Publisher's Synopsis
"Christ in the Army; a Selection of Sketches of the Work of the U.S. Christian Commission" offers a glimpse into the vital support provided by the U.S. Christian Commission during the American Civil War. This collection of sketches highlights the organization's efforts to minister to the spiritual and physical needs of Union soldiers. Providing religious comfort, distributing supplies, and offering general aid, the Commission played a crucial role in bolstering morale and providing essential services on the front lines and in military hospitals.
Compiled by the Ladies Christian Commission of Philadelphia, this volume serves as a historical record of their dedication and the broader impact of faith-based organizations during a time of national crisis. It remains a valuable resource for understanding the intersection of religion, war, and humanitarian efforts in 19th-century America. The book is a testament to the enduring power of compassion and service in the face of adversity.
