Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This history of military chaplaincy in the United States examines both research and non-research literature which discuss the work of chaplains in writings which range from memoirs to polemics. While the chaplaincy is a significant and controversial institution, there are surprisingly few research studies on military chaplains. This book contributes to filling this gap with studies from Burchard, Fedje, Zahn, Johnson, and Aronis. These scholars examine topics such as role expectations, conflicts between a chaplainâs role as a clergyman and as a military officer, characteristics of senior-ranking Navy chaplains, and the experiences of chaplains in the Royal Air Force, the US Army, and the US Navy. The research presented here provides valuable data on the role of the military chaplain and will be of interest to chaplains, military personnel, and anyone interested in the history of military chaplaincy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of military chaplains, exploring the complex relationship between their religious calling and their role as commissioned officers. It challenges the perception that chaplains are subservient to the military, presenting a nuanced analysis of their unique position. Drawing on sociological research, the author presents the perspectives of both chaplains and commanding officers, revealing a surprising level of agreement in their expectations for the chaplain's role. The book also delves into the challenges and opportunities faced by chaplains, navigating the tensions between their spiritual obligations and the demands of military service. Ultimately, the author argues that military chaplains can indeed function as authentic clergy within the military context, providing essential spiritual support and guidance to service members.
