When Sorrow Comes: The Power of Sermons from Pearl Harbor to Black Lives Matter
Melissa M. Matthes

Focusing on Protestant sermons, Melissa Matthes argues that, since WWII, America’s religious majority has defined and redefined the nation and belonging through post-crisis mourning. And by embracing a patriotic role, preachers also act as civic educators.
