Soldiers of the Cross: Confederate Soldier Christians and the Impact of War on Their Faith, by Kent T. Dollar. Thousands of Southern Christians enlisted in the rebel armies when the Civil War began, and tens of thousands of battle-hardened fighting men made wartime professions of faith. On the whole, these soldiers became more religious as the war progressed, but what was the long-term effect of four years of war and defeat on the faith of Christian soldiers? The stories of the nine individuals studied in this book vividly illustrate the impact of the Civil War on faith. (253 pages, 9.25” x 6.25”, Hardcover) – Item #3818
