Description

Stuart Robinson used to be a prominent Presbyterian newspaper editor who took upon himself the dangerous task of distinguishing between the spiritual world and within a border state “city of conflict” All through the Civil War.

Presently, historians generally tend to depict religion All through the American Civil War as domesticated under sectional nationalism — where theologizing used to be directed at justifying the war so as to forge either a northern or southern Zion. Graham argues that such one-sided depictions don’t sufficiently account for either the existence of a border state phenomenon All through the civil war or the type of theologizing that used to be being propagated from out of the border states against the domestication of religion to sectional politics.

In A Kingdom Not of This World: Stuart Robinson’s Struggle to Distinguish the Sacred from the Secular All through the Civil War Preston D. Graham, Jr. presents a case study of a moderately sizeable movement among border state Presbyterians, with special attention given to their most celebrated and influential leader, the Dr. Rev. Stuart Robinson of Louisville, Kentucky. Given the significance of Robinson’s theologizing relative to the American doctrine of the separation of church and state, a number of number one resources are included in a reader section of the appendix.
