A long line of movies, video games, and enlistment promos betray the final transformation of the American perspective on war-what was once considered a specter is now a spectacle. The war machine, driven by power-hungry corporate and political interests, glamorizes the American military as the epitome of freedom-fighting gallantry while branding peace-loving Americans as cowardly or even unpatriotic. "Support our troops" is often sufficient to silence any opposition to American imperialism. No one, including the majority of well-meaning Christians, seems to consider that the best way to support American soldiers consists in returning to a biblical doctrine of war.In The Bible & War in America, Joel McDurmon issues a blistering indictment of the current American war ethos, tracing its roots back to the Constitution, and showing, through rigorous biblical exegesis, how far we have strayed from God's standards for national defense. This book does not end at critique, however. It provides practical measures for returning America to decentralized ideals of local militia, just war, and non-intervention. All Christians and all Americans who love this country and her troops should read this book and follow its advice. Our blood-purchased freedoms hang in the balance.

Winner of an Award of Merit in the Christianity Today Book Awards, History/Biography category On January 17, 1776, one week after Thomas Paine published his incendiary pamphlet Common Sense, Connecticut minister Samuel Sherwood preached an equally patriotic sermon. God Almighty, with all the powers of heaven, are on our side, Sherwood said, voicing a sacred justification for war that Americans would invoke repeatedly throughout the struggle for independence. In Sacred Scripture, Sacred War, James Byrd offers the first comprehensive analysis of how American revolutionaries defended their patriotic convictions through scripture. Byrd shows that the Bible was a key text of the American Revolution. Indeed, many colonists saw the Bible as primarily a book about war. They viewed God as not merely sanctioning violence but actively participating in combat, playing a decisive role on the battlefield. When war came, preachers and patriots alike turned to scripture not only for solace but for exhortations to fight. Such scripture helped amateur soldiers overcome their natural aversion to killing, conferred on those who died for the Revolution the halo of martyrdom, and gave Americans a sense of the divine providence of their cause. Many histories of the Revolution have noted the connection between religion and war, but Sacred Scripture, Sacred War is the first to provide a detailed analysis of specific biblical texts and how they were used, especially in making the patriotic case for war. Combing through more than 500 wartime sources, which include more than 17,000 biblical citations, Byrd shows precisely how the Bible shaped American war, and how war in turn shaped Americans' view of the Bible. Brilliantly researched and cogently argued, Sacred Scripture, Sacred War sheds new light on the American Revolution.

“[This book provides] numerous brilliant and sound insights into the nature of low-level conflict. Sarkesian also perceptively describes the imperatives of the military mind set and armed forces structure necessary to help the US government achieve its national objectives in a turbulent world. Despite shortcomings, the book is a good and necessary work for those who want to know about the type of warfare that will engage our military forces for the rest of this century and beyond.

"In his Second Inaugural Address, Abraham Lincoln said both North and South 'read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.' Lincoln quoted several biblical texts in this address--which, according to Frederick Douglass, 'sounded more like a sermon than a state paper.' The Bible, as Lincoln's famous speech illustrated, saturated the Civil War. In this book, James Byrd offers the most thorough analysis yet of how Americans enlisted scripture to fight the Civil War. As Byrd reveals in this insightful narrative, no book was more important to the Civil War than the Bible. From Massachusetts to Mississippi and beyond, the Bible was the nation's most read and most respected book. It brought to mind sacred history and sacrifice. It presented a drama of salvation and damnation, of providence and judgement. It was also a book of war. Americans cited the Bible in addressing many wartime issues, including slavery, secession, patriotism, federal versus state authority, white supremacy, and violence. In scripture, both Union and Confederate soldiers found inspiration for dying and killing like never before in the nation's history. With approximately 750,000 fatalities, the Civil War was the deadliest of the nation's wars. Americans fought the Civil War with Bibles in hand, with both sides calling the war just and sacred. This is a book about how Americans enlisted the Bible in the nation's most bloody, and arguably most biblically-saturated war"--

The sixteen essays in this volume, all previously unpublished, address the little considered question of the role played by religion in the American Civil War. The authors show that religion, understood in its broadest context as a culture and community of faith, was found wherever the war was found. Comprising essays by such scholars as Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Drew Gilpin Faust, Mark Noll, Reid Mitchell, Harry Stout, and Bertram Wyatt-Brown, and featuring an afterword by James McPherson, this collection marks the first step towards uncovering this crucial yet neglected aspect of American history.

Viewing the Civil War as a major turning point in American religious thought, Mark A. Noll examines writings about slavery and race from Americans both white and black, northern and southern, and includes commentary from Protestants and Catholics in Europe and Canada. Though the Christians on all sides agreed that the Bible was authoritative, their interpretations of slavery in Scripture led to a full-blown theological crisis.

The book of Revelation clearly tells us that someday there would be an end to this world; many have tried to determine this mystery date in our future to no avail. But the mystery that the date seekers and many others failed to notice is this, WHY Why is so much more important than when? There is no question about it; this world will definitely come to an end. But, why is it going to end? In an ancient generation of mankind God gave man his law. It is called the “TEN COMMANDMENTS”. In today’s society these laws are broken every day without much notice. To our own ignorance there is always a price to pay when we disobey. But life goes on. These laws were put into place to protect us from ourselves. But there is one sin that brought our world to an end that fell through the cracks virtually unnoticed. This great sin has now spread throughout the entire earth; Christians and unbelievers are all involved in this sin that has now grown so large that it is actually bringing in the curse of God for the judgment of this sin that will ultimately end our world as we know it. Fulfilling the prophecies of the book of Revelation. In this day and time knowledge has been much increased. So the sin that caused our world to end would have to be put in place in such a way as to be greatly unnoticed. Such as an illusionist or magician. In this book that you are about to read, you will learn the greatest deception ever pulled off in the world’s history, and at a cost so great that it will cause the end of our world, as we know it. The time for this judgment has already began, as early as 2007 the count down clock for the end of the world events began to tick off. The Holy bible was given to mankind directly from God to tell us how life began and why our world ended.
