Abstract

If these ten former Confederate chaplains typify Southernwhite clergy-as they probably do-the pulpit asLongenecker shows served primarily not to critique theLost Cause but to bless it. Steve Longenecker, professor emeritus atBridgewater College and a scholar of American religioushistory, explores how ten clerics who had served theConfederacy as chaplains dealt with the outcomes of theCivil War in their secular and theological perspectives.
