The military-industrial complex in the United States has grown exponentially in recent decades, yet the realities of war remain invisible to most Americans. The U.S has created a culture in which sacrificial rhetoric is the norm when dealing in war. This culture has been enabled because popular American Christian understandings of redemption rely so heavily on the sacrificial. 'U.S War-Culture, Sacrifice and Salvation' explores how the concept of Christian redemption has been manipulated to create a mentality of "necessary sacrifice". The study reveals the links between Christian notions of salvation and sacrifice and the aims of the military-industrial complex.

Kelly Denton-Borhaug is Associate Professor in the Dept. of Religion at Moravian College, where she teaches contemporary Christian theology and ethics. Her scholarly work explores feminist and other liberationist understandings of Christian redemption in order to critique elements of contemporary U.S. culture. She has written and published articles on feminism and Christian atonement, Christian ethics, war and peace, and torture. She is ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
