Cover... Related Items History Amish | During the American Civil War, the Mennonites and Amish faced
moral dilemmas that tested the very core of their faith. How could they
oppose both slavery and the war to end it? How could they remain
outside the conflict without entering the American mainstream to secure
legal conscientious objector status? In the North, living this ethical
paradox marked them as ambivalent participants to the Union cause; in
the South, it marked them as clear traitors. In the first scholarly
treatment of pacifism during the Civil War, two experts in Anabaptist
studies explore the important role of sectarian religion in the
conflict and the effects of wartime Americanization on these religious
communities. James O. Lehman and Steven M. Nolt describe the various
strategies used by religious groups who struggled to come to terms with
the American mainstream without sacrificing religious values—some opted
for greater political engagement, others chose apolitical withdrawal,
and some individuals renounced their faith and entered the fight.
Integrating the most recent Civil War scholarship with little-known
primary sources and new information from Pennsylvania and Virginia to
Illinois and Iowa, Lehman and Nolt provide the definitive account of
the Anabaptist experience during the bloodiest war in American history.

Cover... Related Items History | The 1950s and early 1960s were a time of great spiritual and social change in the church. James O. Lehman effectively tells the story of a group of Christian layperson from a Mennonite community who had a heart for evangelism and spiritual renewal during this time of change. His account will be of particular interest to those who attended or assisted with the tent crusades. Ervin R. Stutzman, Moderator, Mennonite Church USA Copyright 2002. | |
