Organized religion has played a significant role in warfare
throughout history. From the time Moses led the Israelites out of
Egypt into the new Promised Land until 2001 and the undertaking of
the Global War on Terrorism, religion in one form or fashion has
impacted the individual soldier. The United States' Civil War from
1861 to 1865 was no different. The purpose of this thesis is to
look at the events leading up to the Civil War and the conflict
itself from the viewpoint of the Southern Baptist denomination.
Specifically, the thesis focuses on the reasons for the creation of
the Southern Baptist Convention, as well as examines how the
denomination supported the war effort. It looks at the wide range
of individual contributions of the denomination's chaplains,
missionaries, evangelists and colporteurs. It also details how
important the use of religious tracts were in ministering to
soldiers. As we continue our Global War on Terrorism, the
information contained within this paper should serve as a reminder
to those men and women at the Southern Baptist Seminaries that
religious service to the army is still necessary and that it comes
in many forms. As far as the human dimension and the spiritual
fitness of soldiers are concerned, what worked in 1863 is still
applicable in 2003.
