Description

The first close examination of how Robert E. Lee’s faith shaped his life

Robert E. Lee used to be many things—accomplished soldier, military engineer, college president, circle of relatives man, agent of reconciliation, polarizing figure. He used to be also an individual of deep Christian conviction. On this biography of the famous Civil War general, R. David Cox shows how Lee’s Christian faith shaped his an important role in one of the crucial most pivotal events in American history.

Delving into circle of relatives letters and other number one sources—a few of them newly found out—Cox traces the lifelong development of Lee’s convictions and how they influenced his decisions to stand with Virginia over against the Union and later to give a boost to reconciliation and reconstruction in the years after the Civil War. Faith used to be central to Lee’s character, Cox argues—so central that it directed and redirected his life, especially in the aftermath of defeat.
