The National Civil War Chaplain’s Research Center and Museum

Please consider supporting a most unique new Civil War Museum. The religious aspect of the War Between the States has been, until very recently, largely overlooked by historians and scholars. But with James Robertson's biography of Stonewall Jackson--which explored Jackson's faith in detail--Steven Woodworth's While God is Marchin On, and Faith in the Fight - Civil War Chaplains (by William C. Davis, James Roberston, John Brinsfield, and Benedict Maryniak), along with the great work being done by small publishers like Sprinkle Publications in reprinting old biographies and theological works from the period; this is changing. It is quite impossible to understand the American Civil War without understanding the dynamic faith that impacted the lives of the men who fought, especially those in the South. This new museum, which will be located at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, will go a long way in telling this story.
