From Puritans waging war against the Pequot tribe to prayers offered after September 11, 2001, Americans have understood war in religious terms.  This course introduces students to a historical debate over the connection between God and war in the United States. It looks to presidents, preachers, poets, and the American people for insight into that relationship and asks students to consider the conflict within religions and through religious terms as Americans fought, killed, and died for their country.0
