A History of Christianity in the United States and Canada Quotes

“The war had taught both sides that the Scriptures could inspire a threatened people. Unfortunately, it also removed some of the checks and balances that, in other circumstances, kept biblical interpretation responsive to a general Christian framework. America’s public culture came to pay less and less attention to the Bible in the decades after the war. One of the reasons was that Christians had paid it the wrong kind of attention before and during the war.”
