| Zusammenfassung: | "Pulpits of the Lost Cause compares the faith and politics of former Confederate chaplains during the Reconstruction period, and argues for some counterintuitive understandings of their beliefs and practices in the post-war period. Stephen L. Longenecker demonstrates that while some former chaplains vigorously defended the Lost Cause and were predictably conservative in the pulpit, embracing orthodoxy and resisting religious innovation, others were unexpectedly progressive and advocated on behalf of evolution, theological liberalism, and modern Biblical criticism. As proponents of the Lost Cause, they extolled the past, to be sure, but as religious progressives they looked to the future. They were compartmentalizers. The study thus finds unanticipated versatility in the Lost Cause movement. Rather than conforming to a single, simple explanation, the Lost Cause was a complicated popular movement that meant different things to different people." "It was a house with many rooms, with numerous contradictory viewpoints. For almost all white Southerners, the Lost Cause myth provided psychic healing for the catastrophic defeat of the Civil War, and Christianity was deeply intertwined with it. From grave decorations to re-interments to Sunday sermons, the Lost Cause became something of a religion in its own right. Theology bent in the service of the movement, and artifacts from the war, such as gray jackets, became sacred relics. For others, however, the Old South was not the best of times; the New South was, and the ideological diversity of former Confederate chaplains is highly informative in that regard. While most remained loyal to the Lost Cause, some accepted progressive thought in theology, politics, and even race. One former chaplain became a Harvard skeptic. Another wrote innovative, liberal theology read by European scholars. Yet another espoused racial equality, at least in theory if not full practice." "Most, Longenecker argues, were compartmentalizers. They were conservative on Decoration Day and liberal on Sunday. Wearing Confederate gray, some considered the past as a golden age of superior wisdom and truth, but in clerical black they assumed that the best was yet to come, that the future was superior to the past. Former Confederate chaplains also led complicated and sometimes vexed post-war lives. One former chaplain hob-nobbed with a former U.S. president and another with a future president. One was a temperance man who died an alcoholic; he took medicinal alcohol. One had a parish on the northern tip of Manhattan Island and later a fashionable congregation just blocks from the White House. One became the victim of America's first great heresy trial, and among his accusers was his mentor, another former chaplain. The core of the book probes the careers of ten former chaplains." |

Former Confederate chaplains also led complicated and sometimes vexed post-war lives. One former chaplain hob-nobbed with a former U.S. president and another with a future president. One was a temperance man who died an alcoholic; he took medicinal alcohol. One had a parish on the northern tip of Manhattan Island and later a fashionable congregation just blocks from the White House. One became the victim of America's first great heresy trial, and among his accusers was his mentor, another former chaplain. The core of the book probes the careers of ten former chaplains."
