worship and evangelistic work. But throughout the turmoil and despite differences of opinion, the church of Christ retained its unity, unlike other religious groups.

    Fascinating read combining two areas I like to study, the history of the Church in the US and the Civil War era.

    Great purchase that fulfilled my expectations. I recommended to a fellow Christian. He ordered it and read it in a couple of days - I'm a little slower.

    This book will be found useful to anyone who seeks to understand the effects of a war among brothers. In particular, a war among brothers who claim God as their ultimate authority. It is especially relevant in 2021, and gives pause as to how we should conduct ourselves in the household of God to best accomplish His mission for the church.
