This is an interesting book on how the Bible was used and misused during the civil war. Both sides took verses out of context to justify their actions and to find comfort. One of the most cited chapters was Romans 13, with each side interpreting it differently. Frequently they turned to Old Testament war stories to convince soldiers that it was right to kill people. Crazy times, yet unfortunately, people make the same mistakes in Bible interpretation today.
