American Crusade

Christianity, Warfare, and National Identity, 1860–1920 Benjamin J. Wetzel
Race and Religious Essentialism in Early Modern England Kimberly Anne Coles

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS
When is a war a holy crusade? And when does theology cause Chris�ans to condemn violence? In American Crusade, Benjamin Wetzel argues that the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and World War I shared a cultural meaning for white Protestant ministers in the United States, who considered each conflict to be a modern-day crusade.
Race, in the early modern period, is a concept at the crossroads of a set of overlapping concerns of lineage, religion, and na�on. Bad Humor charts how these concerns converged around a pseudoscien�fic system that confirmed the absolute difference between Protestants and Catholics and jus�fied English colonial domina�on.

FORDHAM UNIVERSITY PRESS
In the same way that the rise of the New Right cannot be understood apart from the mobiliza�on of evangelicals, Zubovich shows that the rise of American liberalism in the twen�eth century cannot be understood without a historical account of the global poli�cal mobiliza�on of liberal Protestants.
In one corner of Appalachia, a group of American ci�zens has embraced the Russian Orthodox Church and through it Pu�n’s New Russia. This ethnography highlights an inten�onal community of converts who are exemplary of much broader networks of Russian Orthodox converts in the US.

Mormon Peculiarity and U.S. Nationalism K. Mohrman
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
Are Mormons really so weird? Are they poten�ally queer? These ques�ons occupy the heart of this powerful rethinking of Mormonism and its place in U.S. history, culture, and poli�cs. K. Mohrman argues that Mormon peculiarity is not inherent to the La�er-day Saint faith tradi�on, as is o�en assumed, but rather a potent expression of U.S. excep�onalism.
Offers a fresh examina�on of Archbishop Theophilus of Alexandria's banishment of the socalled Tall Brothers, four Origenist monks who led monas�c communi�es in the western Egyp�an desert, and brings into dialogue narra�ve strands that have largely been separated in the scholarly tradi�on.

Analyzing the religious narra�ves, prac�ces, and construc�ons of religious subjec�vity of diverse groups of Muslims in Old Delhi, Kalyani Menon reveals the ways in which Muslims variously contest the insular and singular understandings of na�on that dominate the sociopoli�cal landscape of the country and make place for themselves.

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS
Provides a comprehensive history of Black Catholic nuns in the United States, tracing how Black sisters’ struggles were central to the long African American freedom movement. Williams calls a�en�on to Catholic women’s religious life as a stronghold of white supremacy and racial segrega�on—and thus an important ba�leground in the long African American freedom struggle.
Reconstructs in carefully researched detail the worldview of the ancient Israelites responsible for the Hebrew Bible. Kawashima argues that the ancient Israelites saw God in a radically different way than the peoples around them. Elegantly wri�en and powerfully argued, this book is essen�al reading for anyone wan�ng to grasp the Hebrew Bible and the ancient world that gave rise to it. 5

In transla�ng their visionary conversa�ons with Christ into vernacular text, medieval women turned themselves into authors and devo�onal guides, and formed their readers into textual communi�es shaped by gendered visionary experiences and spoken imita�o Chris�. 7
