Introduction -- Redemption through war -- Chance the man-angel and the combat numinous -- Suffering, death, and salvation -- Christ's cause, Pharoah's army -- Ideal women in an ideal war -- "There are no dead" -- "The same cross in peace" : the American Legion, the ongoing war, and American reillusionment. Faith in the Fight tells a story of religion, soldiering, suffering, and death in the Great War. Recovering the thoughts and experiences of American troops, nurses, and aid workers through their letters, diaries, and memoirs, Jonathan Ebel describes how religion - primarily Christianity - encouraged these young men and women to fight and die, sustained them through war's chaos, and shaped their responses to the war's aftermath. The book reveals the surprising frequency with which Americans who fought viewed the war as a religious challenge that could lead to individual and national redemption. Believing in a "Christianity of the sword," these Americans responded to the war by reasserting their religious faith and proclaiming America God-chosen and righteous in its mission. And while the war sometimes challenged these beliefs, it did not fundamentally alter them. --From publisher's description. Print version record.
