A kingdom not of this world : Stuart Robinson's struggle to distinguish the sacred from the secular during the Civil War

"In A Kingdom Not of This World Preston D. Graham, Jr. presents a case study of a rather 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, several primary resources are included in a reader portion of the appendix."--Jacket
