Page ix ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My friend, mentor, and former professor, Marty E. Marty, the dean of American religious historians and professor at the University of Chicago, first directed my attention to the subject of American religion and World War II. He suggested that I investigate how much serious research had been done on religion and the war. I discovered, much to my surprise and delight, that very little had been done, and nothing done comprehensively He later read the entire manuscript and offered substantial suggestions. Two other Chicago faculty, Jerald Brauer, professor emeritus, and the late Arthur Mann, also offered helpful criticisms. I am deeply grateful to all of them for their investment of time, energy, and expertise. John Yoder and Dale Soden, professors at Whitworth College, read selected chapters and commented insightfully about ways that my argument could be nuanced better. I also wish to thank the dozens of librarians in the dozens of libraries across the Chicago area that I visited so regularly for what seemed at the time to be decades. They directed me to sources, answered my many questions, and expressed genuine interest in what I was doing. Two librarians at Whitworth College, Gail Fielding and Nancy Bunker, were quick to obtain books, articles, and other sources when I needed them. These bibliophiles transformed my research from an exercise in frustration into a journey of discovery.
