The Civil War as a Theological Crisis

Looking Back

00:00 / 44:53

Today we discuss The Civil War and what we can learn from the theology that supported it. We hope you’ll find it as interesting as we did.

NOTES:

This is Scott’s book report on The Civil War as a Theological Crisis by Mark A. Noll.

We reference Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address which is always worth revisiting!

RECAP & TAKEAWAYS:

How you interpret the Bible matters. You are a creature of your context. Be humble. Do the hard work to make sure you get it right. Interpret the Bible in a community.
You can be biased by your own needs, context and story. An outside perspective is helpful.
It is easy to over-read God’s providential leading through circumstances. God’s work is best seen in retrospect. Even then, you can see where he providentially directed, but not necessarily why he did it!
