Patriotism and religious belief were defining characteristics of both
public and private life during the 20th century. British army
chaplains were shaped by these powerful sentiments and in turn shaped
and interpreted them to understand their own roles and to provide a
message and ministry to soldiers and officers. Focusing on World War
II,. 'Chaplains at War' reveals how the army, the government and the
churches responded to the challenges of war, leading to innovation
that was unknown in peace time such as the appointing women as
Chaplains' Assistants. Alan Robinson uses interviews with former
chaplains, officers and soldiers and extensive archive research in
military, government and church archives to draw together personal
experience and official policy. His book will be essential reading for
anyone interested in British military history, church history and
religious studies.
