This book examines how World War II affected denominational
colleges who faced a national crisis in relationship to their
Christian tenets and particular religious communities and student
bodies. With denominational positions ranging from justifying the
war in light of the existential threat that the United States faced
to maintaining long-held beliefs of nonviolence, the multitude of
institutional positions taken during World War II speaks to the
scope of religious diversity within Christian higher education and
the central issues of faith and service to God and country.
Ultimately, Laukitis provides a particular lens to analyze the
history of higher education during World War II through an
examination of denominational institutions. The relationship
between higher education, faith, and war offers depth to
understanding the role of denominational colleges in articulating
theological interpretations of war and their sense of
responsibility as Christian liberal arts institutions in the United
States.
