Today it counts Jews, Mormons, Muslims, Christian Scientists, Buddhists, Seventh-day Adventists, Hindus, and evangelicals among its ranks. Enlisting Faith traces the uneven processes through which the military struggled with, encouraged, and regulated religious pluralism over the twentieth century. Despite the constitutional separation of church and state, the federal government formally authorized and managed religion in the military.. While officials debated which chaplains could serve, what insignia they would wear, and what religions soldiers could mark on dog tags, clergy in uniform figured out how to lead worship for and teach character education to a broad range of faiths, confronted racial discrimination and rape, wrestled with untimely death and proselytizing, and navigated conscientious objection to war. Enlisting Faith is a vivid, lively portrayal of religious encounters, state regulation, and the trials of faith--in God and country--experienced by the millions of Americans who fought in and with the armed forces in modern America.-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 Prologue: The mixed-up dog tags of Private Leonard Shapiro -- Mobilizing faith -- "Christ is the melting pot for all our differences" -- The boundaries of religious citizenship -- Chaplain Jim wants you! -- The military-spiritual complex -- "Maybe God is an American" -- Moral objection and religious obligation -- Fighting with faith -- Epilogue: Between God and the American state. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Military chaplains |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Religion and state |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 650 7 Military chaplains. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01430766 650 7 Religion and state. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01093863 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 650 4 HISTORY / Military / United States. 650 4 HISTORY / United States / 20th Century. 650 4 RELIGION / Religion, Politics & State. 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 880 4 |6264-00 |c�2017 852 0 |bstacks |hUH23 |i.S73 2017 852 0 |bscstacks |hUH23 |i.S73 2017
